Nymich Posted July 17, 2019 #51 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Those pictures seem to indicate that they better get working to make that 11-9 date. I already cancelled one and am poised to cancel another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2tcdx2 Posted July 18, 2019 #52 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Well hopefully by the next time we sail on the Seaside in October 2020, the island will be all ready to go and be broken pretty well. I have been more focused on the private island Royal is doing and the things there for our March 2020 sailing that I haven't looked at MSC a whole lot. Will be nice for just a little something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be nice for just a little something different. If you are talking about Perfect Day at Cocoa Cay, I was just there a few months ago. Royal has done exactly what they said they would (and their schedule has been reasonably accurate too; which is no small task when dealing with the islands). Whether or not the changes are positive are a matter of opinion, but based on my experience, Royal has certainly made their vision a reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent him a message asking if it would be okay to share his photos on CC and am awaiting his reply. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the one with the bridge connecting the beach looks good. And the lighthouse structure (skeleton) looks nice, as well. From seeing buildings and houses go up around DC, the boring parts seem to take forever, and then the actual buildings seemingly appear overnight. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we were just discussing IF the island is ready except for YC in early 2020... where will YC guests be put...AND will there be cranes/workers on the days the ships are in port or only on days when the island is without pax/guests?

sidari Posted July 20, 2019 #71 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I doubt that they could give that assurance due to the time of year and the chance that the weather could wipe out their time frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will being utilizing 10 cabanas and will have one bar serving that beach (the Maze Bar). As I say will with all things MSC, it really stands for Most Surely Changes. 😀 Bret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tentative menus for YC looks very nice. YC is spendy and we hope they do right by the YC folks. We have B2B booked so would be at OC twice over the two sailings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIREFIGHTERCRUISER Posted July 22, 2019 #75 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Does anyone have links to mock ups of the Cabanas, or actual pictures yet? I haven't been able to find any in my searching. Just wondering what you get for your $250. Not Yacht club specific....just regular steerage class. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
