Rare MarkusToe Posted September 9, 2021 Author #101 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Seaday on the way to BCN, formal night. Some shower to clean deck underway.... Way to hot within the sun. Main drawback of seaside class, nearly no shade, but with the cabanas on Seaview it's a bit better, if you are able to get one....,even on Aurea deck 19 are some 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, no GPS data in the uploaded pictures... any chance pointing out the beach on Google Maps? Your picture library on your phone should be able to do the trick.... sorry for asking, but I am soooo curious 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She made a lot of notes and promised to move this issue forward to headquarters and DE market leader. She said, if I'll smell smoke again, I've to call her directly and she will come imidiately, at any time. Our right hand neighbors moved smoking from Balkony to inside stateroom. Wife told me, as the door opens unbelievable smell was coming out....don't know if hefty smoker smell so much that in the end the total room stinks, without smoking inside this room..

Rare MarkusToe Posted September 9, 2021 Author #107 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Today as said formal. At YC close to normal, jeans, shirts. No fancy dresses seen. Outside total different pictures. Nearly everybody dressed very nicely. QR_W_YC_DINNER_DAY5_EN_1631211775.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terms & Conditions.... Violation of non-smoking rules will result in a US$250 deep cleaning fee and may lead to further action. Smoking in non-smoking areas can ultimately lead to disembarkation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MouseBerry Posted September 9, 2021 #109 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi Markus, thanks for posting the YC menu. Unfortunately it seems the YC menues are exactly the same in all YC ships and repeat every 7 days. Our YC elegant dinner menu today and tonight on Seaview is exactly the same as the Seashore one. On 4.9. we do our next YC cruise on Splendida and the menu very likely will be exactly the same again. Hopefully the quality will be better than on Seaview. This repetitive and fleetwide aligned menu with ignorance to local specialities is really disappointing. This is far from premium and luxury. MSC apparently really don‘t appreciate repeaters. cheers MouseBerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted September 9, 2021 #110 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Marcus ... Not sure if you mentioned the mini bar since boarding ? did you get just one large bottle of spirit or the usual small bottles ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted September 9, 2021 #111 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I believe all the mainstream lines have the $250.00 fee for smoking in the cabin plus possibly more problems. Well deserved, and I smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MarkusToe Posted September 10, 2021 Author #115 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Looks like Engine is running. Speed is increasing, 4kn, actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniPac Posted September 10, 2021 #116 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Don't break the ship Markus, I will board in exactly two weeks! 😁 Marine Traffic also showed she docked at about 8AM so I hope everything is okay. Speed was reduced at 4.30 AM from 16-17knots down to 2-3knots within 1 hour. Then speed increased to almost 22knots which is a good sign. Internet was fast because at this time, most people sleep so you have it all yourself 🙂 Edited September 10, 2021 by UniPac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MarkusToe Posted September 10, 2021 Author #117 Share Posted September 10, 2021 You are right.we arrived BCN about 15 min late... Was a strange experience, emergency lights within stateroom only, but music and full light in hallways. No further noise on ship....nothing....only very little fume and because no ship movement looks like fog around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause this could be an issue that can cause the power shutdown. Regarding music und full light: remember the Titanic? SCNR 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MarkusToe Posted September 10, 2021 Author #124 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Butchers..,.hmmm I've had the goat cheese cake, very good. To be honest, beef quality of filet is better on YC pool grill. There is a new pesto like souce, green, little bit spicy. I've had an the NY...not the best cut at all this time. One more comment on the butler. As we have 2 suites, we have 2 different butlers. Ours, I don't like to remember the name..... Everyday is something different missing. Today all towels in bathroom at downturn. Afternoon the Goody's, today some salmon .... The other, I've to make a picture of her to recommend. Friendly, perfect, helpful, even for us .... If I try to upload more than one picture connection is lost. Internet ist so poor....I believe ok now the reason...inside the MSC app not only text message can be shared, looks like picture and video works as well.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
