I will be gutted if we miss Bruge next week, thank you for posting all this great information, hope it doesn’t spoil your enjoyment.

Hi, our New York to Southampton on QM2 sailing 25th October 2024 has a red and gold evening then a masquerade ball

Sorry I don’t know if they had GF beer, they had cider and once I was charged so make sure every time you order it’s included in the drinks package if you have one

At the buffet ask any chef and they will let you know what you can eat. I would take cereal with you I can’t remember what they gave me as I only asked once and I didn’t enjoy it. In the afternoon they have sandwiches cake and biscuits which I had if we were back in time. You will have plenty of choice, Janice 

Hello, yes the same table and the same guests every night, however if you feel that you don’t get along with them ask the maitre D to give you a different table. I’m coeliac and I had lots of choice, each evening they give you the menu for the following evening, you let them know what you want to eat the next night. Have a great cruise.

we have always had 2 elegant nights per 7 night cruises in the Mediterranean, I wear long dresses and don’t feel out of place my husband wears his dinner suite.

Wow I have just checked the price of the drinks package on our 12 night cruise it was over £1970 for 2 adults needles to say we didn’t purchase

Thankyou boogybaby

yes we love just watching the wake as well , just been onto them and the cabin has gone so we have booked a junior suite as there is limited availability because they have just dropped their prices again . 

Have a great time

Hi not with Ambassador but the aft is our favourite location for a cabin, sitting on the balcony watching the wake is bliss and they are often larger with loungers

Hi, we love the Aqua cabins because you dine in Blu, the food has always been delicious much better than our experience on Azamara.

We love dressing for formal nights and my husband wears a jacket most evenings it’s just his preference 

My husband always wears his tux, there were quite a few last year on Silhouette 

Correct

Hi, they will change to local time if it’s different to Rome time, have a great time

Hi, we were onboard October 2022 in cabin 7172 we definitely heard the band playing in safari but it did stop at midnight.

Hello, deck 7 aft you can hear the band playing in the safari club. I would book it again if a higher floor wasn’t available.

Hi, we are flying sky west from Seattle to Vancouver so it must operate in reverse could this be an option for you, Janice

I'm glad I'm not the only person with difficulties packing light.  Each cruise, I tell myself I'll pack lighter and then neglect to do so.  We're doing a winter, northern Europe cruise soon that will require multiple hours of train travel and taxis, so I think we'll have to force ourselves to pack lighter.

In terms of YC, I have mixed feelings.  Haven't done it yet.  I do have a bid on a YC cabin on the aforementioned winter sailing, but is it really worth double what I paid for my Fantastica balcony cabin?  Many here tell me yes.  While my bid remains active, I still have my doubts.

We are doing the Northern Europe on Euribia December 23, the last time we did these destinations it was snowing but beautiful we visited Xmas markets drank mulled wine. We have happy memories of hot chocolate in Bruges. I’m hoping it’s as good this time. 
we have cruised in a fantastica balcony twice and enjoyed it but YC totally spoilt us hence booking an inside. Janice

I didn't take any pics of the closet (translation: wardrobe), as there's usually enough space for me as a solo, even when I pack too much!  From memory one third/half of the wardrobe is a mix of shelves and drawers (with the small safe taking up some of one shelf).  Remainder is hanging space, not completely full height though - my longer dresses didn't hang freely but hit the bottom.  Small shallow shelf at the top and small shelf at the bottom (presumably for shoes).  There's a set of drawers in the desk area (shown on the photo of the room above).  Small night stands on either side of the bed have very small open shelf type thing.  Suitcases fitted easily under the bed (even my large one).  I managed to fully unpack, a large suitcase, a medium suitcase and a rollaboard size case, into the drawers and closet ... if that helps!  Electronics and general "at hand" stuff lived on the top of the desk.  There's not a lot of storage in the bathroom ... see 2 small shelves shown in the photo above.  The cupboard area under the sink, is taken up mostly by the garbage can, so hard to store things in there.  I bring a whole bunch of pretty heavy duty magnetic hooks (from Amazon) which can attach to the walls or ceiling - I use these for hats, light coats, bags.  When attached to the ceiling I use them to hang damp clothing to dry or air out clothes for re-wearing.  

Hello,

thank you for your advice I will look into magnets as I will have 7 long dresses with jackets for the evening and my husband will have his dinner suit a jacket 3 pairs of trousers and 7 shirts, and that’s before we pack the day clothes!. We sailed yacht club last February but we had a balcony and there was lots of storage unfortunately it’s too expensive this time. We really enjoyed the experience. Thanks again Janice 

thank you for your review, we have booked Yin on Euribia, how big is the wardrobe? Like you we are not light packers, Janice

We are doing the Article Circle cruise on Jewel this July. Did you enjoy it?  Any tips?

Hello, we did this cruise last June it was fantastic, we had great weather the only time we had warm clothes was going to the north cape and up the mountain in Tromso. Most of the time it was shorts and t shirts. You will have a great time

Hello,

 

I can't say I'm the first to book on MSC's new Euribia, but I'm the first to try and start a Roll Call but CC doesn't have it listed in the fleet yet.

 

Regards,

 

Cublet

We have booked for December 2023, looking forward to it

I always have a different outfit for each evening it’s what I enjoy about cruising an opportunity to wear all the items in the wardrobe and my husband is the same. Everyone should do what suits them

We are cruising on October 7 sailing out of Barcelona.  Can we still bring 12 soda and 6 waters onboard same as departures from the US Ports?  Did not find any mention in our recently issued cruise documents.

Hi, are you on Jewel sailing on 7th October because if you are the ship is sailing from Tarragona, I would hate you to miss the ship

We are diamond with royal and loyalty matched to MSC and received their top level diamond. There are good discounts on many sailings if you look at the loyalty section. We have enjoyed 3 MSC cruises, 1 in yacht club which was fantastic but the cruises with a balcony were also good
