Rare morpheusofthesea Posted November 25, 2023 Author #151 Share Posted November 25, 2023 How the staff in the Yacht Club occupy their free time taking discarded pieces from the Champagne we consume and make art work. We were presented with this on our last evenings dinner. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted November 25, 2023 #157 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) nice bar stock. I don’t think there would be a reason to leave the room with a setup like that. 5 hours ago, morpheusofthesea said: A quick panning of the living/dining area and why DW needs so many towels. The only problem with this cabin is the heat that these windows generates. Edited November 25, 2023 by DaKahuna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, MSC can (and may) change Top Sail snack policy seventeen times before we are next in YC. However, I do hope other snack categories are ready in the kitchen and butlers are cleared to bring them out, by individual request. If not, our customary afternoon tea will very much fall short with only "Assorted nuts, chips & marinated olives." If such becomes standard operating procedure in YC, Cunard will have a ship in North America year-round, starting in '26. I'm quite sure they can do better than nuts, chips, and olives for their tea service. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosecco corks are notorious for their lousy traction in snow. I hadn't noticed. But now that you mentioned it. There appears to be a 'pecking order' to who gets what bottle discards. On our cruise last month we had the head waiter as our waiter and he presented us with the race car with a 'real' Champagne discards, or Italian 'wheels' are premium. 7 hours ago, no1talks said: If not, our customary afternoon tea will very much fall short with only "Assorted nuts, chips & marinated olives." We never made it to teatime as it would ruin our dinner at 6. It appears all the previous cut backs have been brought back, at least in the YC.

We skip lunch on port days, so we hasten back to the ship to freshen up for tea and suitable accompaniments. A few hours later, it is time to dress for dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted November 26, 2023 Author #163 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Upon reflection our only problem we experienced on the Seascape this cruise was it flew by too quickly. Still we can only handle one week at a time do to age. We 'bite the bullet' for Christmas/ New Years and I have to prepare myself for much whining by day 9 of a 14 day cruise. The whining rapidly increases into moaning and griping about eating too much. It finally crescendos into being my fault for her weight gain. Upon arriving home she makes a beeline to the bathroom scale to find just one extra pound. The question remains; Is it worth the persistent nagging ? .....Yes ! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a scale on the ship that could perhaps provide some insight into her weight gain status? I understand the readings won't be exactly the same. I've used a gym scale a couple times, just out of curiosity, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be my longest cruise so far. I will definitely have to prepare myself for that long of a journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare blueslily Posted November 26, 2023 #166 Share Posted November 26, 2023 General question for everyone. I was on Cruise Mapper trying to figure out how many other ships will be docking at our ports for my upcoming Seascape cruise. I could figure them all out except Puerto Plata, DR. I see Amber Cove listed. Seascape is included in that list. Five ships total that day. But, I thought Seascape would dock at Taino Bay. But, I did not see Taino Bay listed as an option for Puerto Plata. Can someone please assist. Maybe I'm mixing up the names of something. Or, does the site just not list the other port? Thanks 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwest Posted November 26, 2023 #167 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Just returned yesterday from a 27 day TA on Princess and found that I lost 1.5 lbs. This has absolutely nothing to do with any extraordinary willpower but speaks directly to the decline in the quality of their food. This both in terms of quality and selection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager89 Posted November 26, 2023 #168 Share Posted November 26, 2023 How often is Karaoke please? I saw it on one of the dailies but being 1:15 hours duration only, my DH won’t be happy if it’s just a couple, of times on a week long cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it because it’s in kilograms and I can fudge the 2.2 to 2.1 on my phone calculator for her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, do they monitor entry into that area as much as they do the Yacht Club areas? Booked Aurea for upcoming cruise. What have you noticed overall about that area. Thanks so much! When I finally figured out how to get out to Top 19 from YC (Day 5 lol)....I noticed that it was literally empty the remainder of the cruise. Even on our last Sea day...may be 10 people max. From the main cruise deck...has a glass door with a card reader which is accessible via your card or MSC wrist band. Not alot of traffic on deck 19 which limits entry by others. To get into YC from Aurea is a mini maze thru unmarked wood looking doors..so much different than Seaside where Aurea and YC sundecks were on same deck and accessible via a glass door reader. Pool deck in YC is on deck 20 Edited December 1, 2023 by lcpagejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
