This week on the podcast, we recap our experience, cruising with the MSC Yacht Club in the Middle East. We sailed 7 nights on MSC Euribia visiting Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Sir Bani Yas and Bahrain. There were so many things that took us by surprise in this area and some things that we weren’t prepared for. We share details about our itinerary, including a private destination, we didn’t know existed.
