Day 4 – March 2, 2024

We woke up to another beautiful day in Miami

After eating breakfast, Ed took the rental car a couple of blocks and turned it in and walked back to the hotel.

This was, no question, the best location to rent a car if we were going out of the Port of Miami and the hotel a TownPlace Suites by Marriott.  They had upgraded us to a 1-bedroom suite so it made it very nice.

We were supposed t be able to board the MSC Seaside at 10:00am so we left the hotel in an Uber and arrived at the port just before that time.

For some reason, the ship was delayed so we finally were the first ones on the ship a 10:30am.  The cabin wasn’t ready so they had us all wait in their lounge before we could get into the cabin at 11:00am.

We unpacked our carry-on and went to the pool deck to have lunch.

Just for fun, we walked around all the public decks outride of the Yacht Club j(YC) just to see everything and then back to cabin to unpack our big suitcases which had arrived at our cabin.  The nice thing about the YC is that you also get your bags first.

We sat up on the top deck watching other ships leave the port and then it was time to get ready for the evening.  One of the ships leaving ahead of us was the Icon of the Seas from Royal Caribbean, the largest cruise ship to date!!

On MSC Cruise line, most (5) of the show are production numbers and on our last cruise they were all good.  Tonight’s show was very, very good.

After the show we went to dinner were both of us had Tuna which was quite good.

Then it was onto the casino where to our amazement, our Casino Host Angel was the same host we had on our October cruise in Europa!!

By the time we were done in the casino we had also met some new staff members and this casino promises to be delightful.

Night for now – tomorrow, Nassau.
