Rare Beamafar Posted October 22, 2019 Author #102 Share Posted October 22, 2019 For the first time ever in YC: I have to say (again!) just how fantastic the crew are. We have a wonderful, very friendly and attentive butler, too, so everything on that front is great. We know the concierge, Luciano, from last year's Splendida crossing Dubai-Japan. He and the other daytime concierge (whose name I don't know, yet) are very approachable and helpful. Another beautiful, sunny morning as we approach the pier in Halifax. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLA57 Posted October 22, 2019 #104 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Beamafar, I have a question regarding the room you're in. Is there a place to plug in a Cpap machine by the bed? Thank you for all your posts of the Yacht club. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extension lead won't be a problem in an inside cabin, but in the balcony cabins, @nednrom the sockets are on the opposite wall to the one the bed is on so the lead will be across the floor when being used.

Rare Beamafar Posted October 22, 2019 Author #108 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) So .... I've got a little more information on the subject. The concierge will supply the extension cord, but it only has a European plug, so you need an adaptor if you have an American plug. Also the sockets are not all located in the same places in all the cabins as there are different configurations Edited October 22, 2019 by Beamafar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted October 22, 2019 Author #113 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Anyway... back on topic - here is today's lunch menu We always love the samosas and I ended up having 2 helpings, they were sooooo good.

I've had it before and probably have a pic of it somewhere. I do have great intentions of overwriting what each dish is on the photo but it doesn't always go according to plan. 🙄 Edited October 22, 2019 by Beamafar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2float Posted October 22, 2019 #119 Share Posted October 22, 2019 What will they think when they see little me ordering 2 starters and 2 entrees? I can't wait to try it all! Loving the pics and info. 🤗 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the pics and info. 🤗 Portion sizes are small on MSC (so I found) and dinner is my major meal of the day so I order 2 starters and 2 entrees or double meat on 1 entree during most dinners! I rarely get any thoughts other than, feed this man... he needs a sandwich or something! lol (I have a hollow leg to store all of the food!)

We normally order a a starter each and one to share and same with mains. Although as this next cruise is 13 nights I might try and watch the calories or I’ll need a crane to hoist me off the ship in Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
