Hi

We thought it looked good as well despite going to Dubai and couple of times a year we have never been to Oman and it looks like a great place to cruise and in Jan the weather is always great in the Gulf

less smoke would be better for us currently Lirica is on the run for MSC vot sure about Costa

I was amazed on our recent Royal Princess Med cruise how casual some people where after 6.00 pm .I work in jeans and boots but if we are out after 6 we make an effort

Thanks

We like the look of the ports and with flights the cruise is not much more than we normally pay to fly only .

We can always go 5 star out our favourite Dubai hotel we are leaning towards MSC

Hi Steven

That was the original intent of the post ,we took our cruise ,it was not really us ,but if you "never go you never know" Will we go again unlikely unless we find someting really interesting and a ship with less than a 1000 people on board but thats travel you try new things and places and if it does not workout there are lots of other choices

All The Best

Hi All

We spend sometime in Dubai for work and are considering a 7 day cruise around the Arabian Gulf as an add on break.

Couple with an older teenage son we are looking for some feedback on the MSC vs Costa we tend to book higher end travel products so I suspect we will book to balconies with an all inclusive drinks / room service deal .

We are non smokers but not anti smoking fanatics but do hunt down non smoking areas as a rule .We speak no Italian other than basic pleasantries but we do not get fazed by this and love italian food and wine.

nice selection much better than my Royal Princess cruise

Hi

We recently did our first cruise and for a number of reasons it just did not "click" with us we really coud not get into the concept of getting of and on a ship with 3600 + people and having a daily lives dictated by the ships timetable and amenities.

Will we cruise again unlikely unless it is an itinery where we want to go and it has very few sea days.

I do not try to talk people out of cruising or run it down it just was not our style of travel and as they say "if you never go you never know"

All The Best

Hi my wife and I with older teenage son did Royal Princess in the Med for 12 days in a penthouse suite overall the ship and crew where pleasant and the shore days where fantastic.

I would however not do a cruise again on Princess it did not represent value for money as far as "something special" goes the ship was very sedate ( boring) both during the daytime and evenings everyone seemed to be in bed by 09.30

Hi ArnoMondo

I noticed you have sailed with Costa in the Arabian Gulf subjectively which would you choose MSC or Costa on this run

Kind Regaeds

Spot on this "sitting at the bar" objection seems to be an uniquely US thing on our recent Royal Princess cruise I was having a drink at the bar near the crown grill and my 15 year old son came to ask me a question about our next port stop ,I got him to situp and ordered him a coke .The next thing I know we are getting ticked of by the bar manager and asked to move along ( their loss I never came back)

All bars on cruise ships that I have seen are in our near a lounge so civil behaviour is required what difference does it make if you are at a bar or 4 feet away at a table trust me everyone is privay to your conversation

Thanks All

We did like the look of the forwaed deck 12 area does the gym below create much noise

Hi you will have noproblem disembarking in the morning and making your afternoon flight out of Venice .

Hi All

Whats the difference between a S2 and a S3 suite on the Lirica other than location.

Can anyone recomend a suite for Arabian Gulf Cruise and if we are a party of three should we book two suites ?

Kind Regards

Tony

Yes ban smoking would be mine wishlist item

Thank You

Not sure if we are game to give cruising another chance ( see other posts) but we are considering giving a Europeon line a go and like the look of the YC / MSC concept

Kind Regards

Tony

Hi We love the sea and have spent alot time on it just dont want to have to wait for 3600 other people to get on and off hence the failed test into cruising

Hi All

Can anyone recomend which YC2 cabins are the best to choose

Alas we are spoilt we live on an island I wake up to a sea view everyday

Hi

I do not RCCL is for us smaller rather than larger with some exotic port stops is more likely if we ever cruise again
