MSC Seashore – Cozumel & around the ship
Written by Kim We decided to try a new all inclusive for a day pass in Cozumel, Del Mar Latino is a 5 minute walk from the one cruise port but we were docked at Punta Langosta so needed to take a short cab ride. We paid $20 to get to the resort but only […]
MSC Seashore – Belize and Roatan
Written by Kim Our second port of call was Belize. It was a tender port and we were docked quite a distance from town so decided not to get off the ship. We just sat by the pool and enjoyed our drink package. There are 3 pools on the ship. The Long Island pool is […]
MSC Seashore – A day at sea & Costa Maya
Written by Kim We had a relaxing day at sea exploring the beautiful ship. The ship holds 5,700 passengers which is slightly larger than both Freedom and Anthem on Royal. We only have about 4,300 passengers on this sailing so it’s comfortable. You can get seats by the pool and tables in the buffet normally. […]
All Aboard MSC Seashore

Nov 2025 – Our last day in the city of Melbourne
Written by Kim I’m not very good at goodbyes whether it be a person or city. I realized today I may never come here again so tried to soak up all I can. I know I’m very blessed to have experienced many cities around the world but this was a great trip with my best […]

Nov 2025 – Roaming around Melbourne & catching up with Uday

I was very fortunate to meet many international colleagues during my career and do my best to keep touch with many. Uday, a SAP consultant at the time, and I worked together at both Roche and J&J. […]
