The original Regal Princess, and Sun Princess were the first 2.

We prefer wines with Cabernet Savignon blende with a little merlot, or Cabernet franc, or even a little petit Verdot. Those usually come from The Medoc or Haut-Medoc areas. We loved the St Emillion reds and the wine from Côte de Bourg.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on MSC Seaside. It looks like a very unique and innovative ship. Did you get that that look and feel of a "condo" like the reviewer described in the CruiseCrazies news article from the other day?
It does back aft, where the suites go all the way up and overlook the pool. Condo Envy, as the billboard in Miami says!

Thanks for the great review, John - sounds like a wonderful week. Does MSC still allow smoking in the staterooms or on the balconies? The last time we checked on them, they did, which caused us to shy away. If they have updated their policy perhaps we can consider them again.
No smoking in staterooms or balconies. Only in designated areas.

How to get the most out of cruise ship dining

I thought the pricing on the specialty restaurants on Celebrity Edge were the most expensive of any I have seen. $65 pp at the steak one, similarly at the French one. We had Karen's birthday dinner at the Raw on 5 and it came to $115 for two. Thank goodness I still had adequate onboard credit available. Dinner in the four main dining rooms was good. They had entrees from the other dining room available, e.g. we were in Tuscany and one night we had appetizers and an entree from Cyprus available, and another night from Normandy. I thought dining room service was excellent from the waiter, asst waiter, and sommolier.
