Ahoy Mates!
Welcome aboard Happy Travelers! In this series we are sailing on a seven night Western Caribbean sailing on the MSC Seashore! We will be departing Miami, Florida and visiting Ocho Rios Jamaica, Georgetown Grand Cayman, Cozumel Mexico, and Ocean Cay ( MSC’s Private Island). This is our first time sailing on an MSC vessel and Seashore is one of MSC’s newest and largest ships! We are excited and curious to see what MSC is all about!
Today is BOARDING DAY! This is our first time sailing on an MSC vessel, so there was a lot to learn and get accustomed to, especially the intercom and interesting muster drill process! We got to check out our cabin, enjoy a beautiful sail away, spot the MSC mascot, and have a casual dinner at the Marketplace buffet where we tried MSC’s famous pizza! We had a late boarding time, so it all went by in a blink of an eye, but we had a great day!
We hope this was helpful and fun for you! If you are interested in planing your own cruise vacation, we would love to assist you!

Always board early. They don’t hold you to a appointed time. I’m always there before noon and have walked right on!! Thus more hours to enjoy!
I think the pizza issue will never end, different people like different pizzas, so it is a matter of taste!
Hi Mercy! It's so true! Everyone has different preferences! Luckily pizza is the best so it's almost always delicious! 😋🍕 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Wow I'm so early. Love your videos. Looking forward to this series!
Hi amma2x! Yay! Thank you so much and thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

P S. I think you two are adorbs. I’m a seasoned cruiser and enjoy your podcast. Going to check out the SEASIDE with my three grown daughters in May! Can’t wait!
Thank you so much BJ! ❤️ We’re so glad you enjoy the videos and cruising! We hope you have a great time in May! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Great video - you had me cracking up with your scene re: the volume of the announcements in the cabin - I had exactly the same thing on Virtuosa a few months ago. I'm now convinced they do it so that passengers don't pretend to have not heard the drill, haha!
Thank you for this. We will be MSC cruising in March for the first time and were super curious about another experienced cruisers first time.
Hi Kathleen! So glad this was helpful! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Brooklyn Bar my favorite! cappuccino - white pizza delish!- fresh salads-tuna one delish!
Hi Jacinto! Awesome! We didn't spend a lot of time at Brooklyn but wish we would have! Maybe next time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Love your videos. Will be on the Seashore next week
Hi Alicia! Thank you so much! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Weird muster drill 🤔. But oh well. The buffet looked decent. Can't wait to see more
Hi Dawn! ❤️ Ya, it was an odd process but only a once a cruise thing. We enjoyed everything we ate from the buffet and we ate there several times throughout the cruise! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
what a nice video. I loved. I ask you a question: did they ask you for a negative test or pcr to ship? In a few days I am going to the same cruise from Miami. Thank you.
Diego from Argentina. gretting
I love msc
We're taking our 1st MSC Seashore cruise out of Port Canaveral mid May. I don't plan on ever sailing with Carnival out of New Orleans ever again.
We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
NCL is losing us - we've only sailed NCL (Platinum status) but after Prima with the stupid lack of spaces to relax, over-crowded dining hall, focus on over-priced "artwork" that contributes zero to my cruise experience, etc., their direction is not where we want to be.
We just booked our first non-NCL cruise (MSC) as a result.
On Davina, my husband and I were sent to muster drill detention. They sent us a note to our room that we missed the muster check in and we had to go to the theater to listen to the entire speech and then had to get our cards scanned at different stations i posted in areas in the theater. Then they dismissed us according to our muster drill station number, Totally learned our lesson.
Hi Lauren! Oh wow! I was always curious what happened if someone missed the muster drill. Thanks for sharing and for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Chelsy and Matt!
Yay! We are so glad you liked the MSC pizza! 🛳🍕❤️🌊
MSC Seashore! MSC Seashore! MSC Seashore!
Love it! 🛳❤️🌊
Hi Ale J! ❤️ The pizza was delicious! We LOVE pizza! 😋🍕❤️ Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Hey guys. Love your energy!!!
I’m going on MSC on November and I have a vaccination question. I’m currently over 6 months pass since my las boost and I don’t understand is I will need to get a negative test or if they just consider me vaccinated. I’m dreading getting boosted right now since I’m newly pregnant but I’m confused about this gray line. Thanks in advance 🎉🎉🎉
This was my first cruise and cruise line I’ve been on other than royal Caribbean and carnival but definitely my top 5 cruise ships to go on MSC Seashore MSC Seashore
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
We’ll be on the MSc seashore for thanksgiving with our 3 kids and 6 grands. We are close to where u stayed 15088. Looking forward to cruise. First in 20 years.
That's amazing! 🤩 What a great way to have a big get together with the family! We hope you have the best time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
You guys need to go to Ocean k look for Noel or Leon and tell him rumpy sent you the food in there was delicious
We go next month (different MSC ship) and I'm a first time cruiser, the muster drill seems super confusing and not logical at all. I really hope they've improved it since then.
Hi! It definitely was more conviluted than other cruise lines. Hopefully they have streamlined it but they do give instructions, so you will be ok! Just not the best system int he world. We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
You are a great resource for MSC experiences! Question for you: We received our cruise tickets for our July 2 cruise in the MSC Euribia. Our check in time is 10:00 which seems quite early. We are arriving in Copenhagen late in the evening the night before. What is your experience with these check in times? If I were to call them, will they change it?
Hi Kevin! You could probably get it changed but usually they're cool if you show up late, they just don't want you showing up earlier than your time. But we are not super experienced with MSC so I would check with MSC directly to make sure. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@@HoffmanHappyTravels got it! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello guys! I love MSC Cruises and will be interested to hear your thoughts. Agreed the VV has killer pizza! Good to know MSC information: The wireless charging disc on the desk will operate even if you do not have your card in the electricity slot by the door, you can also purchase a 5$ wearable wristband at guest services that works just like your MSC card so you can leave your card in the slot if you need to charge something while you are out and about and even though you registered a cc online you still have to use that kiosk to link your cc within 48 hours, MSC can be quirky :) Have an amazing cruise!
Hi Katie May Travels! Cool! Thanks so much for the info! We are new to MSC so there is a lot we are still learning! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
@@HoffmanHappyTravels I hope we can cruise together again sometime! Keep up the great content!
Awesome video,keep it up guys 🥰
Just wondering if they asked a negative test result even if you had a complete vaccination? Thanks in advance. Enjoy life to the fullest 😘
Hi Cherrie! Thank you so much! At the time of this video we had to show negative test results but that is no longer needed or required! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
how many cruises have y'all been on?
Hi Gregory! We've been on over 20 cruises (starting to lose count)! We're so glad you're enjoying the videos and thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Did your room come with a mini fridge?
Hi! Yes it did! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Cruise day cruise ship chaos
Hi Kristian! Haha very true! Thanks for watching! 🤗🛳❤️
You welcome
What time are you having pizza its empty?
Hi Gary! I believe it was late dinner time. Usually the buffet isn't too busy late in the evening! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
We went on the msc Seaview ship very nice food ok paid €160 to go to Rome it went tits up ask for the money back they said its nothing to do with the ship .so we will not go on a msc ship again
Hi guys, hope you and yours are all doing well. QUESTION: How would you rate MSC Cruise Lines? Other videos have said that the food, especially in the Buffet is "subpar"; the entertainment was lacking; that the Cruise Director and staff were not engaging that much and the private beach in the Bahamas was barren. WHAT SAY YOU?
Hi Clarence! So we personally didn’t have an issue with the food quality (on Seashore at least) but not many free options. I wouldn’t call the staff unfriendly but it’s definitely a different vibe from other cruise lines. Staff isn’t as involved and customer service isn’t as good as other lines. Ocean Cay was very barren and not a lot of shade but the water was really clear and pretty. Overall we wouldn’t pick MSC over other lines and we don’t sell them anymore because we’ve had issues on the TA side of things. We hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Was it a massive ship
Hi Trey! It was pretty large! We have a full ship tour posted on our channel if you want to see everything it includes! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
The Mardi Gras was really fun and the lifeguards kept saying “Orange, orange, orange” And I had like 3 people go before me. But all slides were fun and I went to the “Flamingo Restaurant”.
And the next cruise is the same cruise line as y’all again my first time on MSC cruise line
Hi AlanPLAYS! That's awesome! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching and Happy Travels! 🤗❤️🛳
I room ordered the pizza which was waaayyyyy better than getting it at the pizza place. I had a “just ok” time on MSC, but I love a day at sea any day!!!
Hey Yvette I’m going at the end of the month and nervous. Why was it “just ok” for you?
@@mommybehavior101 I was on the inaugural sailing and the kinks weren’t all worked out. It may be better now, however the whole muster drill thing is kinda dumb. You have to wait in your cabin to watch the drill, then pick up the phone and dial a number to confirm you watched the drill, then go out to find your muster station. They just scan your card and you’re good to go. So you will most likely have a better experience than I had. Staff was great, food was good. I’d be interested in knowing how your experience was when you get back, but definitely not a reason to be nervous. 😉
Hi Yvette! Good to know! I'm glad your room service pizza was way better! We totally agree, any day at sea is going to be a joy, but I would pick another cruise line if I had my preference. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Such bad management, no efficiency, terrible elevators that don’t work and are very slow and takes so long to get a drink even with a drinks package. Not one waiter came to our sunbed and asked us for a drink on our two week stay. The food is terrible, even the pasta was undercooked which means you have to pay for the speciality restaurants. AVOID MSC! ❌❌❌❌❌
