CRUISIN’ ALONG
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2022
My love of Cruising has led me to want to share my experiences, tips, and insights. I'm originally from Savannah Ga, joined the United States Coast Guard... I moved to the Florida Keys (Key West) in 1998 where I would live until 2013. During my time in the Florida Keys, I worked in the tourist industry and spent my free time cruising. I hope you enjoy my videos, find them interesting, helpful, and maybe even a little quirky, I'm THRILLED you found my page & I am even more HAPPY you are here!!! Please stay tuned for more fun adventures!
This was NOT good!!!

@CRUISINALONG Since I started this channel over a year ago I've increased the frequency in which I cruise so over time I have learned what to bring with me to help me keep my cabin more organized and a list of medications I never forget to bring with me.

@CRUISINALONG I recently cruised on Enchanted Princess, I was booked in a standard balcony cabin. I let Princess pick my cabin location and well... My cabin ended up being all the way forward. We were in some pretty rough seas so I was curious to see how the cruise would go, how I would feel in the cabin. I am happy to report, The cabin was pretty steady outside of the day we went through a tro...

Thanks for this - perfect explanation and exactly what I was looking for 😊
How do they bolt those washer machines down?
I’m not really sure to be honest . Thanks for watching
Did you film this while you were drunk?
Nope I wasn’’t. I was talking slowly so viewers could clearly understand me. Thanks for the question though. Have a lovely day
Any live poker in the casino?
Yes they have love poker tables
bla bla bla, next time don't go with MSC anymore
Since I made this video, Msc cruise line has updated their drinking package policy to reflect you only pay the difference. Thanks for watching and have a great day
I love having a balcony
Yep!! It’s not too shabby
Omg, you are exactly that kind of person I want NOT be with me on a ship. Annoying. After watching this video I can imagine what trouble you started at the bar, thinking your fighting for your rights.
I was just on royal Caribbean cruise. Best vacation ever. Wish i could live on a cruise tbh
I know me too!!
Where is this?
On board de Royal Caribbean independence of the seas.
I’m on the Msc seaside
Super it’s a lovely ship !
MSC cruise drink packages FAQ If you want to order a cocktail, glass of wine or spirit that's not included in the package you've purchased, you will only pay the difference in price between the package allowance and the price of your beverage .Apr 7, 2024
Yep! They have since modified difference. I made an updated video. Thanks for watching.
you need another hobby.
Thanks for watching
🙏💜
And people have booked their chair in the Sanctuary so it is available and waiting for them whenever they want to use it. They do not have to be there but have paid for it to be available when they want it. Very simple...
It doesn’t stop it from being frustrating. I’ve literally boarded at 10:00 a.m. and went straight there to be told it’s sold out . Thanks for watching
The t-shirt should have given it away. You are a real ray of sunshine aren't. you...
Thanks for your kind words . Have a super day
Thanks for the post. I just came back from a Holland Alaskan cruise. I went on the bargain basic plan. Which was fine, the premium plans weren't worth the money in my estimation. However, the common area experience is what I found lackluster. Too many people at the chow line, too small portions in the formal dining room, too many children throwing tantrums, running, jumping climbing handrails, etc. and entertainment was mediocre. We caught covid after 3 days at sea which was the icing on the cake. However, the staff and crew were exceptional. They did their best to make the trip enjoyable.
Oh no Covid . Sorry ! It is a lovely ship
We did our first yacht club cruise last january (MSC Fantasia, Mediterranian) and we enjoyed it so much, that we have already booked another one for next year. Cruising is so much more relaxed in the YC. All the stuff, we did not like about cruising was gone, when we were in YC.
I completely agree . We are sailing in YC in the Seashore in a couple months . Thanks for watching ‼️
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Super!!! Have a great cruise
Thank you 🙏
Have a great cruise !
It’s nice to see someone else appreciating Take Five as I’ve never even seen a vlogger mention that it even exists, never mind have an opinion on it! One of the nicest venues on the ship and it’s super cool to boot.
It is but after that cruise, I did a cruise about two weeks later, and they converted the majority of take five into a casino area with slot machines. I was quite bummed when I saw that, and they got rid of theGin cart. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for watching.
@@CRUISINALONG That is good tonight. I am thinking of taking this ship soon and I was looking forward to going to Take 5 because of your video. Thank you for your video.
We had exceptional service at Celebrity Beyond. Our Room attendant went way above & beyond, even sprinting to open our door.
That’s great to hear ! Thanks for watching
Totally understand her point. Why not just charge the difference instead of the entire cost of the drink. I agree that since you already have a drink package only charge those guests the difference.
MSC has since updated their drinking package policy . I made an updated video . Thanks for watching
How boring!
I made an updated video reflecting their new drinking package policy change. Thanks for watching.
It always helps to read the contract terms.
Yep ! I was happy they updated their policy
in all honesty the Easy package is for basic drinking. people who are not particular and do not drink much. If you are drinking several martinis outside that package even for a day you should upgrade.
MSC has since updated their policy to reflect you only pay the difference. I made an updated video
Same here, I sail on Nov 30!
Have a great cruise Love to hear about the experience
Once you got Yacht Club you never go back!
So true ! We have 2 more yacht clubs booked
I haven't sailed w MSC yet, but the way I'm reading the drink packages, The cheapest one is like an HMO, no outta network benefits. The second level, Easy Plus works like the other cruise lines, you pay the overage on drinks that surpass your dollar limit. I'll see for sure when I sail.
They have since updated their drinking package policy to reflect you pay the difference . I made an updated video . Thanks for watching
Thanks for this. My documents aren't available yet, so I will have to check back later. At least now I know where to find them.
They are normally ready around 28 days before sailing Around the same time as check in
You should go on the pirates plunge not scary and pretty calm!
I know… I’ve been trying to get back there
Thank you for this video! I really appreciate the honest tips including food and drinks
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you watching.
Is this a smoke free casino?
We thought it was but yet there were def passengers smoking
What I will say is that it was minimal and the casino as a whole didn’t have a overwhelming smoke scent
@@CRUISINALONG oh wow that’s amazing! Thanks so much
I like to thank you for your video. I agree with most of your "Stinker" list however, we did sail on a 10-day cruise in May of 2024 and are about to go again in October. We had no issues with the solarium during our stay. I hope you filled out your survey at the end. I appreciate the review on the restaurant. We decided to forgo any specialty restaurants on this next go-around. Thank you for the content.
I appreciate your kind words and yes I most definitely did complete the survey . Have a great cruise.
SMALL rooms, No?
Hi I thought it was quite spacious !
I only paid the difference!!
Hey have since updated their policy. I made an updated drinking package policy video
Good idea, thank you
Thanks a bunch!
I went on that one it looks crazier then it looks💀💀💀
Yeah it’s fun. I always like to try and slow myself down with my arm. I keep banging up my elbow .
Thanks for posting. You also should mention to put your name on the tag, place for it in the center of printed tag...
Thanks for watching !
I wish you would have shown the food😕
Thanks for watching ! I took some pics but I didn’t think they came out that good so I decided to not use them in my video. The food was very refined and delicious.
They really messed up the pool deck. Need way more pools. TWO pools on a megaship!?
That was a little surprising
The main pool is huge and there are 2 plunge pools and the solarium. That's 4
@@KarenLane-g4t the plunge pools are tiny. One large pool for the main deck and one solarium pool is not enough.
Great review! I don't get the specialty dining, after paying so much. 100% agree on Cozumel, think we will stay on ship this time around. Can't wait, we board Sept.1....btw not sure about the coffee shop name 12:58...Al Bacio :)
I know somehow I always mispronounce the coffee shop’s name. It’s not intentionally done . Thanks for watching
@@CRUISINALONG No worries, I was secretly hoping that maybe they added a new coffee shop :)
I went to that park yesterday lol
What did you think of their new ride?
Love this room! Looks very subtle in color. Love the indoor balcony option. Would be great for chilly Alaska!
I quite liked it a lot ! It very much felt more spacious than your standard balcony.
I am sailing with MSC in October and will have the easy drink package and previously cruised MSC with no drink package and I did not know this and I really do my research.
They have since updated their drink package policy to reflect you only pay the difference if you go outside your package price point
Crikey.....Get to the point woman..........
You crack me up ! Thanks for watching
Sounds like you didn't read the details before picking your drink package level assuming its the same as other cruise ships- you're error.
MSC has since updated their drink package policy to reflect you only pay the difference . Thanks for watching
Amazing ❤
Does it have to be on a computer? My TA told me to just take my invoice to the port that they’ll print and tag for me… but my roommates name is spelled wrong on the original invoice, it’s all been changed but I don’t want any issues… what do I do? I’m looking at it on my phone and it says I have no documents available at this time… I’m 44 days out… please help
Documents won’t be available until about 28 days to go
I would call to make sure the boarding info matches the passport
Also I would ask you travel agent for an assist Hey should be helping since they are getting paid for the booking
@@CRUISINALONG so I txt her and she sent me the updated one with my shipmates info correct… thank u so much for responding so quickly… she said “Always bring the invoice to any cruise because it shows you have $100 on board credit. What happens if you get there and they say oh you don’t have anything this is proof you have it as in suggestion”
Hi yes I always keep an email file with the name of the cruise Incase I need to pull up any invoices. Good luck and have a great fun cruise ‼️
Hi! Looks like you used Virgin voyages, correct? I am looking to book this thru Viator instead of VV for the cost savings but I want to make sure, was the catamaran meeting point right at the port?
Yes it was but the thing is outside the cruise ship excursions have no guarantee to get you back in time conversely the ship doesn’t have to wait for you .
We are booked this December and then in April 2025 for Yacht Club, Miami and New York departure ports. Did you tip the butler and room steward extra? Could you get a pot of coffee delivered to your cabin early in the morning?
We tipped them at the end . Yes you can get coffee whenever you like
Tip your butler the first day and drip feed during the cruise. Same with the cabin cleaners
