Rare ConnieTact Posted Tuesday at 09:19 AM #1 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:19 AM Here we go again! Yet another live report. I have resisted doing them on my last few cruises but this is a different ship and because there is so little written about Seaview online, and especially a lack of information about Yacht Club. I’ll attempt to rectify that! We booked this trip last year onboard MSC Virtuosa, while in Barcelona, back in November 2023. We had been enjoying Yacht Club so much we knew we wanted to repeat the experience back in the Med. It will be our eleventh time in the MSC ‘ship within a ship’ Yacht club experience, and seventh different MSC ship. I’ll be finding out which class of ship suits us best and reporting on the food, the entertainment, the venues and all areas around the ship too. expect lots of photos! I love sunsets and expect there to be some good ones as the weather forecast is right for it! Please follow along and ask any questions. I’ll do my best to investigate for you! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnpurple Posted Tuesday at 04:06 PM #2 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:06 PM It will be wonderful! Our first MSC cruise was Seaview in YC with almost the same itinerary. We stopped at Malta and not Palma. After being on Divina and Euribia, I think Seaview is my favorite. We didn't explore too much outside YC because being port heavy, we made the most of stops. Our kids however, enjoyed the night life and partying with the young Italians they met! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Best Cat Mom Posted Tuesday at 04:15 PM #3 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:15 PM Thanks for taking the time to do a live review, @ConnieTact. We've not been on Seaview yet either and it will be nice to see how it compares to Seaside and Seascape. I always enjoy your reviews and am looking forward to this helping us get through cruise withdrawal when we disembark on Saturday. Buon viaggio! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a great cruise! I’m glad to hear you liked it! We have been to all the ports so may not do too much in each port but, have booked one MSC excursion as they are often great value for money. I think we may do our own thing in most. I’m at work getting last bits done and the thought of the break is making me smile!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same, when not in a cruise I am reading and living through other people’s while I look forward and plan my next one! I am sure Seaview will be very similar to the others you mention. There is little difference between Grandiosa, Virtuosa and Euribia but it’s exciting to discover what little things are not the same! Enjoy every minute of your last few days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on Seascape now, about 75% of the way through a 14-night Caribbean sailing. I've got a live thread going. @morpheusofthesea was with us the first week and @DaKahuna is with us now. They also have live threads. The 3 of us keep tripping over each other trying to remember which thread we're in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that 25% portion stretch out as much as possible! Who said you can’t burn a candle at both ends?!?! Plenty of time to sleep when on terra firma! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ConnieTact Posted yesterday at 08:10 AM Author #12 Share Posted yesterday at 08:10 AM Every time I go to pack, it’s the same old story! 😻 We’re only taking hand luggage this time. We found these cases that measure exactly to the maximum that is allowable on most airlines! They look big when in the queue compared to other ‘hand luggage’ but if measured, they’d pass the test! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ConnieTact Posted 5 hours ago Author #15 Share Posted 5 hours ago On the Bristol Airport flyer- a bus that goes directly to the Airport from coach station. Very easy to get on and much cheaper than taxi. One way was a surprising £55 from airport to home the last time so I investigated and found this is just £15 return! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ConnieTact Posted 3 hours ago Author #16 Share Posted 3 hours ago We couldn’t get lounge access online to prebook. Tried on arrival but was told they are closing the lounge soon so, no use joining virtual queue! We found beers in nice cafe area away from busy pubs that had queues. bad news- plane delayed just over an hour (so far!) Hope pilot wants to get home early and speeds it up! Our late arrival in Palma may be even later now! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
