With the aurea package getting on the boat was very fast

Miami

We took a bus to the airport beach and then hung out there and at the beach bar for a few hours. We say 3 planes fly over and land while we were there.

The first part of the distillery store and shopping trip took us to a mall. This is just like any other mall in the U.S. and not something I wanted to experience and waste my time on when in San Juan. The actual distillery tour was the cheap tour that did not include any tastings. I recommend clarifying whether you are doing the tasting tour and whether "shopping" means going to a mall or actual San Juan stores

Excellent time swimming with dolphins. They do get you with the video and pictures which costed around $100, but the experience was amazing!

It ended up getting added at 9:17pm and can be seen on the profile section of the MSC and me app on the TV or the MSC app on your phone

- we arrived around 1pm and got through security and check-in in about 10-15 minutes before we were on board (no lines but make sure to look for priority boarding or aurea signs for security, check-in, and the boarding elevator to skip lines)

- deluxe package includes Venchi specialty gelato cups and specialty chocolate mixed drinks

- deluxe includes mini bar (limited menu and needed to have staff unlock upon arrival but that was quick and easy)

- deluxe includes fresh squeezed juices @ solarium bar deck 19, Miami Beach bar deck 7

- went immediately to the spa and booked our included couples massage ( three check in spots, but very slow to go through each person, luckily only one couple in line in front of us.Took another 10 before our drinks arrived and then order was taken ( choices were pretty good and food was amazing, shrimp cocktail only includes 3 shrimp, glad I got two) appetizers arrived semi timely but felt about a 10 minute or more gap between finishing starters to getting entree's

- balconies on 9th floor are twice the size of all other balconies above us (excluding yacht club I'm sure) they have two sun bathing chairs, 2 regular seats and one foot rest ( if you have a room next to family or friends on this floor at least it looks like you can request to have the last quarter of the balcony opened up for easy access between rooms if desired)

- beer menu is pretty weak (Heineken everywhere as basically the only thing on draft everywhere but the sports bar) The sports bad has about 16 draft choices including Murphy's Irish red which was a nice surprise ( the nicer beers are only available with the deluxe drink package, Yuengling is considered premium for the deluxe package only)

DAY 2 :

- breakfast was excellent.
