Aurea has separate dining room. We sailed on MSC Seashore in December 2021 and 5th Avenue Restaurant was reserved for Aurea passengers. We showed up at any time during opening hours. I have seen videos online with Manhattan Restaurant reserved for Aurea passengers. Both restaurants are smaller and feel “cozy” with multiple table configurations to choose from .. 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 guests. PS: We usually sail in Yacht Club but opted for Aurea because we booked last minute. Aurea didn’t disappoint.. good product for the price considering the perks included.

Aurea Experience includes all Aurea perks as listed on MSC Cruises USA website. Link to comparison chart of Experiences and screenshot of Aurea Experience have been posted in your thread. Yes, you have access to Aurea Thermal area, you get robes and slippers, dining room for Aurea passengers, Solarium deck for Aurea passengers .. and some more perks.

-> Aurea Experience: • Access to thermal area (adults only)

The information is copy/paste from MSC Cruises USA website -> $/€ 13

Included in Yacht Club Experience: Premium Extra Drink Package (includes all drinks up to $/€ 13 on all ships)

Parking across from Cruise Terminal E in Port of Miami is Lot E , outside parking.. no cover.. We parked in garage and used a shuttle bus to the ship / cruise terminal.

The OP didn’t mention the cruise ship MSC World America in the thread. He is probably referring to MSC Cruises USA (MSC America -> USA) while comparing cruise lines.

MSC Euribia is in Barcelona on 11-04-2023

We purchased a acrylic glass print (framed) from YellowKorner gallery during a caribbean cruise on MSC Seashore in 07/2022. No auction.. retail price (discounted) and shipping from France to America within 2 weeks. Smooth purchase and a beautiful picture hanging in my home office.

Passengers can embark/disembark at every port of call (except La Spezia) on your loop itinerary. There is a chance that no YC cabins are available for embarkation in Barcelona on 11-04-2023 but YC cabins are available in Genoa on 11-06-2023. MSC offers no promotion on these dates, you may get OBC through your TA.

I am currently on MSC Grandiosa.. 7-Night Mediterranean. All crew members are wearing mask.. except singers & performers in shows.

With all respect but I don’t understand the conclusion you are trying to imply. We live in a world of infectious diseases being part of our life.. we always have.. Chicken-pox, Measles, Shingles, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2, Monkey Pox, HIV, and many more. We travel by plane, rental car, cruise ship and public transportation (metro, bus). How would you feel, personally, staying in a cabin that was just vacated by a passenger with undiagnosed infectious disease ? Question: When did you started wearing face mask and latex gloves ? Infectious diseases were always around (except SARS-CoV-2 since 2019).

Unfortunately that’s correct. The outer islands Sanibel, Captiva, Fort Myers Beach and Pine Island have catastrophic damages due to flooding and high winds. Sanibel Causeway is damaged in 4 locations, no way to get to or from the island except by boat or air (helicopter). Rescue crews are working hard to get everybody from the island. Marco Island, Naples, Fort Myers and Cape Coral have heavy flooding. Most parts of coastal counties (Collier, Lee, Charlotte) are without power and water. I didn’t lose power and internet.. but have no water (city water) since this morning. No damage to the house. Flights, hotel and MSC cruise booked.. leaving Sunday for Spain.. I have mixed feelings about the trip..

Like with many things in life there is a big difference between men’s dress shorts and men’s adventure/sport shorts. Passengers wearing the same shorts all day.. on the beach.. on the pool deck.. and in the dining room are not my idea of appropriate dress code for the dining room.. especially when these passengers wear flip-flops and take them off while having dinner.. I guess I am old-school but dressing accordingly when dress code is expected .. is my way of showing respect to fellow passengers.

All restaurants (including speciality restaurants) on MSC Meraviglia are listed on MSC website. Link: https://www.msccruisesusa.com/cruise/ships/msc-meraviglia • HOLA! Tapas Bar • Ocean Cay • Butcher’s Cut • Kaito Teppanyaki • Kaito Sushi Bar

Stateroom 10202 on Meraviglia is Balcony Aurea category and comes with all perks of Aurea Experience. Enjoy My Choice Dining in dedicated dining room, Thermal Spa and Top Solarium Sun Deck access.

You are right, SARS-CoV-2 STAT tests are not necessary for a cruise.. but sometimes requested by patients due to the fact that the 2-3 day PCR test wasn’t resulted in time. STAT tests are designed for diagnostic purposes when time is of the essence. Example: Patient flying from USA to Japan. PCR test done at a pharmacy wasn’t resulted in time. Patient is traveling the same day.. STAT test would get him on the plane.. Commonly seen prices for Covid Lab tests in the U.S. : • Antigen ~ under $100 • SARS-Cov-2 ~ $100-150 • SARS-Cov-2 STAT ~ $200+ (Prices may vary)

Do you have any insider knowledge of medical billing ? If YES , then you would know that Medicare and Medicaid have standardized reimbursements.. and private insurances usually adapt the fee tables. Physicians can bill for office visit, examinations and consultation. They can not bill administrative fees.

How can you justify if the price is high or low if the OP didn’t specify the type of COVID-19 test ? • Antigen Test (Rapid Test, screening only) • SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Test (diagnostic) -> 2 to 3 days turnaround time • SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Test (diagnostic) STAT 30 minutes turnaround

~~~~~~~~ * Off-topic * ~~~~~~~~ Correct.. but the most widely spoken language in Switzerland is Schwyzerdütsch (Schweizerdeutsch .. Swiss/German). Swiss/German is a collection of Alemannic dialects no longer spoken in Germany and Austria. Germans usually don’t understand Schwyzerdeutsch.. English: Cat German: Katze Schwyzerdütsch: Büsi , s English: Shopping Cart (for supermarket) German: Einkaufswagen Schwyzerdütsch: Poschtiwägeli , s English: That smells funny. German: Das riecht komisch. Schwyzerdütsch: Da schmöckt gschpässig. 3 other dialects are spoken in parts of Switzerland.. Swiss French, Swiss Italian and Romansh.

Shippy “ I think this discussion should be over..yuk,yuk the sandy beach really does not exist. “ No reason to post a sarcastic message.. mocking forum users who try to help identifying the beach you are not able to locate on a map. • You never posted a photo of the beach. • You never posted a map with marked location. I guess you went to Bimini Beach. Maybe MSC is using part of (public) Bimini Beach for YC guest now.. I don’t know. Fact is that you generalize your initial statement “I had read so much about how rocky the beach was on Ocean Cay“ to all beaches on Ocean Cay. Forum threads about the rocky beach are describing the condition of Ocean House Beach (YC Beach). Ocean House Beach is next to Ocean House Restaurant (YC) .. just to the right of the main building. No need to walk 5 minutes to another beach. There are many other public beaches on Ocean Cay with no rocks.

Maybe the area you are describing is Bimini Beach.. a public beach.. not exclusively for YC guests. Ocean House is the Yacht Club Restaurant on Ocean Cay. Ocean House Beach is the Yacht Club Beach on Ocean Cay.

There is no beach or ocean access on the other side (left side) of Ocean House.. only big boulders..

Left side of Ocean House Beach (YC beach) Right side of Ocean House Beach (YC beach) Crushed corals, shells and stones.. not easy to walk on.. beach shoes recommended. ( Photos taken on 12-24-2021 )
