Looking forward to meeting up with you. We are looking forward to an elegant ship experience. The days of slides and race cars are long gone. We usually have 2 MSC cruises booked but so far none. Trying Virgin over Thanksgiving since it is adults only. Tempted to book the week before but it means a 1 way flight to Barbados. I believe they got cocky with their price increases and found out the market can only handle certain pricing. Good for us with this new promotion. Maybe it will be a permanent benefit for Diamond MSC members. Probably wishful thinking but one never knows.

I believe it is a smart move on their part to get YC guests to try the line and abandon the YC for some local cruises from the So. FL area. Our January YC cruise was missing something. Not as good as several prior experiences. The price now for the entry cat. cabin is $9400 less 25% = $7050. 10 nts. Dec. 13. How does this compare to the entry pricing before all of the increases? The agents need to wait until Geneva is working to get the final reduced number and have the VC number applied. P.s. I see you live in our area of the state. Great for cruising! Thank you for the link. Very informative.

Here is the wording under Terms and Conditions....I was told had to be booked within that March window. I don't doubt that prices were raised to offset this offer. ELIGIBLE GUESTS All Diamond Tier Members who, as of March 3rd 2023 until March 31st 2023 , have made a confirmed booking with Explora Journeys and whose Diamond Tier membership number has been validated. BENEFITS OF THE PROMOTION Diamond Tier Members shall receive 25% savings on their journey booking with Explora Journeys. This promotion applies only to 2023 Journeys and it applies to the journey fare only. I asked what the breakdown was for cruise and taxes and was told by Explora ambassador it is not broken out just one price. Curious how many will take advantage of this offer.

Good afternoon from the Explora board. What date are you booked on? Looking at 12/13. 10 night. Ship and experiences look amazing. May have to do a few of these when the ship is in the Caribbean. YC when they are not here.

Hope they keep eyes out for the interlopers! Looking forward to your April trip. Have a great March and dealing with our unseasonably hot weather down here in So. Florida.

Thank you for your reply. You are right about the bus.

Can you expand what they did for the Azamazing evening in St. Martin? TYIA

Following your adventures.

Thank you. 🥂

What are the minimums on the roulette table?

How many bottles do they allow you to bring on?

YES!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🥂🥂🍾 See you all onboard.

Let's keep positive here! 👍🥂🍾 I am ready.

As the song goes...our bags are packed we're ready to go.... Please keep us posted when you hear something. Thanks. Thank you. Wish the number was lower but will be happy to just be on board. 🥂

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

Getting on 1/22. Hope it is a go. Can you find out how many passengers are getting on Sunday? TYIA

Which ship?

You are all good for a laugh! Wish us luck with the "clientele " on board the end of the month. Hopefully these holiday cruises are a one off for yahoos! Ugh!

Hope they know what a "yahoo" is! There is the internet to find out. 🙂🥂

From your posts I don't believe this for one moment. 🙂

Have a safe trip home. Where will your next live thread be from?

I sound like a parrot but there needs to be consequences for those who do not follow the rules. I know, it's all about the money. Loyalty to the money needs to be tempered with keeping people in line. There needs to be a happy compromise.

Thank you for your thoughts. I would like to hear from @mcrcruiser the original poster. 🙂

I am confused by the title of this thread. What cut backs are you specifically referring to?

Management needs to educate this group onboard on what is and is not acceptable behavior. Sorry you need to put up with this behavior. All cruise lines Management need to take control and not let passengers control the situation. Are they really looking for this type of client to book the YC? Don't be afraid of loosing a client. There are many out there who have the class the YC deserves. Let's see how long it takes for someone to flame me. 🙂
