Great video. I appreciate you sharing this vital information so that there are no unrealistic expectations on my trip. You had such a good attitude and creating wonderful content.
thank you so much, we just got back from Ocean Cay yesterday, I will be putting out a food truck review soon from there and many port stops including Panama and Honduras
I'm going in February. I'll be eating a full breakfast in the dining room before going into the island to make sure I can avoid wasting too much of my day in any insane line that I just witnessed. If I absolutely am too hungry to wait for dinner, will get something at the food truck with a line of less than 10 minutes or go back to the ship for lunch and break from the sun.
Hi... Was there waiters around the pool areas to bring drinks to you on your sunbed? I'm noticing on vloggs, that people say there isn't. But they seem to be on the 3 to 4 days cruises and not 7 or more. Do you remember if there was service around the pools on yours ? Thanks ☺️ I'm referring to None yacht club
our trip was a totally full ship over the holiday and there were only 2 inside cabins unoccupied so the staff was stretched to the max, it may be the case when the boat is not full, full. I'm sure it was the case when the ships were half capacity or less in 2021 , thanks for the comment Stephanie
it was just people from the ship on the island, we saw security cameras on the light poles, and only had our snorkel gear and sun hats and towels in our bags so if they did get swiped there is a good chance we would have got them back but who knows, if you watch again you will see the girls dad holding a plate thinking about jumping in then when they saw me vlogging they bailed, lol
Just came from there. OCT 1-8. The lines are extremely long. Food was about 6. Nothing spectacular. Honestly, i believe its the same food from the ship. I wouldve love a variety of other foods.. even if it cost money.
this was on our first MSC cruise, the last one we took we had a nice lunch on the ship, it is also the best day to catch one of the specialty dining options when most of the passengers on off the ship
I’m going in seven days. What advice or tips do you have? What are things I should definitely do. Also bringing my own snorkel gear. Do you have to be back on the boat at night time
if you are at the islands for 2 days back to back you will be able to go ashore more at night, we did bring our own snorkel gear but they do see masks and snorkels on the island, we brought our flippers because the tides around these islands can pull you out a little bit, did see a lot of barracuda in the area but they were not aggressive, if you will be on the Meraviglia we did a ship tour with a lot of good tips in that video, best advise is to avoid areas during peek times and take advantage of other amenities when those locations are not crowded, also the beach umbrellas right next to the dock are free and first come first serve
I would hate those Disney like lines. And to add insult to injury that lady took the last brownie. At least the food was good. Hopefully my October cruise will not be as busy.
it is best to wait until they start to close it down before getting in the line, if you I would say get in line about 1:20 if they close at 2:00 and it won't be that long, food was good and the island is gorgeous
only 2 plate each though, we cover buffets a lot and usually do 3 or 4 plates plus desert, we might have a chance a competitive eating for sure. in this case we got a little of everything to try for the vlog and the line was so long we couldn't go back for a second try, cheers and thanks for supporting the channel
we were on a completely full holiday cruise and the crew had their families on board so it was packed, we had a great time, just try not to be in the crowd for food and drinks at peek times and all will be well
It’s not always busy like this. There are other videos where you see it’s calm. Then there are food shacks where you can grab some food without wait (many free, some at a charge) or you can eat on the ship.
I'm skipping this! Why is it taking so long? People take forever to make selections and all the tubbies load their plates. I'll eat on the empty ship and enjoy the festivities on the Island at night.
I agree they should just serve you at each station to make it faster for sure, we ate at Pearls place in Chicago and it a buffet in the old jazz district downtown and you can go up as many times as you want but they put it on the plate for you at the buffet bar, much faster that way and cleaner also
No she does NOT, That is not a nice comment, Very TOLL, we are taking sample bites for the video then we eat our plates after we film the samples, please do not leave negative comments

@@t5thetraveler I will watch all.
Going in a few months, the tip so far is that go back on the ship buffet and eat (Shade also)
That or get in line when that start closing it down

One of the main reasons I love Yacht Club lol
this one was insanely long wait, two hour it think, if we were not vlogging it no way we would have waited
谢谢
check out our other foods reviews and thanks for supporting the channel
Why would you ever leave your bags unattended? Also calling out the young girl who jumped the line. She was probably with her parents. Laughable

Becky has a great 🎨 calm and easy going you both are
awesome, thank you
It did say fish lol then jerk chicken and sausage I was confused when u grabbed it and said let me get some chicken when the sign said fish 😅
it was bit hectic to say the least

i like youe vids. keep it up. you have to make videos very often if you want to get a lot of subscribers
Will do , we will be on our next cruise in june so lots of new videos out soon
@@t5thetraveler make videos even when you are home. just talk about traveling. keep pumping out vids
Crazy you had to wait that long-- did you try any of the food trucks?
they had a 2 hour wait we heard
we will be back in June on the new MSC ship in June so we will try the trucks next time
Is this buffet included or you pay extra ?
Its included, so are the food trucks
I would hate those Disney like lines. And to add insult to injury that lady took the last brownie. At least the food was good. Hopefully my October cruise will not be as busy.

I’m leaving on this cruise tomorrow. And I’m skipping this disaster. I’ll eat on the ship I think.
that or just be first in line at 10 45
4 plates burger, ribs, chicken fries, thought they were meeting other people, but no just for 2. No wonder the food was gone.
only 2 plate each though, we cover buffets a lot and usually do 3 or 4 plates plus desert, we might have a chance a competitive eating for sure. in this case we got a little of everything to try for the vlog and the line was so long we couldn't go back for a second try, cheers and thanks for supporting the channel
There are those that are seriously allergic to fish and miss labeling it has chicken could be a medical disastrous.
it was a bit chaotic
If you can't tell the difference between fish and chicken by looking at it, then you're an idiot. Lol
Wth....i have a cruise in 40 days and its already looking bad!!!!
we were on a completely full holiday cruise and the crew had their families on board so it was packed, we had a great time, just try not to be in the crowd for food and drinks at peek times and all will be well

No thanks too many people for me. By the time you get food it's cold.
The wait was crazy but the food was suprising good, I see your point too
Does not look very vegetarian/vegan friendly.
i would contact them ahead of time for the list, they should have alternatives available
You both are too nice. No way I am waiting an hour on a line to eat. I will eat on the ship.
Smart move
I'm skipping this! Why is it taking so long? People take forever to make selections and all the tubbies load their plates. I'll eat on the empty ship and enjoy the festivities on the Island at night.

Msc gotta due better! Wow
it would be better if they set up the buffet before they let everyone off the ship for sure
does she have an eating disorder....she picks and cuts and picks and cuts...it's all to familiar of a distraction.....
No she does NOT, That is not a nice comment, Very TOLL, we are taking sample bites for the video then we eat our plates after we film the samples, please do not leave negative comments
