(Can Melody even be called a ship?!! 🤣🤣). Melody, 2002, out of Fort Lauderdale. MSC was "more different" from other cruiselines than it is now. There was a learning curve for getting the most out of the experience, but in the end, a fine cruise. Great cabin, fabulous music and dancing and activities. In talking with the Captain on Seaside in 2020, we learned that he was an officer on Melody while we were aboard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also did Melody about 20 years ago and Seaside about 5 and I had a couple of very nice conversations with the captain about the Melody we had inquired about a excellent piano player who was super talented and was told he is still working on MSC ships , we are booked again this December in yacht club on seaside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Another was on one of our Magnifica sailings in the Med). It’s the way of cruising - you can have an amazing time on the same ship (or even cruise) that others have a nightmare on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one Splendida 2017, last one Euribia last week with Magnifica, Preziosa, Seaview , Meraviglia, Bellissima, Grandiosa and Virtuosa in-between, not necessarily in that order 😆.

So funny to think that MSC is regarded as ‘the new kid on the bloc’ in terms of US sailings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted March 16 #43 Share Posted March 16 A little off-topic, but we don’t have a favourite ship, just a favourite onboard experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Monterey cruise was in 1994, then it was 10 years before we started cruising again. We try to do at least two a year preferring the long itineraries and repositioning cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare laudergayle Posted March 22 #48 Share Posted March 22 We really just started cruising again post Covid and have been NCL loyal, now Platinum….matched to MSC Gold. We dabbled last year with a 4-day on Seaside. Loved the ship experience (although the casino is small). We just did another shortie on Seashore. Also enjoyed it immensely. We have World Europa booked for November…which seems too far away. On the verge of convincing DH we need a 7-day on Seashore in late summer. Tally: Seaside ✔️ Seashore✔️ World Europa…just waiting (impatiently) Seashore 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookie2u Posted March 24 #49 Share Posted March 24 None 😶 But I'm booked in May on the Seashore and next March on the Preziosa, trying to get the full MSC experience. I'm here to soak in all of your wisdom and good sailing vibes. 💜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
