    I have been on three MSC Yacht Club cruises. I really enjoy them. Its the best way to cruise on the mass market ships. Unfortunately I cancelled all remaining cruises this year due to the virus (including two MSC Yacht Club ships). But, I will be back on the cruise circuit once this virus issue resolves. Excited to play and see that the Seaside and Divina both still had my "Dancing in Rio" slot game.

    The lamb chops were outstanding! We heard the ship did turn away a very large group from Italy but who knows how valid that statement was. It didn't seem empty by any means but staying in the Yacht Club, we didn't really get a good sense of how busy it was in the main areas since we had a private pool deck, restaurants and lounges. The main galleria was definitely very active, but not overcrowded.

    We are excited to try the Seaside in the future, especially since that one has more outdoor space compared to the Meraviglia. For as small as the casino was, it was never very busy.

    Lol. I watched the video from my YouTube feed first so wasn’t expecting the shout out. Glad the coyotes were landing for you. You’re really making me miss cruising. We had planned Alaska in the Bliss for August but who knows?? Can’t wait to see what happens next on your adventure.

    Yes the lamb chops were outstanding and we had them everyday on the open deck grill lunch. Seaside is overall BETTER then Meraviglia. Both are too crowded outside of yacht club, but Megavilia was uncomfortably crowded. Lately these new ships are just packing in too many people and will look for better options going forward.

    Who's ready for more TR?! It's something to read while trapped at home, lol!
    This ship had two different Cirque de Soleil shows (extra fee but cheap enough, $18pp and included a cocktail), not Cirque-like shows or other knock offs, the real thing! Can Adam stay awake long enough to enjoy it? If you've read our Vegas TRs, you know that Adam falls asleep in virtually every cirque show we've been to!
    The answer was a resounding YES! It helps that these shows were only about 45 minutes long - the perfect length of time! We saw SONOR first on our 3rd night and LOVED IT! Not knowing what to expect, it was a very acrobatic and high energy show with lots of surprises. Two huge thumbs up!
    The second show 3 nights later was Viaggio. This was a more artistic show with a very whimsical story line. I liked it, Adam thought it was ok. I think if we saw Viaggio first and then Sonar, he would have liked it much more but was expecting it to be like the other and it wasn't.
    Ports:
    Our first Stop was Costa Maya, we found out the day resort/beach we wanted to go to was booked (we found this out in Miami the day we boarded the ship). At first we were bummed, but then after being on the Yacht Club only deck the first day, we didn't mind hanging out there the entire day instead! We love an empty ship and spent the day in the sun! Also, we received a daily paper (I don't know if this is just YC or all guests but we were able to choose at check in so we chose the Wall Street Journal.) After day 4 they had issues with printing so only had it those days. I brought books to read, Bob Iger's "The Ride of a Lifetime" was AWESOME! As a huge Disney fan, it was fascinating to read about his experiences transforming the company.

    Our next port was Belize. This is where we booked a snorkeling and beach experience at Caye Caulker. We will share video of the snorkeling and Caye in our next video (as soon as I edit it, lol). Thoughts on Belize, it's a tender port, ugh. And the tender was about 25 minutes long (unheard of to us!), the water was rough, we would probably not go back for this reason alone. The excursion we booked was another 45 minute boat ride to the snorkel spot/Caye! What?!?! Thankfully, that SUPER LONG RIDE (not on a catamaran like we've had in Grand Cayman and Cozumel) felt like forever after the tender ride but brought us to calm waters. It was weird though, lots of other boats, and it was a guided snorkel (also a first and last for us as we like to explore on our own). Visibility was good and fish and coral abundant. Then we went to a place to swim with sharks and sting rays. That was neat and we got to touch the rays and they were everywhere! We have good underwater footage of this.
    The island after the snorkeling was beautiful! We had some local Belize beer (meh) and enjoyed the sights and sun before the ride back. Guides were great, but the experience was very different than those we've had and preferred previously.
    More to come...

    The reason we didn’t need to leave the pool deck!

    I had water with drinks too! Moderation hhh!


    Above was entrance to casino! Hhh! Joker!

    We got room service lunch one day after leaving the pool. Omg, this pizza was amazing!!!! As was the sandwich, turkey club with a fried egg!
