Interesting.  My understanding was that one could only do the match once.  Have they changed that?  Maybe I'll have Frank look into it for me.  I did always love the entertainment in the lounge and that lounge definitely has the Retreat Lounge beat.  And I do love their private island.  I must admit those chocolate ships were a bit over the top.  Beth brought me a bottle of prosecco from her last cruise with them.  Just wish they had more interesting itineraries.  Maybe one day I'll get over my hate for the Miami freeways.  😃

You could always Uber over! Yes, the itineraries are old, but we don't get off the ship until the Marine Sanctuary. Do you have status with another line that you could use?

Kathy, my problem with MSC Yacht Club is that the price has increased a great deal, I've lost my diamond status due to not cruising with them for 3 years, and I absolutely hate driving to Miami!  For you, I realize that's not an issue.  I did enjoy their private island.

Yes, the price has gone up, but the food has gotten better, and we had great entertainment in the lounge in Feb.. It is a better deal than X, that's for sure.

As far as Diamond, just reapply with your X status. Oh, and you still get chocolate, but it is no longer a ship :(. 

We tried VV twice. It was interesting, but we are over it. The food is the same every day. I can't imagine a long cruise with the same food every day. The food was better than Luminea.

Virgin was definitely different!

Why not just empty them into a plastic container? That way there is no problem with breakage.

Dunno as they have stopped sending me the emails.

Me too! Are they just ignoring the past guests? After all, we know what they are doing with pricing and the fact that X is just not that attractive anymore. 

You'll find us in MSC Yacht Club, but that is going up, too. At least they offer something for the higher price.

I tried calling today after getting an email for a cruise deal that is the exact same experience, room, deck etc losing a $640 difference after booking just a week ago. 😒  They said they do not offer price match or on board credit.  

I would call and speak with someone else.

I googled how much Celebrity Captains make out of curiosity. Captain Kate came up. It gave a range plus mentioned her earrings from social media. 
Doesn’t really say how much but I am sure it is worth her effort and self promotion.  
 

She is no dummy.

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
 

 

Since Bug is hairless, he needs to be kept warm, hence the clothes. The ship, especially the bridge, is pretty chilly. I think what she does is adorable.

Sorry guys.  Didn't mean to post this here on this thread.  That's what I get for posting at 2AM.  My Bad

No problem!

In case you haven't read this post, it is the same trip, but from February.

referring to the white space next to the bed where it can be converted into a couch or maybe a third bed (?)

 

i now know there is storage space in there.

Thanks, I did not know that! We will be on the Scarlet Lady on April 15th.

Excellent review! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! 2 things I noted in your break down: on keeping the water chilled, the carafes do fit in the refrigerator in the room so if you don't want to be adding ice all the time, you can keep one or both carafes in the fridge! And second there are power/USB outlets on both sides of the bed. On the side that has the big white thing, they are on the wall all the way past the big white thing, behind the chair. ☺️

 

Again, thanks for sharing your voyage! I love that itinerary, even though I too, wish it were longer!

What is the big white thing?

Are we the only ones on this cruise?

Just off a 7 day Ascent cruise in a Sky Suite and will be sailing on the Beyond in February 2025.  While many things may change, this is an excellent review.  Thanks for taking us along. 😀

Which date in Feb?

I have seen the occasional savings of tables in the Oceanview, more for people playing cards or dominoes as opposed to eating.

I have seen, and have been guilty of, placing my bag, drink, and book on a table in OceanView and going to get my food. Is that considered "hogging"? I really don't want to carry stuff while in line.

Thanks for taking us along! We'll be on Beyond next February with our daughter and son in law for the ABC Islands, Cartagena and partial Panama Canal. Can't wait!

Is this Feb 3rd? If so, we are on that one with some Canadian friends.

For August 2023 we paid about $2,100 for a sea terrace, we booked 5 months in advance.

Was it a regular Sea Terrace or Central?

I am trying to get an idea of what the Key West cruise cost last August/Sept for cruises that sailed then.

I am looking at a four night Fire and Sunset in August or September. 
Does anyone have an idea of what they paid for a Center Sea Terrace last August or Sept? 

I am trying to figure out what is a good price.

Or order room service. The pizza is great!

The Carne Asada was wonderful. I ordered the lobster roll but a bite of DH's Carne Asada sold me!

We just got off Seascape. While the Butler was taking us to Yacht Club she stopped by deck 7 so they could swipe our cards. We still had to watch the video and call into 811. 

We got on a little after 12:00.

We got off on Saturday. Great trip if you don't mind some rain.

@Ryan82 Just posted a topic on this but thought you might be able to answer if you see this, what terminal should we book our Uber to for Seascape?

 

Hope you had a great cruise and safe trip home.

Terminal C

If you have purchased the Dining Experience package, you are entitled to 3 dishes of your choice from Dining Experience menu. You may replace a dish from the Dining Experience menu with one from the à la carte menu for 50% of the listed price. You can also order any additional dish at full price.

So this statement is not true?

You don't get it half-price, it is excluded from that part of the dining experience.

 

From memory the T-bone is also excluded....

But you can get the other steaks at half price or the Seafood App?

I must have missed that fine print.
