Could you please tell me how you know the speed of the ship??   I will be on the ship tomorrow and that kind of info would be helpful given the circumstances.  Thanks again.

Thank you. Wish the number was lower but will be happy to just be on board. 🥂

It has a capacity of 5877 so not upset about the number. But totally agree, will be happy to just get on board!

We might have to rent a canoe lol. Sounds like we might travel faster than the Seascape at this point lol. 

Trying not to stress. Figure we won’t hear anything until morning at the soonest. Truthfully, I would be fine just spending the week at ocean kay. I just want to get away and have some sun.

I’m supposed to on the 22nd.

In the Yacht Club they are. I am sorry I’m not sure about the rest of the ship. 
 

I had a lovely afternoon tea on Seascape 🤤 

sorry about that! Meant to add Yacht club. Didn't see it on the dailies so wasn't sure. Looking forward to that!

Are they doing afternoon teas?

Thanks, it did. I love collecting small rocks when I travel.

Did they let you keep the sea glass?

Yacht Club priority starts at the white tent outside of the cruise terminal. Luggage drop-off, escorted to check-in and escorted onto the ship. The process is usually quick and smooth.

 

Aurea had no priority line before security check inside the terminal at Port of Miami (Dec. 2021).  Waiting time was 1+ hour in line with normal passengers. Priority check-in after security. 

 

Yacht Club is quicker and more convenient when it comes to Embarking and Disembarking.

Thanks that helps

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.

Trying to decide between yacht club and aurea.  Main concern is boarding and disembarking. With a normal passenger count, how fast is aurea to do both? I have heard that it can take 2 or more hours in the other groups.
