Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2018 Author #401 Share Posted July 25, 2018 My son is also a creature of habit. He is 12 turning 13 in about 4 months. Well he did like the water slides the first week but he had friends onboard then. Although he refused to do the teens club. We had a great time bowling and doing the F1 simulator. Though the 5d experience is fun, we did not find it to be worth the price. What is your next cruise after mariner in 3 weeks time? We will be on allure in oct. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk After Mariner in 3 weeks, we are going into dry dock until March. Unfortunately, as a teacher, I can only cruise during march and the summer months. Always the high seasons. However, March will be our Star Class experiment on Harmony so I am pretty excited for that!

LadyVol1 Posted July 25, 2018 #402 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I’ve really enjoyed following along on your Yacht Club cruise. Hopefully your disembarkation paperwork will explain what the latest is that you can actually stay on the ship on disembarkation day. We have a very late flight and I want to leave the ship (or Yacht Club) at 10 AM. I hope that’s allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2018 Author #403 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Great day in San Juan today! It was raining to start today but by the time we ate breakfast and got off the ship, the sun was shining and it was hot! Today we decided to do a self guided walking tour of the city. Thanks to great friends on the Royal Caribbean Blog (you know who you are), we had already decided we would walk uphill into the city to El Morro and then take the scenic route along the water back to the ship. This strategy allowed us to tackle the uphill climb while we still had energy. Here are some photos of our walk along the way. [emoji328]all Hubby Upon arriving at El Morro it was quite warm. And that's coming from a Canadian who doesn't like the cold. But were treated to beautiful views.

You can sit in the lounge and you tell a butler when you are ready to leave and he will escort you off but 10 is about as late as you can stay.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2018 Author #405 Share Posted July 25, 2018 On the way back, as we walked along the water. The breeze was a nice break from the heat. Got back to the ship around 11am. Not bad at all. We made good time. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed on till about 10:10 to see if the crowds in customs was thinner, but it wasn't. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Our friends Beamafar and Skier52 nudged us over the YC edge last year, as we had an Aurea booking for a second time. Aurea is quite an experience, but our friends were absolutely right in their guidance. We will not regret but rather cherish your choice of upgrade.

Great meeting you.Nice meeting you and your wife also. We just had some orange juice after breakfast and hung around. I wish we knew about the potato chips in top sail lounge the first week. Didn't find out about them till the 10th night of the cruise when I saw some being served. Hope to see you again on another cruise. Email me at the address from our cruise card.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #418 Share Posted July 26, 2018 After dinner we went to watch "Timeless". I was expecting another mix of the usual singing, aerial work, dancing, etc. and boy was I surprised! John was absolutely correct in saying that this show was by far the best show yet! A great tribute to Michael Jackson, high energy, and yes, the usual mix of variety acts as well. But definitely a treat to watch tonight! Here are some scopes from tonight: https://www.pscp.tv/w/biktXjF4TlFhYVJPT2V3UWJ8MXZBeFJFemVrZWpKbH-R8RbevgthEN_jtxJ_noxo87LN5smXu0OJZEseMAjg https://www.pscp.tv/w/biktkTF4TlFhYVJPT2V3UWJ8MXZPeHdWcFdqUG1KQrWSj6qlx-D1E3rYdiW-4UkxhWn5HyyjlmizO4ZNw5sc Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strikerSBG Posted July 26, 2018 #420 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Re Havensight vs. Crown Bay: You should be able to determine this for St. Thomas (or for any other port) by Googling cruise ship calendar for ___________ port. You'll also get to see what other ships will be in port with you. Hi Linda! Thanks - I know these sites but they do not differentiate between the different docks (at least the sites I could find). http://ports.cruisett.com/schedule/US_Virgin_Islands/620-Saint_Thomas/January_2019/ @Lovetocruise2002: Thanks for the pics with the regulations for the slides. Do I understand it right that under 7 years nobody is allowed to slide altough he or she has reached the asked height for the slides? Which kid is e.g. under 102 cm with an age of 5 or 6 years?:confused: Stupid regulation... Edited July 26, 2018 by strikerSBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #423 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Day 6 - Sea Day Got to bed pretty late last night. So far the cruise has been every bit as relaxing as I have wanted. I do not regret trying out the MSC Yacht Club experience. Today is the second formal/elegant night. I am excited to try out this lobster that everyone has raved about. Other than that, we have no real set plans other than relaxing and soaking in our last two days on board. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare gotta cruise again Posted July 26, 2018 #425 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Have you tried out any of the spa or thermal suite offerings? What did you think of the clear-floor bridges? It appears you’ve sailed RCCL the most but did mention Disney cruises in your past. How does this MSC cruise compare to your experiences on lines other than RCCL? Did you attend the CC M&M or the Black card part or when the officers visited YC? Any thoughts on these? Thank you for your input and for the blog, photos, and scopes—so VERY helpful and makes us even more excited about our Dec YC cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
