@@ajshacannon7235 you will love it!

ok

your'e welcome!

thanks?

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks!

I will be going on this ship in Yacht Club in January

@@FireandWaterTravel Me too. Jan 15th 2025

hmmm, they would probably charge you for it once they see it is not in there... but anyway, thanks for the comment!

it is by invite only.. I was not invited as I had my minor daughter with me...

I think the highlight was the entertainment, it was pretty good. Food needs improvement the most especially the Steakhouse. They have a lot to improve on for that to charge the extra $$ they do for it. I would sail again on a longer sailing and when kids are back in school. this one had a lot of kids due to the sale they had going on with low price and kids sail free.. But I was really impressed with how they fixed most of the issues they had on the 1st few sailings, even the people who worked at the port said so..

BTW this is my 2nd channel I just started, my main channel is here - www.youtube.com/@FireWaterCooking

@@FireandWaterTravel got you there too! I need to learn to cook…I can burn water!

How did you guys get the suite upgrade? It was just randomly?

@@yb8657I think so. There were 3 of us booked in a breezy balcony but after we got onboard Mr A and Viscily said they remembered us from the Paradise and then said they had some bigger rooms open we might be more comfortable in.

awesome! you should go on it and see how different it all is now!

You have to go on this ship then!! If my first cruise ship was still in service I would love to be on it again. MAS Paradise is very similar to it, that is why I like it so much. Going on the Islander next week.

yes! it is an Amazing Place!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes.. you get access to pool, beach, food, drinks, just pay extra for inflatables and other stuff

the prices change every year, best to just call them. I really cant remember what the cost was...

Can youbsay about what the price was?

@@imeldahenriquez2140 it cost us around $1200 plus air fare and hotel stay the night before in Roanoke... but the prices change every year and the accommodations you choose will also change the cost.. if you call them they can give you current prices..

It really is!

Thanks!!

oh, there is plenty of garlic, but the food is outstanding!

yeah, it was pretty awesome! We got a super deal on this cabin that I do not think will happen again.. It was great for a Celebration Cruise on the Celebration!

Oh, and we ALMOST got that hot tub room, but opted for the Aurea suite on the aft of the ship instead. What the wife wanted. Oh well, maybe next time.

yeah, aft suites are cool also!

yeah, we have cruised on Carnival, Princess, Royal, and NCL and MSC is OK, Just has some differences. We will try out the Yacht Club next I think.

glad you liked it!

Glad it was helpful!

depending on the itinerary and number of guests in the cabin , anywhere from $8,000 to $11,000 per cruise.

@@FireandWaterTravelthank you.

it is on the MSC website.. If you are interested in booking a cruise let me know and I can help you get the best deal on the best ship and experience! www.msccruisesusa.com/cruise/experiences-staterooms

@@FireandWaterTravel Thank you for your kind offer but our cruise is already booked and paid for in May.

*meant to say were traveling with an 11 and 7 year old

they do not have fireworks, it is a laser light show from the Lighthouse. it is best to watch that on shore as the way the ship docks only the Yacht club and a few other cabins have a good view of the show. Enjoy your trip!

there is some, but not live music

who told you that the Aurea Balcony did not come with the Aurea features? We actually did the upgrade and got all of the Aurea features, so whoever told you that was mistaken...

Sorry, I called back and they did confirm that I do get all the benefits of Aurea. Customer services needs to do some training.

@@davefineout5644 here is one thing to look for, we did have to go to customer service on the ship as they upgraded the room but we had to have them upgrade the experience on the ship, which they did with no issue, so if you get there and it still has Fantastica on your cabin card go to customer service and have them change it. They told us sometimes they do not change it in time for the experience part to get to the ship, but if you are in an aurea cabin you get full Aurea benefits..

I saw a video from another person awhile back that was saying that if you upgraded to the Yacht club from another level you did not get Yacht Club benefits, but they were also wrong. They were just repeating what they heard from another person who had never even been on an MSC cruise. There is a lot of BS out there about the MSC cruises for sure..

@@FireandWaterTravel Yes, That is true about mis information, I was on Divina in 2015 and I liked that it was more laidback and relaxing. Looking forward to seeing this ship! Thanks again for the great info!

Totally agree!

Thanks for watching! We have more videos coming out from our travels!

not sure I know about MSC having a chef's table experience..

@@FireandWaterTravel yes - it’s $99/person & here is the description from the MSC app: Book now the butcher's Cut Steakhouse dining experience - Your own Chef... Your own Sommelier! The tailored feast prepared by the Chef, especially for your table will comprise: Shellfish platter to share one appetizer a dry-aged ribeye (20 oz.|570 gr to share) with sauces and sides selection 1 chocolate lava cake Seated facing the open and show kitchen, watch the Head Chef cook exclusively for your table, preparing a discovery selection from the Butcher’s Cut menu that’s served “family-style” from the middle of the table for a more sociable experience. Further enhancing your dining, the Sommelier will personally serve your table, telling you all about the New World wines served with your meal. The experience includes two glasses (per person) of New World wine (soft drinks and fruit juices for the little ones).

@@jdavid2003 although they call it the Chef's table, it does not sound anything closer to what you get on Carnival or RC..Carnival it is a 7 course meal with unlimited wine...

MSC does have a limited number of regular Balcony cabins that are also under the Aurea class..

yeah, i can only comment on the cruise I was on but we had very little issues. Ocean Cay speciality dining was not the best as far as service and food goes.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

only took us about 30 minutes... we were told to be in the "Brooklyn Lounge" by 8:30am.. We were off the boat by 9am. You can option for self-assist and get off earlier by taking your own bags..

they do regular debarkation when they take your bags by booking class and cabin numbers.. Yacht Club and Aurea class get released 1st..

it really depends on the category you want to bid on.. they will give you a minimum amount they will accept (ours was $300 total for an upgrade to an Aurea Balcony over a Fantastica Balcony) and the counter offer they gave us for the Premium Suite with Whirlpool was $450..

@@FireandWaterTravel was that per cabin

@@mskimmie316 yes... we only had one cabin.. they will break it down per 1st and 2nd passenger though, so $150 each = $300

Explain this iam goin next week on msc

@@dabullali5980 did you get an upgrade email? if you did, did you bid and was it accepted? if they accepted it you should be good to go, you may have to make sure if you were upgraded to a different class like Aurea from Fantastica that you check at the customer service desk to make sure they upgrade you on the ship.. We had to do that but it was easy..

both beaches are very similar because they are pretty much right next to each other

does not sound right to me.. You can go to customer service and request that you be sat together

actually it was better...

they are located on the buffet line, one on each side.. they are open during lunch time until like 5:30pm. They are kind of like on a corner, if you walk the entire buffet line you will see them.

Great food review!! We are sailing on the Seashore in February, and we purchased the same dining package. 😊

Our pleasure!
