Birthday Celebrations MSC Cruise

Emma Kerrigan 09 May 2017
I love to travel and as my girls grow up, I would love them to see lots of new and exciting places around the world too. My husband and I both share the same birth year so decided to take a trip of a lifetime for our 40th - a Caribbean Cruise. We flew to Miami, and we pre-booked our seats and meals as we were travelling with the girls, we wanted everything organized. It was a great idea!

We stayed at the Lowes Hotel Miami which has a wonderful pool area overlooking South Beach. We were a short walk to many bars, restaurants and shops. After getting off a long flight we all just wanted to chill by the pool for a couple of days before departing on our Cruise. Following our relaxing days in Miami, we were transferred to Miami Port to take our Cruise.

We sailed with MSC onboard “Seaside” which I would highly recommend. There was a huge amount of food options and entertainment on board. We opted for the Yacht Club experience which I would also highly recommend. It gave us access to several dining options which including a Steak House, Fish Restaurant, Japanese Teppanyaki to name a few.

Our Cruise docked in some exciting destinations like Ocho Rios Jamacia, George Town in Grand Cayman, Cozumel in Mexico, and Nassau in The Bahamas. On each stop we enjoyed excursions which included climbing a waterfall (Jamacia), swimming with Dolphins (Mexico) and an amazing waterpark in The Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas as well as visiting 7-mile beach in Grand Cayman where the water was crystal clear and warm. The facilities for children were fantastic on the cruise which included water slides and a Lego inspired kids club. The staff were extremely friendly, and they put on shows every evening. We had a wonderful holiday and have memories to last a lifetime.

Cruising can be difficult to imagine for first timers, but I would be delighted to share our experience and ensure you fall in love with cruising as we did.
