  • In this video, our family of 5 check out of our Cape Town hotel and get onboard a cruise ship in Cape Town, South Africa. There are a few hiccups along the way. Is this cruise off to a rocky start or what? Has the cruise even started? How’s the cruise food? How’s the sailaway party? This vlog provides answers to these questions and more!

    Such a different experience sailing out of another country besides the muster and packing your bags on, this seems like the start of a fantastic vacation. Those folks were partying like it was carnival. Hope to see this vibe brought to the states

      Hey fam! Thanks for coming through to the premiere. Right?! Once we got past embarkation and muster, it was a pretty good day. Definitely hope MSC brings this vibe and these chefs to the US too!

    The long embarkation lines and muster drill are giving me anxiety again. lol. But overall it looks like you guys had an incredible day! Thanks so much for taking us along the entire vacation of a lifetime!

    I enjoyed watching this vlog. I thought the Aurea experience gets your priority boarding

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching! I think any priority boarding, other than Yacht Club, is where available at the port... and this port didn't seem to offer it for Aurea.

    Very nice looks like a really nice cruise! Sucks that you guys couldn’t leave port, but I love that the casino was still open in Port lol and we were laughing at the man with no shoes 😂

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Right?! They were getting that money one way or another, and I don’t even know what to say about Mr. Barefoot. 😂 Thanks for watching! 🥰

    That's the one thing that seems consistent about MSC...the muster drills...lol. Yes, this MSC sailing looked live! Looks like fun. That seafood salad looked good too. Yes, I had a great time on my one and only MSC sailing and looking forward to sailing again!

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's right, Cheryl! Definitely looked like you had a good time on your Magnifica vlogs! The folks onboard Splendida definitely came to have a good time, and we're here for it! Yes to future MSC cruises! Thanks for watching! 🥰

    This was a great vlog!! Great info. MSC has some boarding and muster drills but so affordable. That’s how we’re able to sail in Yacht Club. I will never be in NCL’s The Haven, cost too much for me and my house. Excited for the next vlogs!

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you @Ginas_World7 🥰 Right?! I really do think the value MSC offers is unmatched right now, especially when you look at the ports they offer. Yeah, those Haven prices are not for us right now, but we're definitely considering Yacht Club. Thanks so much for joining us for the premiere! Definitely looking forward to sharing more from this trip! Enjoy the rest of your week!🥰

    Oh those lines! Unbelievable. And I really wish they would refine that muster process. So nice that you guys all enjoyed your food. Those samosas and seafood salad looked delish. I’m going to give them another try and hope to enjoy more next time. They were getting that Jerusalema line dance. Lol Great vlog!

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Regina! Girl… seeing the lines and muster drill again while editing this vlog had me feeling stressed all over again! Whew! The experience beyond that was really great though! I definitely hope you enjoy your next MSC experience! Thanks for watching and for the kind words. 🥰

      @MyCruisingFamily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      😂😂 Girl, even my prior MSC cruises didn’t have a muster drill like this. Ain’t never had one like that before in my life. Putting this vlog together had me all in my feelings again ‘cause of that darn muster drill… BUT, yes, the first day was still a good one! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much for joining us for the premiere! ❤️❤️❤️

    That was unusual.

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Which part was unusual? The embarkation line or the people walking barefoot during the muster drill or something else?

  • @onthegowithyolo
    @onthegowithyolo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Not a fan of the muster…

    • @MyCruisingFamily
      @MyCruisingFamily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah. This muster drill was not the best.
