As soon as you arrive at the terminal you check in at the YC Tent at the base of the escalator. Someone will escort you up to the X-Ray machines. They will wait for you to go thru then take you to the YC Lounge. You can relax have a glass of Champagne. Then a Butler will escort you from the YC lounge in the terminal directly to the Top Sail Lounge.

Hey guys! We were on board with you for this sailing. Nice review of the ship! Mr A was awesome for sure. We got a suite upgrade as well. What was your highlight, what needed the most improvement and would you sail again? We’re going back September 15. New sub for ya also #258. Keep the videos coming 👌
@FireandWaterTravel 4 ай бұрын
I think the highlight was the entertainment, it was pretty good. Food needs improvement the most especially the Steakhouse. They have a lot to improve on for that to charge the extra $$ they do for it. I would sail again on a longer sailing and when kids are back in school. this one had a lot of kids due to the sale they had going on with low price and kids sail free.. But I was really impressed with how they fixed most of the issues they had on the 1st few sailings, even the people who worked at the port said so..

Wow this was my first cruise when I was a child in 2008. The ship was called “Costa atlantica” and I remember that Havana sports bar was called “café Florian” where my parents went to drink coffee in the evening, it was inspired by the café Florian in Venice. Now they stripped all the baroque decor but I think the rest of the ship looks better now.

They actually have around 100-150K bottles in the restaurant's win cellar alone. around 1 million (!) with the storage. Bern's is much more than just a cool place. it's one of the best steakhouses on the planet (and in the US for sure). everything they do is high-end and they offer an experience second to none. been there 7 times already, all the way from Israel, and I'm looking forward to visiting many more times! <3

Your video is misleading because I put in for the upgrade and I was approved for the Aurea Balcony but the Aurea features do not come with the balcony.

@@davefineout5644 here is one thing to look for, we did have to go to customer service on the ship as they upgraded the room but we had to have them upgrade the experience on the ship, which they did with no issue, so if you get there and it still has Fantastica on your cabin card go to customer service and have them change it.

The snorkeling at Klein Bonaire was magical. I really wish the cruise lines would cut a few hours off the time spent in Curaçao and/or Aruba so more time can be spent in Bonaire.
