symphony of the seas popping the cruise cherry!!

I heard the Oasis is getting a great refurbishment I went on her when she first sailed and loved it and now its got more cool stuff. I'm leaving Friday for a 7 day on the MSC Seaside that Chris just went on. I snagged a Yacht Club suite when they had a no single supplement error last year! I've never done a ship within a ship experience before but this was a steal as it includes premium drinks the thermal spa and private pool sundeck lounge and dining...I've also got NCL Breakaway in Feb and a 10 day Crown Princess cruise in March! NCL & Princess were both free inside from land based casinos and I paid to upgrade to balcony...I agree with you on the points you made above

Damn that sounds amazing and looking forward to it hopefully you can share some pictures of the ship and your experience.

How much was the up charge from the interior room to the balcony? Iron Day free interior room on this last crew so hopefully it's only $500 or less total to upgrade to balcony

@dvandentop and Amy, SOoo happy you loved cruising (also, Adam says “I told you so!”) hhh!
This report was epic! Thank you for taking the time to update us on everything and the fun you two shared was evident in the posts! These huge ships really are a city in the ocean and that’s what we love about it, so much to do and see and we love exploring different islands too!
Also had to laugh at your exploring airport terminals for hours, that’s what we did in Puerto Rico when we had an afternoon flight home after our cruise, lol. At least there were huge duty free stores to “shop” in there, lol.

The only thing I am sad about it that we didn't Cruise the many years ago we have been talking about it been missing out on so many good vacations I feel like now!

No problem it was fun to take everybody along on the adventure.


The one we are looking at includes a stop at Royal Caribbean's place in Haiti and then stop in Jamaica and then Cozumel.

I checked out some excursions at each place and they all look like they have something fun to do

Labadee, Haiti was amazing.Royal Caribbean and Celebrity both dock jn the same area (both owned by same parent company) and we loved the beach and water there on our Celebrity Cruise.
And look into doing the cooking class/beach day in Cozumel! It was beyond fun!

Royal is pretty reasonable to upgrade to balcony on my 5 day to Bermuda it was only a little more than 100... probably depends on date and itinerary but generally they are the cheapest I have found

@Cyndyga, have an amazing trip! We’re looking at Yacht club for our free MSC cruise from Mohegan since upgrade to that is small. Can’t wait to hear about your experience, hope you share your thoughts on their ship in a ship experience. We’re looking specifically at seaside also.

Will do! I'm on a bunch of fb groups and everyone raves about it and says its the way to go... if you can upgrade for a reasonable price it would probably be a steal! I haven't gone yet but have already booked another with a travel agent and her group cruise!
