Oh. I’m not sure the Magnifica had that. They did have a members only pool deck with a spa etc but the only buffet was open to anymore. They had other restaurants as well but only a few did you have to pay for and anyone could go.

If I can find it I’ll definitely post! What’s the Yacht Club? Is that the fancy pool/spa area? I went to there once to watch the sunrise. Didn’t seem too special. Just less crowded than the main pools.

Our first cruise was great. I’m surprised how good the food was. I ate nonstop at times. Ocean Cay was wonderful but Nassau I wouldn’t recommend. The US Embassy currently has a travel advisory there right now. 18 murders in January alone. The beaches are dirty. We did do a city tour that was okay. Went to the Queens Staircase and stopped by a lot of rum factories but we don’t drink. I would 100% cruise with MSC again though! Looking forward to booking our next one.

I have a friend who does 5-6 cruises a year and seeing all his post on Facebook is what got me interested 😊

Driving there and flying back. Have a friend in Key West who needs her car back and it’s in Miami. The last time we drove to Key West it was 2 hours 30 minutes though. We went late at night with very little traffic and were able to maintain 80 a majority of the way. We’ll do the same this time.

No questions, just wanted to introduce myself. Sorry if this isn’t the forum for that.

We booked our first cruise recently and it’s coming up in 3+ weeks. We’re going on a 5 day/4 night cruise of the Bahamas aboard the MSC Magnifica out of Miami. Can’t wait! We’re flying into Miami 2 days before the cruise and spending a day in Everglades NP before we depart. We also fly out 2 days after the cruise ends and spending a day in Key West before we fly home. We were looking at longer cruises but wanted to test the waters and see how we liked it before committing to anything longer. A little about us! I’m 28 and my sister, the one accompanying me, is 23. We’ve visited all contiguous 48 states and just recently started exploring internationally with a month long trip to New Zealand and Australia in 2023. We’re originally from Wisconsin but she lives near Seattle and I’m outside of Knoxville. 1/27 Flights to Miami from Knoxville and Seattle 1/28 Everglades NP 1/29 Embarkation 1/30 Ocean Cay 1/31 Day at sea 2/1 Nassau 2/2 Debarkation 2/3 Key West 2/4 Flights to Knoxville and Seattle from Miami
