Lets Try MSC//Embarkation Day// Meraviglia Cruise Vlog #1 

Ya we kinda just go with the flow. Lol. I try not to stage the videos and just try to be ourselves, and press record. Appreciate the comment 🙌.

Hey!! Appreciate the watch and comment. Ya we love cruises for sure. Like to check out different ships and cruise lines now. Want to do an Alaskan cruise sometime. The harbor pilot, not a pirate. Got it. Haha.

Heyy Neighbor! Happy you found us as well. That's super exciting! Nothing like the first cruise. We loved Royal Caribbean. Hope it all goes smooth for ya.

Don't we all?

@@cruisecrazy7066 sure do

Heyyy! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment. We try to stay positive and have fun no matter what. Really laid back and easy going so takes a lot to put us in bad mood. Tho this trip really didn't have many negatives for us at all. Hope your experience is awesome too

Thanks for the watch and comment. Hope you guys have a great time!

Heck ya! Thanks for watching. It was a pretty nice ship for sure!

Oooo that's exciting. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

They really were so good

🤣🤣 it is pretty mega ehh?

Omg thats when we were on too!! We didn't have a problem with the food at all. The buffet wasn't the best food we have ever had, but it was pretty good to us. Took us til 4th night to realize that we could eat at the main dining room which we thought was great. Cheesecake! Awesome to hear you guys enjoyed it too.

Yeah... we ate @ L'Olivo D'oro at deck 6 at 8:00 for dinner after the 1st Broadway show. The seafood was so-so, the steak was good...and not to mention "the hot water incident" in the morning when we arrived at Ocean Cay...but lucky it got fix by the late afternoon@@TheRamFam4

Ya the hot water thing was kinda inconvenient. Coming back from the island all salty and sunscreen covered and just want a nice shower. Lol. I was the only one who jumped in the freezing cold shower. Idk if hot would have felt good anyway with my sunburn haha.

Oooo coming right up! Exciting! We stayed the night in NY the night before so we were there pretty early, but it seemed pretty smooth. When we first came into the port are, there were 2 lines and the right was shorter, so we went in it and it turned into the cab line so idk if that'll be something to look out for cuz we then had to merge into left lane as did all other cats and cabs. Then when we got close to the ship where you can see the terminal and luggage crews, we had to veer left for dropping off luggage and then parking. I was more nervous getting off the highway and getting on the right road more than anything lol. I think next cruise we do, we are just gunna carry our own suitcases in. Twice now we had 1 not show up with the rest and had to go search for it. Where you driving from?

I totally agree. We usually go into new things with low expectations so we don't get disappointed. Lol. Glad to hear you had a good time

We did do the fun pass to give us some extra points for the gaming area. They put it all on one card. We are always together anyway so wasn't bad to share. They said any extra points that don't get used can be used in arcade too

Good to know, thanks! I wasn’t sure if they made everyone get a pass or not. Appreciate your answer!

@annieharvey2698 appreciate the comments. When is your trip?

Hopefully next March - exact trip you took! Haven’t booked yet, just trying to get all the info we need 🤩

@annieharvey2698 well I'm hoping it all works out for you. Whatever you choose, hope you enjoy it and have fun 🙌

They were heated yes. Even the waterslide water felt warm.

When docked we could see it from our port side, but the ship then backed up and turned the other direction so when leaving the port, starboard side was the side we passed by it

Pool temperature is nice. All of umm were heated

We monitor it pretty good. We just are always with them and watching. There has to be a way to set a limit tho we did not.

We didn't do excursions on this one. Wanted a more relaxed schedule and definitely saved a bunch by not. Last cruise we went to blue lagoon in nassau which was a beautiful spot and easy to sign up. Walked off ship and they have different signs and lines per excursion. We walked maybe 200 feet to the ferry boat that brought us to the island so it's right off the ship. Every port, you have the option to get off the ship regardless of excursions if you just want to walk around, get a cab or something to a store or beach. Just show seacard when leaving and when boarding back and its pretty straigh forward. They have an excursion desk inside the ship to help you sign up and any information. The blue lagoon just took 45 minutes 1 way so didn't seem like we had enough time for the money spent so we just walked to junkanoo beach on this last cruise. We do have the blue lagoon excursion video on the channel. Was last June if you are interested.

@@TheRamFam4 thanks so much

@drparham your welcome. When is your cruise?

I think bowling was like $10 pp for half hour. The cinema was less

We did purchase 150 points for $100 so if you do it that way, you get the 50 extra credit for free

My passport was expired so I used Id and birth certificate and had no problem. As long as it's the birth certificate from a vital records office and not the original certificate of live birth from the hospital

We didn't think they were too bad actually. Nothing crazy amazing, but weren't uncomfortable. We all usually slept pretty good.

O man, it took a bit actually. We decided to go early so there at 9ish maybe and took an hour to get through the lines and security and check in and what not. Then, had to wait an hour or so in the terminal seating area for the boat to unload before we could get on. 2.5-3 hours maybe? Felt like forever anyway as you are in vacation mode and just wanna get on.

@@TheRamFam4 thanks for the info. I've heard about this with MSC. I'll likely be there around 930 or 10am, just trying to figure out what to expect and all. Would you say you'd cruise MSC again?

@TekZombi the wait definitely didn't ruin it for us so ya, we definitely book with them again. Overall it was a great cruise for us. We also don't hold high expectations with anything and just enjoy our time with eachother with whatever we do. If money wasn't an issue tho we would probably choose royal Caribbean icon of the seas. That ship looks insane. We want to do an Alaskan cruise too. Hope it all works out for you guys 😁

@@TheRamFam4 Thanks bud, appreciate all the info. She is new at cruising and I've gone on a couple of the standard lines - Princess and Holland. Actually, if i could bend your ear with one other question about the main dining room. MSC indicates a +$5 charge for each additional Entrée ordered. Honestly I don't mind that at all. Tho' I do wonder, did you guys order more than one appetizer or dessert and if so, did it cost more? Even the MSC reps I've called had no clue about that and only kept repeating things like, 'maybe' 'maybe one at a time' 'yes every additional is a charge' 'you can get as many as you want without a charge'. lol. It seems like they don't even know the truth behind additional appetizers and desserts.

@TekZombi o I am not sure. We never ordered anything extra at the main dining. Sorry I'm no help there. Lol. Would have loved to order 10 cheesecakes tho.

Hope it's a good trip

Normal security I guess anytime getting onto ship. Bags go through scanner and you walk through metal detector

My father in law went on a jam cruise and he said they made chocolates and put them into trail mix. Just an idea. Lol
