@TVHouseHistorian2 ай бұрын
Great introduction! Love the tips and hacks you proposed here. Yes, as we discussed in one of your previous videos, the $5 charge for extra entrees beyond your first is unfortunate. On the flip side, most people (at least the sane ones) aren’t going to order more than two entrees at dinner anyway. So it’s something to budget and plan for. I like the concept in that it reduces food waste. It also prevents people like me from over-indulging! 😂 Great hack idea for the lobster tail on lobster night, although my only hesitation with that is the fact that it looks like those tails came from warm water lobsters, which are nowhere near as tasty as those that come from Main lobsters. They’re also not as expensive, so it makes no sense to me how they could charge $20 for those. In my opinion, they’re not worth more than $5! That salmon did look good, but I agree with Joann that the rice needed some kind of sauce. For me, a pat of butter would have made it perfect. Um, that New York steak was not medium rare! I could hear it mooing!😂 That filet mignon did not look high quality. Lots of things here I know I would enjoy. I think as long as they don’t charge extra for extra starter dishes, I would just order several of those in addition to my one entree. You guys are the best! ~Scott
@TravelTouristVideos2 ай бұрын
Yeah that $5 charge is nickel-and-diming for sure, though considering the really good rate on the cruise, it was worth it for some dishes. Lol yeah their MDR steaks weren't the most accurately cooked, but they did a good job of bringing another one that would be thankfully. Always enjoy reading your comment on the food Scott- thanks! 😊
@monkeyb18202 ай бұрын
Looks good. I'm not a big fan of non-soup entrees being served in that weird hybrid 'plate with a bowl in the middle'. You can't fit a decent sized entree in there. But $5 for additional entrees is reasonable. Were you locked into 5:30 dining? or could you dine when you wanted (freestyle)?
@TravelTouristVideos2 ай бұрын
We were actually locked into a later seating, but were able to have it changed before the first dinner. It was tough though- the host didn't want to accommodate because the ship was jam packed, but did because we were Diamond (via status matching). We were sat at table for 2 as that was the only one available. Apparently no matter what your preference is for dinner time, they will lock you into the late seating if you do the "Bella Experience", which is the least expensive level. But it's certainly worth a shot to go to the host an hour before dinner starts on the first night to try to change it.

Your new Subs here (NY resident). I’m going on this ship on the 20th of Oct. I’m on De Luxe Balcony. Any tips on embarkation experience? I was scheduled for 1:30 but can I be taken in earlier? Thumbs up, now I know what to order?
@TravelTouristVideosКүн бұрын
@@lzu2860 Yeah one thing we wish we knew was that the buffet closed at 2 PM on embarkation as the ship left at 3. So if I were you, I'd try to get to the port to get aboard as soon as possible if you want to make the buffet lunch. It's not a problem to show up earlier. Thanks for subbing, and have a great cruise!

Exactly. In the old days, there was no such thing as “specialty dining” restaurants because it wasn’t needed. You had all the delicious, well-prepared food right there in the main dining hall. Lobster tails could often be seen in the buffet, and no one ever thought anything about it. Today they want to charge you $20 extra just to toss a burger and fries at you.

That is cheap for MSC to charge extra if you order a second main meal , they should be giving more to passengers then taking things away from them to make a few more bucks- what’s next you can only go to the buffet once and they might charge if you go a second-

That is certainly nickel-and-diming, though considering their low cruise prices (i.e. over a thousand dollars or two vs other lines), we thought it wasn't a big deal.

I sailed on this ship a few times and I'm glad they start charging for second entrees. I've seen ridiculous waste of food where people order three entrees and barely touches it. At the end the table is filled with almost full plates of food which the crew has to throw out. For the prices that they charge, they should be doing this all along.
