I'm with you Kyle! For those who hate the "nickel and dime extras" need to visit Disney Parks. Talk about outrageous prices to recoup losses from the shutdown. Most of us out of state residents can no longer afford Orlando Parks anymore. Sad, but this MSC ship is much better than others in their fleet. I still have a personal preference for Celebrity Edge Class ships, but that's because I don't do water parks anymore.
I was on the cruise that came in on the 31st. That ship is BEAUTIFUL. This was the perfect time to go since there was only 950 on my sailing. Now the food is ok, just ok but you will find things to eat. People also have to remember MSC is european, so their main focus isn't food. The service was amazing and the staff extremely friendly. What was my first solo cruise, I'm looking foward to my next. Also that chocolate is AMAZING. Happy Sailing.
I have a few land vacations coming up, but these vlogs convinced me to give MSC a try when I book my next cruise trip! Looking forward to experiencing a different kind of cruise!
MSC is the BOMB. i legit have been on every cruise line from NCL to Royal to Carnival and MSC has hands down been the BEST cruise i have EVER been on. so elegant best food amazing crew. less rowdy and americanized than other cruises and its amazing about it
So glad you had an enjoyable trip and got to try new experiences! The Pina Colada was one of the few things I heard you complain about LOL. You should buys some ducks in bulk and put tags on there with KP info, hide them on ships and ask people to tag you on instagram with the duck's adventures! The big questions - does your new duck squeak when you are tipsy? LOL Good WiFi - on the ship is a HUGE Plus! I still need my Daily Dose of KP even on a cruise :) Thanks for the adventure! Wendy Lady
We sailed with MSC in Europe and found that all the entertainment was geared towards everyone being able to enjoy regardless of what language you spoke which was likely why the magician didn’t speak. Their ships are very classy and this one looks even better than the one we sailed on which was beautiful. I may have to look at this one next time I cruise in the area. Not sure if they still offer this but what I liked about them was that children under 12 always sail free and if you were a North American passenger water was free in the dining room but for everyone else they had to pay. I guess they are used to paying for water whereas we are not.
From your videos, it looks like MSC is a great cruise line if you want a more relaxing type of vacation experience. Might not have as many activities and entertainment, but lots of beautiful spaces to enjoy and disconnect from how busy life can get. Could be a great option for more expensive international itineraries too!
In my younger days, I once had a bad experiences with a left handed underweight Hispanic female with blue eyes and who displayed an unsteady gait. I always swore to myself that I would never again date a left handed underweight Hispanic female with blue eyes and who displayed an unsteady gait. I have been married to left handed underweight Hispanic female with blue eyes and who displayed an unsteady gait and have been happily married for over 35 years. Moral of the story, Try Spirit and Frontier Airlines again. I understand, stupid analogy. Thanks
It is a beautiful boat. Very pretty on the inside. It is nice that it was not crowded. Maybe your next cruise will be Alaska. Do they take cash? I am glad you had a good cruise. Maybe Celebrity will be next. Have you thought of a day at Cape Canaveral ? Your room on this cruise was really nice. I think this is cruise 4 or 5 since last year. Looking forward to your next video. Enjoy your day/ evening.
If you’re ever curious what ships are around you, just type in your ships name and cruise tracker. It will show you where you ship is right now on the map and you can scroll around and see which ships are near you.
Hahaha, you've been assimilated into Cruise life - food, drinks & elevators!! It might just be their business model - keep overall cost low but not have a lot of free food options. Still the cruise looked really nice. I wonder how it is at full capacity? Great idea - a ducky purchased for each cruise, that's a neat collection. I don't gamble either but when I do I go big - I risk $25 dollars 😂🤣
If you’ve been on a lot of cruises then you’ll know. You can’t compare a 3 day partially filled ship to a 7+ day cruise that’s sold out. On a 3 day you might encounter less work snd better food and service. But on a 7+ dsy sold out cruise the pressure is on. So you might have some degradation of services and food. Just keep that in mind.
I’m the same way when it comes to casinos. The one time I went, I took $20, and when that was done, I was done. Loving these cruise ship videos. My family is planning going on one next year, and I have been thinking about it…especially after these videos. Not as expensive as I thought it would be.
What is he talking about? Nobody wants to pay for a cruise just to turn around and pay for food at signature restaurants. Most other cruise ships offer more than just one free option. So that's why everyone is hating on MSC.
Kyle, I’m glad you tried Calamari. It’s a hit or miss depending on the fried coating.. Gambling is not for everyone and you are very good at avoiding it. You may win one day and be really into those darn machine. The promenade LCD screen looks like the Fremont street experience in Las Vegas. Nice to see you having a chilled evening and yay, you found your ducky companion!! See you tomorrow…
Thank you so much for your videos Kyle. I am a cruiser of many years and your fresh enthusiasm reminds me of why I love to cruise and have missed it recently due to COVID. If you ever get the chance to sail out of Sydney Australia (My home port) it is without doubt the best way to start a cruise.....your current cruise looks empty..the atmosphere must be odd but the upside- no lines!! Hope you have a great time...Tony
MSC is awesome! I'm a die-hard fan and loyal customer. Armonia, Divina (twice), Meraviglia, and have Seashore and Magnifica planned. Wonderful experience each time and I've suggested to a lot of friends to try MSC and they've all loved it! Ocean Cay is enough of a selling point!
We are experienced cruises, now in our retired senior years, with premium status on MSC, Princess, NCL and some status on Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America and Royal Carib. Recently been on the MSC Grandiosa, Seaside and Seashore, all in Yacht Club which is similar to NCL Haven but way more affordable. MSC gets a bad rap by some, but you need to understand that being new to US market it isn't on equal comparison. First, being a European line catering to a more international audience, entertainment tends to be more visual than language based, so no big production Broadway song and dance shows. Theatre shows tend to be more variety-style and each night will repurpose costumes and numbers. If you just go expecting to enjoy the visuals and don't expect a plot or theme you'll be fine. Other lounge entertainment will vary but tends to be shorter in length. Specialty restaurants and other food is not usually included in the cruise price, which is usually lower than other lines, typical of European practice where you pay for each pat of butter as to American all-you-can eat pricing. Food is very good but portions are not US cruise line supersized but you can always order multiple items if you wish; we have never been denied. We find the staff usually very attentive and friendly but English language skills may contribute to some reported issues, We travel with a group of 4-10 on most cruises and love MSC's newer large ships with Yacht Clubs! But apps and website suck bigtime.
I love MSC.. I have a cruise booked on the MSC Seaside in the fall. I was wondering if they still have the Cirque Did Soleil shows in the back room by the casino for the extra charge? They used to have 2 desperate shows in that room. Also how do you personally do the pre cruise tests because it is a pain in the ass and I keep pushing my cruises back hoping they will get rid of them soon.
Hubby and I are going in Oct. Our 1st vacation since covid, I just hope the occupancy is back to normal. I love when there are a lot of ppl. I'm rum&coke kinda gal but mango mojito looks good.
I have never been on a cruise ship. The idea of not having sold ground under foot doesn’t sit well with me. I did tell my husband that I might be up for like a three or five day cruise. Just to try something different. This is our first year of being empty nesters. I have to say I like the other ship that you were on because It had more greenery on it. Congratulations Kyle 120 K
In my head I always thought "just pick the largest ship in the world it will obviously be the best" but I'm really enjoying your videos about MSC! Makes me reconsider all the ships
Wow that ships looks beautiful. I never heard of That cruise line. I always go carnival or royal Caribbean. I’m glad you had fun. Continue the safe travels. You still need an Alaskan cruise.
So, Pullmantur was the Frontier of cruising. MSC has some wonky issues but they are great if you just want to get on a cruise ship. You and the crew should try NCL on the Breakaway/+ class. They have the best deck parties...well, except maybe Virgin. Or take the parents on a Celebrity Edge class.
Another great video Kyle, those mango drinks looked yummy and the chicken dish at dinner , looked great, beautiful ship but sticking with Royal for now. I live in the UK and for a MSC price for a 7 days Fjords trip 2023 for Yacht club & balcony will be around £5000 ($6500) from uk 😞 ouch!
I sailed MSC out of Venice in 2019. I wouldn’t do that again because as a non smoker the amount of smoking was unbearable. The one evening the main staircase area was a smokey fog. I have heard this is not something that happens on the North American sailings, but it was bad in this European one. The smoking lounges were not separate, so the smoke went everywhere.
You need to try a Celebrity ship, just be warned it's more relaxing then party type of ship as the guests are on the older side but their ships are just so nice.
I couldn't agree with you more! I've done MSC cruises 3 times - the first in 2014 on the Divina and I was blown away! I sailed on the Meraviglia in early March 2020, right before Covid shut everything down, and again just this past February. It makes me so sad and even angry to hear all the negatives about these gorgeous ships that are such an incredible value for what you get. I've sailed on various lines numerous times each - Carnival, RCCL, Celebrity, HAL, NCL and I have to say MSC ranks right up there at the top of my list of favorites. I've always suspected that the other lines instructed their employees to leave the bad reviews on MSC because they're afraid of the competition, lol. I'll continue to be am MSC cheerleader!
Enjoy watching your experiences of different cruise lines. Don’t think MSC is for me. Seems bit boring and less exciting when passenger level is that low and prefer more of an inclusive priced cruise.
You get what you pay for with Spirit and Frontier. Prone to delays and everything costs extra. That said, if you go into it assuming you may be delayed, you don't mind being assigned a seat, and can get by with a small backpack worth of stuff, the ticket price is sometimes worth it in my book. I wouldn't book multiple layover routes with them but direct to my destination? Sure!
Hey Kyle not sure if you tryed it out or not but the wristband they gave you , is just like princess cruise smart device besides gps where they know where you been incase of covid 19 passenger closes contact , it also unlocks the door you can still uses the card but I think mostly is to turn on lights an hand someone the card for buying something an sometime can scan your bracelet also from a distance like drink package to verify ? RC cruise playing around with the idea an charged you for the ease of uses ?
It looks like a beautiful ship. Hubs and i are doing Royal caribbean in May. Now we want to do an MSC cruise in the fall. I’d love for you to go on the new disney cruise, that is launching this summer. Or on an Alaskan adventure!! Go and i can learn from you!!
I loved MSC Seaside. This cruise line has much more to offer than other ships. My fav tji g is is that with MSC when you halve OBC is per person not per cabin like other ships. You have to try thus shop
People say it's like spirit or frontier because of that same reason. It's inexpensive but they get more money out of you with everything else on the ship
Curious why you are so obsessed with cruises? What is it that you like so much? I’ve never been on one but have been considering it. I’m afraid of motion sickness, crowds, small cabins, feeling claustrophobic. So real curious what you love about it.
I highly recommend Virgin for your next cruise; it's more expensive but it's definitely not nickel and diming. Food is included (even not at the main dining room), drinks are included and wifi is included. Plus it's a 21+ only cruiseline. They really want you to get to know the staff and the cruise directors and there are some really fun activities and unexpected adventures on the ship.
I just started watching you a few months ago but I am loving your content especially your cruise videos. MSC looks like a nice underrated cruise line. I’ve never been on a cruise so maybe that would be my first. Keep up the amazing content!
I am interested in MSC and my biggest fear was the food and good to know its better than what other's say it is. Also I think it would be a really cool vlogs if you did a transatlantic cruise maybe on the Carnival Celebration transatlantic which is a sister ship the the Mardi Gras and I know you liked that ship.
MSC does seem to “nickel and dime” a lot more than other lines like Royal. On Royal, you don’t pay extra for things like shrimp cocktail, pizza, sandwiches, el loco fresh restaurant - just the actual sit down specially restaurants. MSC sounds like any food besides the main buffet and MDR is an additional charge?
Rubber duckie number three! 🐤 Thank you for taking us along on another cruise. The ship is beautiful and so is the sea view. I really like the elevator on that ship very unique and different. Looks like you had a great cruise and journey. Thank you for all you do. I feel very motivated to take a solo cruise myself. This was very informative and a joy to watch as always. Have a safe trip home. 🧳
Why do ppl hate on airlines like spirit or frontier. I find that so corny. I've done both multiple times, never had a problem. Would I recommend them for trips longer than 3 - 4 hours probably not, cuz there are lacks in "comfort". But stop hatin! I find it's much like everything else, ppl think name brands are a status symbol. The worst flight I ever had was on a "name brand" flight, delays and some of the worst turbulence I ever felt. 😆
So nice to hear positive comments on food. I love msc, soloed in march. Really you just cant beat empty ship. Empty pools, elevators, halls. Super clean and great service. Cruised other lines years ago and there were so many people i didnt want to touch anything. Now i am spoiled after msc. I watched the midnight movie on the top deck jumbotron with one other person.
Disney Cruise please 😆 Duckies on every cruise ! Wow that cinema and the bowling were really cool ! Theirs things I like about each cruise you go on . I guess they have to set themselves apart somehow . All the food has looked really good 💙Beautiful sunset ! Would you say this cruise is more an adult one ? I hate losing that’s why I don’t gamble either . Enjoy your travels home 💙🙏
I have sailed on the Divina, Seaside and the Meraviglia. I really enjoyed myself all three times, and I will be returning to the Meraviglia on 5/21/23.
I've cruised with MSC and I love the market buffet. It's true people moan and complain about complimentary dining, but then it's complimentary. MSC's cruise prices is so affordable compared to other Cruises. There is a saying, European cruises doesn't always appeal to American's and that can be said with American cruises.
You need to go to Australia, Japan or Thailand and have fried Calamari....its amazing and tbh it looks a lot lighter than the one you got on the cruise :)
I just heard you now have to book a sunshine package when booking your cruise. The sunshine package entitles you to unlimited looks at the sun while cruising. If you don't book the package it will be $5 per each look at the sun from the ship.
Looks like a fun time!! Don’t feel pressured to gamble. I hate losing money too. That $20 could have been another 5 shrimp cocktails instead! 🤷♀️ personally I’d rather eat!! Can’t wait to hear you final review compared to Royal and Disney!
Are you sure there is 800 people on that boat???? Every video I see NO ONE! It’s like a little Erie hahaha it’s like they opened up the huge ship just for you !:) glad you had fun! I’m actually going on my first ever cruise this month I was always against it for don’t know why but your videos have changed my mind!! Have a great day!
I have booked a Cruise on the Mereviglia on June 4th. I have watched lots of videos on it and I am convinced I picked the right ship and cruise line. Heres to a great time.
Calamari/squid…is usually a “no-go” for us. I guess we’re not too too…adventurous Lol… But way to go Kyle for trying new things! Adds some extra “suspense” lol to ur vlog 🤣🤣🤣Everything else looked pretty Scrumdeliumptious though !!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
We are diamond plus members on royal Caribbean but we don’t like how hard the beds are. How was the mattress on the bed when you were on the Royal ship
Looks so much fun! 🥳 All I can think of though is how can they run a whole cruise ship with such few guests? They must lose money. Am I the only one thinking that? Lol
don't worry about MSC, because it is the richest cruise line by far, it is part of the family owned MSC shipping group which has made more than 10 billion $ in profit in 2021.
People are just looking to dig on the new kid in Florida based ships. I've been on 3, soon 5 MSC ships. Problem is, it's definitely not RC or Carnival! But that why I like it. It's a more relaxed style of cruising. I almost feel like it's a combination of Celebrity and HAL. Since I'm not a fan of RC and CARNIVAL, I love the ships and the nonchalant ways of MSC. Americans are too used to all the HOOPLA of the mainstay lines of North America. And of course the old adage goes.... you won't know what your missing....
That light house looked like a thimble next to your cruise ship! What a view from the top! Thank you for taking me there cause I'm afraid to cruise, but you make it look safe!😇
I don’t gamble much but I do enjoy it. I just gamble enough to justify my fun. Like a dinner and movie or gambling that amount if it seems ok to lose it bc I had fun it’s worth it. But I’d never gamble money it would hurt to lose. Glad you enjoyed your cruise!
I feel MAIN dining rooms on ships will soon be a thing of the past on all cruise lines. It's how it's headed, and makes sense, cost and waste wise! And that's a good thing because it frees up that space for better things.
I love MSC and if you have doubts or hate on it, watch my adventure here
You should try out the MSC Divina too and let us know how it is, the ship is a little older so curious to see how it compares!
You need to try Celebrity next.
Never been on a cruise. But your videos make me want to go on one.
Can you try virgin cruise 🚢 line next? It’s an adults only
I'm with you Kyle! For those who hate the "nickel and dime extras" need to visit Disney Parks. Talk about outrageous prices to recoup losses from the shutdown. Most of us out of state residents can no longer afford Orlando Parks anymore. Sad, but this MSC ship is much better than others in their fleet.

I have a few land vacations coming up, but these vlogs convinced me to give MSC a try when I book my next cruise trip! Looking forward to experiencing a different kind of cruise!
Will be on the Mereviglia on June 4th. First cruise with MSC. Travelling solo. Bit nervous but mostly excited. Can't wait to try the flight simulater.
MSC is the BOMB. i legit have been on every cruise line from NCL to Royal to Carnival and MSC has hands down been the BEST cruise i have EVER been on. so elegant best food amazing crew. less rowdy and americanized than other cruises and its amazing about it
And, typically, an older more laid back crowd. :)
Same
I totally agree and love MSC 😂

You think it would be good for a first time cruiser? Group of 8 25-30
We are experienced cruises, now in our retired senior years, with premium status on MSC, Princess, NCL and some status on Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America and Royal Carib. Recently been on the MSC Grandiosa, Seaside and Seashore, all in Yacht Club which is similar to NCL Haven but way more affordable.

Also how do you personally do the pre cruise tests because it is a pain in the ass and I keep pushing my cruises back hoping they will get rid of them soon.
I’ve been on 3 MSC ships. The Armonia, The Meravigilia and The Seashore. Had a fantastic time on every one!
Hubby and I are going in Oct. Our 1st vacation since covid, I just hope the occupancy is back to normal. I love when there are a lot of ppl.
I'm rum&coke kinda gal but mango mojito looks good.
That would be a great cruise for someone like me to go on who’s never been on a cruise.
I have never been on a cruise ship. The idea of not having sold ground under foot doesn’t sit well with me. I did tell my husband that I might be up for like a three or five day cruise. Just to try something different. This is our first year of being empty nesters. I have to say I like the other ship that you were on because It had more greenery on it. Congratulations Kyle 120 K
In my head I always thought "just pick the largest ship in the world it will obviously be the best" but I'm really enjoying your videos about MSC! Makes me reconsider all the ships
the promenade on MSC is so pretty it makes me want to try them. I bet it would be a blast when things get back to normal
Wow that ships looks beautiful. I never heard of That cruise line. I always go carnival or royal Caribbean. I’m glad you had fun. Continue the safe travels. You still need an Alaskan cruise.
Some friendly advice…. Stop smacking your lips when you chew
How did the included food at the buffet and dining room compare to the Windjammer and main dining room on Royal ships?
I’ll have my review for yah tomororw !
So, Pullmantur was the Frontier of cruising. MSC has some wonky issues but they are great if you just want to get on a cruise ship.
You and the crew should try NCL on the Breakaway/+ class. They have the best deck parties...well, except maybe Virgin.
Or take the parents on a Celebrity Edge class.
Another great video Kyle, those mango drinks looked yummy and the chicken dish at dinner , looked great, beautiful ship but sticking with Royal for now. I live in the UK and for a MSC price for a 7 days Fjords trip 2023 for Yacht club & balcony will be around £5000 ($6500) from uk 😞 ouch!

Forgot to add that I paid $303 double occupancy for a fantastica balcony, and that included port fees and taxes, on my recent 4 night cruise.
Enjoy watching your experiences of different cruise lines. Don’t think MSC is for me. Seems bit boring and less exciting when passenger level is that low and prefer more of an inclusive priced cruise.
You get what you pay for with Spirit and Frontier. Prone to delays and everything costs extra.

All that shiny chrome on the boat. I feel for the person that has to clean and keep it that way. That island was beautiful.
Hey Kyle not sure if you tryed it out or not but the wristband they gave you , is just like princess cruise smart device besides gps where they know where you been incase of covid 19 passenger closes contact , it also unlocks the door you can still uses the card but I think mostly is to turn on lights an hand someone the card for buying something an sometime can scan your bracelet also from a distance like drink package to verify ?

Is there any connection between your spondylitis and your drinking?
I loved MSC Seaside. This cruise line has much more to offer than other ships. My fav tji g is is that with MSC when you halve OBC is per person not per cabin like other ships. You have to try thus shop
People say it's like spirit or frontier because of that same reason. It's inexpensive but they get more money out of you with everything else on the ship
You can’t compare a cruise line to an airline. That’s utterly insane!
Curious why you are so obsessed with cruises? What is it that you like so much? I’ve never been on one but have been considering it. I’m afraid of motion sickness, crowds, small cabins, feeling claustrophobic. So real curious what you love about it.
The hood looks really good! I’ve never heard of MSC so it was fun to see. You got the cruise life!!
I highly recommend Virgin for your next cruise; it's more expensive but it's definitely not nickel and diming. Food is included (even not at the main dining room), drinks are included and wifi is included. Plus it's a 21+ only cruiseline. They really want you to get to know the staff and the cruise directors and there are some really fun activities and unexpected adventures on the ship.
I just started watching you a few months ago but I am loving your content especially your cruise videos. MSC looks like a nice underrated cruise line. I’ve never been on a cruise so maybe that would be my first. Keep up the amazing content!
It looks great to me. Do you think this line has less people always because it’s not crowded
I think maybe possibly cause of a bad rep from ppl and this ship was leaving
Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone to try something new! I've been wanting to try MSC but was a little nervous based on reviews
That is the worst bowling technique ever haha. The ball makes it halfway down the lane before it even touches it!
Hi Kyle, glad to see you cruising again. You’re getting my husband and I closer to booking for first trip ALONE!! (Without kiddos) 😊
I am interested in MSC and my biggest fear was the food and good to know its better than what other's say it is. Also I think it would be a really cool vlogs if you did a transatlantic cruise maybe on the Carnival Celebration transatlantic which is a sister ship the the Mardi Gras and I know you liked that ship.
Glad you had an amazing time on the cruise. Thank you for taking us along with you. So much fun seeing the daily vlogs.
You should go on the Allure of the seas at the end of April to Aruba!!!!!!! It’s cheap!!!!!!
MSC does seem to “nickel and dime” a lot more than other lines like Royal. On Royal, you don’t pay extra for things like shrimp cocktail, pizza, sandwiches, el loco fresh restaurant - just the actual sit down specially restaurants. MSC sounds like any food besides the main buffet and MDR is an additional charge?
Rubber duckie number three! 🐤
Thank you for taking us along on another cruise. The ship is beautiful and so is the sea view. I really like the elevator on that ship very unique and different. Looks like you had a great cruise and journey. Thank you for all you do. I feel very motivated to take a solo cruise myself. This was very informative and a joy to watch as always.
Have a safe trip home. 🧳
The ship is beautiful and Ocean Cay looks so relaxing! Glad you had a great time and thank you for sharing with us!! 😎
Why do ppl hate on airlines like spirit or frontier. I find that so corny. I've done both multiple times, never had a problem. Would I recommend them for trips longer than 3 - 4 hours probably not, cuz there are lacks in "comfort". But stop hatin! I find it's much like everything else, ppl think name brands are a status symbol. The worst flight I ever had was on a "name brand" flight, delays and some of the worst turbulence I ever felt. 😆
Love the duck !
Always bet the max. 36 cents could be more like $20 if you bet the max. And some bonuses are only available on max bets
Each and every cruise vlog just tempts me more and more!
Hi Kyle! I'm glad that you're having a nice time. Try a Norwegian Cruise Line. They're supposed to be good.
So nice to hear positive comments on food. I love msc, soloed in march. Really you just cant beat empty ship. Empty pools, elevators, halls. Super clean and great service. Cruised other lines years ago and there were so many people i didnt want to touch anything. Now i am spoiled after msc. I watched the midnight movie on the top deck jumbotron with one other person.
Regarding gambling…I might as well take my twenty and flush it down the toilet! Yet, my friends always win big! What am I, chopped liver?
Virgin Voyages has a 5 night cruise from Miami to the Yucatan and Bimini.
Disney Cruise please 😆 Duckies on every cruise ! Wow that cinema and the bowling were really cool ! Theirs things I like about each cruise you go on . I guess they have to set themselves apart somehow . All the food has looked really good 💙Beautiful sunset ! Would you say this cruise is more an adult one ? I hate losing that’s why I don’t gamble either . Enjoy your travels home 💙🙏
So glad you like it!! Perfect. I’m so ready to check her out.
“This food is good” sums up cruising to me.
Seems like an under appreciated cruise ship.
I like the international approach to their nighttime show.
I like that
I have sailed on the Divina, Seaside and the Meraviglia. I really enjoyed myself all three times, and I will be returning to the Meraviglia on 5/21/23.
I've cruised with MSC and I love the market buffet. It's true people moan and complain about complimentary dining, but then it's complimentary. MSC's cruise prices is so affordable compared to other Cruises. There is a saying, European cruises doesn't always appeal to American's and that can be said with American cruises.
These were fun to watch, I had never heard of MSC. Looks like a good time!!
You need to go to Australia, Japan or Thailand and have fried Calamari....its amazing and tbh it looks a lot lighter than the one you got on the cruise :)
I just heard you now have to book a sunshine package when booking your cruise. The sunshine package entitles you to unlimited looks at the sun while cruising. If you don't book the package it will be $5 per each look at the sun from the ship.
Looks like a fun time!! Don’t feel pressured to gamble. I hate losing money too. That $20 could have been another 5 shrimp cocktails instead! 🤷♀️ personally I’d rather eat!! Can’t wait to hear you final review compared to Royal and Disney!
We are really enjoying this vlog series. It’s very interesting to see what all the different ships and cruise lines have to offer. Thank you!
Wow that's a lot of food!
And alcohol.
Don't drink all that alcohol to impress us. Hint... Order some as "virgin" and we won't even know.
Are you sure there is 800 people on that boat???? Every video I see NO ONE! It’s like a little Erie hahaha it’s like they opened up the huge ship just for you !:) glad you had fun! I’m actually going on my first ever cruise this month I was always against it for don’t know why but your videos have changed my mind!! Have a great day!
I have booked a Cruise on the Mereviglia on June 4th. I have watched lots of videos on it and I am convinced I picked the right ship and cruise line. Heres to a great time.
Calamari/squid…is usually a “no-go” for us. I guess we’re not too too…adventurous Lol… But way to go Kyle for trying new things! Adds some extra “suspense” lol to ur vlog 🤣🤣🤣Everything else looked pretty Scrumdeliumptious though !!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Were you a little tipsy on your last night Kyle ? 😂😂 loved following along and love how you pack 🤣🤣
Love the video Kyle. I would love to see you try an NCL cruise. I went on one pre Covid and thought it was one the best cruises I’ve been on.
MSC is really trying hard but when it comes to entertainment, I'm sorry but they're still years away of Royal Caribbean or Norwegian!
8:20 Mai tai it’s a chugger 🍹
maybe we don’t have to like MSC. YOU can’t tell us we can’t comment on bad things they have
We are diamond plus members on royal Caribbean but we don’t like how hard the beds are. How was the mattress on the bed when you were on the Royal ship
FYI - msc has the same items on the evening buffet as are being served in the dining room. The fried calamari in the buffet was YUM!!!
Thanks Kyle! Love the video, made my day!!!!
I died when you said it's definitely not like Spirit or Frontier....I hear you on that one!
Another great cruise in the books!
Looks so much fun! 🥳 All I can think of though is how can they run a whole cruise ship with such few guests? They must lose money. Am I the only one thinking that? Lol
don't worry about MSC, because it is the richest cruise line by far, it is part of the family owned MSC shipping group which has made more than 10 billion $ in profit in 2021.
Congratulations on 120K subscribers.
What time is the casino open until? What else is there to do late at night in the AM?
People are just looking to dig on the new kid in Florida based ships. I've been on 3, soon 5 MSC ships. Problem is, it's definitely not RC or Carnival! But that why I like it. It's a more relaxed style of cruising. I almost feel like it's a combination of Celebrity and HAL. Since I'm not a fan of RC and CARNIVAL, I love the ships and the nonchalant ways of MSC. Americans are too used to all the HOOPLA of the mainstay lines of North America. And of course the old adage goes.... you won't know what your missing....
I loved the Meraviglia. I just wish it stood in MIA longer!
Do you know if they allow drinking by the pool on the ship?
This looks like a fun cruise
A.good.rule is if.u go.more than 10 spins with no.decent size win switch machines..at least this is what I do and u get to try different machines
Interesting 🧐
That light house looked like a thimble next to your cruise ship! What a view from the top! Thank you for taking me there cause I'm afraid to cruise, but you make it look safe!😇
I don’t gamble much but I do enjoy it. I just gamble enough to justify my fun. Like a dinner and movie or gambling that amount if it seems ok to lose it bc I had fun it’s worth it. But I’d never gamble money it would hurt to lose.
Glad you enjoyed your cruise!
Same with us😃
I feel MAIN dining rooms on ships will soon be a thing of the past on all cruise lines. It's how it's headed, and makes sense, cost and waste wise! And that's a good thing because it frees up that space for better things.
Hope your wrong highlight of the day do the show then dinner in the main restaurant
