I have heard some things about the seaside that people who have traveled on her just don’t like. OTOH, they all raves about most parts of Symphony. Since you listed ports though, it may not be the right choice as you get on her for the ship, not the destinations. What do you two both like to do together?
 
also, did you ask on the MSC board?

I didn’t ask on MSC. I think hers was really a one off which has turned her view.

We hang out mostly, it’s complicated by that I moved to Canada 8 years ago and see her less. I’d prob want to see most I can of ports with her- places I couldn’t get to on previous trips with my husband and kids. My husband was hurt on our first sailing -dislocated shoulder- and we stayed on ship most our second.

I share the want for ports_ but I also like to be entertained.

Thanks everyone so far.
I know they are miles apart. :(

I prefer something like symphony for time on ship but do want ports and my cousin is a port is reason she cruises person. I feel very in between. One will be less for one of us.

Thanks again. It has helped. I think msc while I want to sail her, is better for a family trip.
It’s empress or symphony now.

Im planning a cruise with my cousin just the two of us. I need a trip that’s away without my family, this will be my first in my entire life.

We had arrived at the empress, cost and time were factors.

While waiting to get approved the time off I ran across MSC seaside having a sailing the same time.

I’ve only been on NCL getaway and breakaway.

We aren’t getting a drink pkg but I plan to drink more than my cousin so prices are less on msc.

I like shoes and she’s indifferent. Didn’t do one on her last cruise.

I have some room, I am paying most the cruise price, to maybe upgrade to symphony. It has perfect day and I really liked the msc marine reserve stop.

 

I like empresses stops best- outside of the private stops- as there is not one. TortoLa San Juan puerto play and charolette amalie

My cousin doesn’t like idea of msc but would if I insisted. Puerto plata, San Juan, charolette Amalie and their reserve.

Symphony only stops at 2 ports San Juan, charolette Amalie and perfect day.

 

Price of empress and msc are similar. Within $100 i say. I also come from Canada so exchange for items on ship does matter for me. But not at the expense of picking a wrong ship. She witnessed several years ago while on a different ship and in dock- msc full of some behaviour we wouldn’t want to be a part of but it sounds like this may be mostly over.

 

Opinions? Things to consider?

Thanks!

On Breakaway as well, no real options though no one asked for other items. You could chose your steak doneness.

Our kids had food off standard kids menu.

Food was ok. Small portions and ours was cold. I got one broccoli and two potato wedges. Had to salt my beef.

You really do pay for the show.

We just got off her on Sunday, we did experience some vibrations in GC but mostly late a night durning the late night snacks. I also as a PP said, feel speed had something to do with it. We were very forward this sailing for our stateroom 9 fwd lg balcony vs 10 mid reg balcony previously and we felt lots of motion. I think the waters were more active too perhaps?

We saw little of our stewaRd and would have liked the bunks to have been brought up each day but other than that nothing was lacking.

What’s 48hrs out to them? Like from sail time? Morning of the 2 days before sailing? We sail Sunday but are headed out in the AM. I was hoping to see before we left.

I had this happen after I booked a shore excursion and obc. I hope it’s an upgrade for you though.

Thanks guys, enjoy your sailing Letsgo - my kids would love your name they sing the song around the house in the days and weeks leading up to our trips haha.

Sorry to say, but I just heard they are not on board now, probably will not be until Nov .

 

 

 

Oh no!! Sniff!

Do you know did they replace it with something else programming wise- that time slot, I mean.

If anyone who got them, could help and post them that would be LOOOVELLLY I'm sure others would love it too :) Myself included

Wow, sorry OP - there is a lot of people not seeing the fun tone in your post, at least that's how I read it.

My then 8 year olds love Splash, we put them there every night and they happily went and were upset when we took them away. They missed some of the prep time for the show that is done at the end of the week and they were upset - because they didn't get to learn the cooler aspects of the show. They are 10 now and sailing Sunday. My son asked to have a night with mom & dad, but my daughter still wishes they had overnights there. \We didn't spend a dime in the arcade. We spent the days with the kids doing excursions or in port (we had a port heavy trip) but nights were for hubby & I.

Can you order this on the ship? I'm currently adding it to our basket but figured it would show and then DH would see. :(

I'm disappointed it's offered just once, and NOT during a time when Splash Academy is open. Meaning I can't attend.

Would love to know more about this excursion as well. My son is ALL about Space but I am worried it'll be a dud!

Opposite end of the question, if you can walk off with all your (or not even if someone knows the answer) things- what is the latest you can get off the ship if your in no rush?

Nothing yet- going to see if I can answer your question Jamie.

I saw it in a mid March daily. It's been hard to find dailies for this itinerary (or so I found). The person sailed over St Patricks Day. I searched up Magic & Mayhem and found via FB the group was in July saying they were coming to the Breakaway but nothing more since.

 

I should prob just let go of my need to try to plan things lol

Looking at some dailies from earlier this year for our sailing- and it has entertainment of Magic & Mayhem.

Anyone on recently and know if this still is going on?

Thanks!

What sailing are you on?

Breakaway

Checking in again. Now all the haven show sold out or not avail (not available ones our guests exceed limit). I checked to see what rooms were left and our category )large balcony has been sold out for ages. I see upgrades from my sailing group coming from room types where there were still open rooms... thinking this has much more to do with it and not something I'd thought about.

 

So- has anyone in a b6 gotten an upgrade accepted?

Thanks everyone! We have bid on a suite but otherwise will be with the commoners It seems.
