Have MSC America booked 5/24/25 to 6/21/25 in Miami if you are looking at booking a MSC cruise 🙂. We will be boarding Brilliance on Sept 17 in Vancouver for her last Alaskan cruise and then stay on for our first trans pacific to home to Hawaii. Off topic, but was thinking of you and your family as we see the wildfire devastation. Hope you were unaffected and doing well. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted August 13, 2023 #227 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just come across this review and thoroughly enjoyed reading it, thanks for taking the time to tell us all about your experiences. We have done a lot of cruising on Celebrity and enjoy it very much but the prices for the Retreat have just got silly here in Europe. MSC YC has become a go to for many of the reasons you have highlighted. Glad that you and your lovely daughter had a great cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted August 22, 2023 #228 Share Posted August 22, 2023 @GenerationX Would you mind describing you impression of the YC rooms versus those on Celebrity. I got an impression from reading the room descriptions that the comparable YC suite was much smaller than a Sky Suite on Celebrity M & S class ships.

I wish RCL would stop in Kihei. The stores and people for the rest of the island need visitors and their spending. Just not in Lahaina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not in Lahaina. I can't think of any place in Kihei where a ship the size of RCL's (or any other cruise line) would be able to set up a tender operation for shore calls. Maybe Maalaea, but that's quite aways from Kihei... But I do get your point about the need for tourist money...

Would like to combine it with a cruise to or from Oz or Vancouver. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have a blast there doing all the activities. If just you and your wife I would suggest the Marriott Ko Olina beach club for your stay. Much more relaxed and not as loud. Wife and I are doing our first trans Pacific. In about 3 weeks we are taking Brilliance on her last Alaska sailing of this year. Then staying on for the trans Pacific and getting off in Honolulu. Great to only have to fly one way! In 2024 we are thinking of doing the same Alaska to Honolulu but stay on all the way to Oz and then cruising and touring Oz and New Zealand before flying home. See you two on a future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
