When I saw the clothes in the walk-in closet I said “ oh they rich rich “😂

I've never been on a cruise, but love watching cruise bloggers. Everyone you meet always seems so happy to see you and be on vacation! Positive vibes.

J got the best energy always lighting people up with joy!

Jay, those elevators are incredible! The latest high-rise buildings have them and they reduce wait times a lot and it prevents children from pressing all of the floors when they are on the elevator!

If you want to know mainly what you do need to know, here is it: The elevators take a long time to get to you, especially if your destination is far away. Interior rooms are much larger in space than balcony rooms, and some balcony rooms (specifically mine) had a bunk bed, It was comfortable. In the first or second day, definitely arrange your packages, and get a restaurant package (they are expensive, but if you can handle it, they are VERY much worth it, they are located on the infinity pool deck) Which do I recommend? I recommend HOLA! a Mexican restaurant with great and steaming hot food! and the Ocean Cay restaurant which has great food! I ate in every restaurant but the kaito teppanyaki. Butchers cut is a expensive, but nice diner and it has great food (which I will say is pretty expensive) Its nothing over the top but its pretty decent, kaito sushi bar is a unique experience, but almost half of the things on the menu weren't on the conveyor belt and everything that was supposed to be cold, was hot, and everything supposed to be hot, was cold, but its not like it was the worst. Its a decent pick for not-so picky eaters that are looking for a "cheap" but unique experience. Every other restaurant (excluding the other kaito restaurant) was a meh, it wasn't that bad but its not great. Now for beverage packages, what I can say is order whichever one suits your likings. Me a pretty young person, got the magic island almost EVERY time we were at a bar, and what I can say is that its really refreshing, so try it out! The gelato on board was a bit expensive, but it was great for its price, especially for its flavors, and the pirates cove waterslides and water park was a BLAST! it was really fun and I rode the waterslides a lot of times! Just for extra information, you need to sign a waiver before riding some (they aren't dangerous, its just for precaution) The buffet was good, it rotated every day, but for picky eaters (kids) the kids section (which almost never changed) was good, I never ate there but it seemed nice and it didn't look bad. As for the non-kid food, it was great and the food got better as our vacation progressed (in the end, they had great pork belly!) and the buffet was only open for times that they weren't changing out the food. and for my hash brown lovers, go for them, they are just as great as any hash browns, and let me tell you that line for them is WORTH IT! Also note that the fruits aren't as great, nor are the deserts, but you always have venchi! As for things you should DEFENITELY visit, the jungle pool, not only does it have a retractable roof for THOSE nice and hot days, it has its own humidifier and temperature as soon as you go in. No matter what its ALWAYS hot, and my favorite part, well the pool is SALT WATER! Its so unique and calming, that no matter what, day or night, it will be the best spot for relaxing, or hanging out, or even swimming! Now for the special parts, the shops were nice (they were EXPENSIVE) but they were always free to visit and it was nice visiting them once in a while. The perfume shop was my personal favorite (I love smelling perfumes) and the best shopping places were at time square where there was occasionally people singing and playing the piano and more! The bridge of sighs was truly a great experience, but if that's to packed for you, just go to the infinity bridge (located on the side of the ship, on the deck of HOLA! restaurant on the opposite side) is also a calming and great experience, theres barely anybody there since almost nobody sees it or recognizes it. I might have left some things out, but that's the ship review in my personal opinion! Side note: MSC ocean cay, at least when I went, had no food and was just a beach with some shops and a nice marina.

Your cruise content is a breath of fresh air in a stuffy polluted space. You're are well spoken and very informative. Thank you sir 👍

Of all the types of videos you do, this type is my favorite. I love getting the inside scoop on how each of the cruise lines do things.

Got off this ship last week Jay, the best entertainment was Samulous in the cabaret. He is a nice guy also, boy can he hit the high notes. Beautiful ship! The very back of the buffet was the least crowded and Reuben from Kenya is a standout in the very back coffee area. Have fun and look forward to your videos!

That video makes me understand why you favor Carnival. The crowd is lively and likes to have fun. :)

I usually cruise on Royal but I really wanna experience this ship!

That elevator procedure is common in modern office buildings. The system only allocates elevators that have room to that floor. Avoids waiting for an elevator only to have it full when it opens on your floor.

Those type of elevators are called destination dispatch. They’ve been around now for about 15 or so years. They are not extremely common, but are more likely to be seen in newer buildings. 5:26

Jay, Enjoy your cruise. But just a friendly word of advice - block out your credit card info when you scanned your card (4:20-4:30).

I cruise MSC frequently. The regular cheese pizza is amazing. The MDR food has gotten consistently better with every cruise. I just finished 10 days on the Divina. What I love is the multicultural experience and the staff.

Thank you for taking the time to post your videos on MSC. I have been watching them thoroughly because we booked MSC Europe for 8/18/23 out of Barcelona. I have a 16-year-old old son with ASD. My husband and I do our best to expose him to various types of cultures and experiences, which helps to increase his social and communication skills. We have been sailing with him for a few years now mainly on RCL and Celebrity. Last year, we traveled to Portugal with him, which was an incredible experience for all of us. Anyways, I am going on the ship with an open mind and have been planning things out even though our trip is 9 months out. Your videos have been extremely helpful in helping me plan our cruise on World Europa.

CD mentioning someone being on their "Last cruise" made me tear up... hadn't thought about that before 🥺 wow

I'm embarking on the Seascape in 3 days and am so happy to watch your video. Things are somewhat different on this ship and you're helping me to navigate it all. Thank you!

What a great boat tour! We’ll be sailing the Seascape in August. Thanks for sharing!

That elevator system is known as “destination dispatch”. This allows the elevator system to optimize which floors an elevator needs to stop at, minimizing the average total travel time for all passengers. The main advantage is that the system can load people from multiple stops into the same car, since they all requested the same destination. The “normal” system you are used to - where you have up/down buttons near the elevators, is known as “hall call”. But with hall call, the elevator system can only know where to stop to pick you up, but has no idea what eventual destination button you might press in the elevator. This makes the average trip time slower. (I know all this because I wrote simulation software for elevator dispatching in my younger days).

My two nephews would never leave the ship if they caught sight of that awesome Kraken water slide. 😂👍

I do love MSC, and Seascape looks to be a stunning ship. I'm going to be on their other new ship, World Europa, in March and I can't WAIT!

Have fun 🎉 Regarding the elevator, it’s also a new system in some hospitals in Miami. I was in MSC , very large ships. On Royal Caribbean, they had the drill first before the rooms, much better process. Oh, yes, that reservation screen is the bomb. ❤

I enjoy MSC. People just need to do their research before sailing. The elevators are awesome! Yep, that's the way the key cards are done on. Works for me. Happy sailing everyone.

Love your videos, your editing style etc. I’m trying to go on an MSC cruise in a couple months and I found this video to be super informative and helpful, thank you!😌

My first and only cruise was MSC Seashore and I’m booked the Seascape next year ! Thanks for the information. Love your videos

Glad to see the Nomad doing what he does.

I'm impressed, and will be watching your videos on this ship. We've been warned off MSC by previous guests, but this looks beautiful

He looks just like the guy on the Ship Life Channel! 🤣

MSC does have some beautiful ships.

Hands down the best video I’ve seen for this ship! Extremely informative thank you so much, I can’t wait for our cruise!!!!

5:10 the point of that is to minimize the number of stops on the elevator. It groups passengers together to be more efficient.

This was incredibly informative and so helpful! Thank you!! Headed out on our first ever MSC cruise on the Seascape on the 17th!

That short outfit is so nice on you Jay.

Enjoy! I enjoyed my cruises on the Divina. Looking forward to seeing the Seascape soon!

I’m happy to find this video. My family and I will be on the seascape on 4th of July week. Never been on this CruiseLine. We will be 1 step below the Yacht club in a Jr suite with the Aurea experience

Awesome MSC Cruise Ship. 🛳️ Love it! Thanks for sharing! 🚢

My first cruise was with Msc seaside three years ago beautiful ship now my second cruise is with carnival horizon for Christmas can’t wait

Looks like a terrific place to cruise.

Also I enjoyed that CD when he was on Seashore.

Interestingly, on Italian ships there is deck 13, but not 17, because in Italy 13 brings good luck, while 17 brings bad luck (17 in Roman numerals is equivalent to XVII, transliterated it becomes VIXI, which in Latin means "lived", that is, the past tense of the verb to live). 🤓😜

It's so good that everyone recognizes you. You're famous J 👍

Your the best , you have explained everything so perfect and made it easy for me to understand the ships when I get there March 10 . Thank you so much for all your videos . 21:38 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That Dreanmscape show was amazing!! I loved it!!!

I was there last week. Did 2 weeks. Was on deck 13 too, balcony was nice, love having a view 😁😎

Great review, man! Planning to be on this ship soon so thanks for your hard work putting this together. More power to your channel!

msc looks nice going to have to venture away from carnival.....

I absolutely love MSC. You must try Yacht Club

Looks like an awesome ship... we do enjoy our MSC cruises.. so will have to hop on this one at some point. :) You are doing a great job Jay.. keep up the good work.

The ship looks great and now that MSC is going to homeport in NYC I may have to check them out. I will look forward to more content form this cruise.

That’s how those new “smart elevators” are. We have them in my building at my job!

I cannot say enough great things, myself, about MSC. I will be taking my 3rd cruise with them next weekend. Now, I have only cruised on the Meraviglia, but I do want to take Seascape sometime soon. I love that it was your first time on the ship with all the questions. Sometimes, folks do these tours and skip over important details for first-time cruisers.

All cruise lines should make activation of the cruise/room/sail card dependent on completion of the muster drill. I bet you that will get muster done with time to spare! 😂 Once your muster is complete, your card automatically activates.

I just watched a video you did about MSC saying you would never cruise with them again...not sure if that was before or after this one, but the change in viewpoint was incredible

I'm confused.the elevator pad doesnt have floor 13 or 17 listed. But he is on the 13th floor?

Sorry had a problem. You are terrific at break dancing. Believe me., a crowd would gather

We’re doing MSC Seaside in May. If you find yourself onboard that, review away!

My wife and I had the espresso machine in our suite on Royal Caribbeans Anthem! Recently. We also had a bathtub.

Hard to believe you didn’t know that your muster station was on your card. Every ship is the same. Lol. Enjoy your cruise.. I go onto MSC cruises and ships are very nice.

Love the content brother God bless❤

Keep them coming. Love your work

Great review. There is free ice cream on the ship btw 😊👍

I had to chuckle at your description of the atrium, alot of silver and shiny stuff. I was thinking the exact same..lol Enjoy!

Loving the ship and shows! Thanks for sharing

Not bad, not bad at all! lol good stuff! take care brother and be healthy and safe.

Thanks for the review. Looking forward to sailing MSC soon

Another great video Brother

Great first video can’t wait for the rest of them!

I just got off the Celebration and saw this ship!! Very cool

Ahhh man you are hilarious, love these reviews!

Beautiful Ship!

Oh my goodness! That walk-in closet!!

You going om the inaugural sailing of the carnival Jubilee? Would love to meet and see you there.

Great video. Yeah the newer MSC ships the elevator suck. But you will get exercise lol. The food is much better the other MSC ship Amonia. Love the mixture passengers and the party atmosphere.

This was awesome man, thank you.

I’m watching wondering balcony room all by yourself? I was available all this time y’all 🤦🏾‍♀️ This is different though.. room key always on the doors plus muster drill not virtual.. this is beautiful.

Going on the Seascape in May. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Thank you Sir Justin Enjoyed this video 👍

Great review. I've never seen a more depressing looking meal in my life at 14:00

Awesome! Thanks for doing this

Bruh talk that yacht club entry into existence fr

Looking forward to More! 🎉

Carnival celebration is using the terminal MSC use to use it was new😅😅😅

Great video! You are our favorite!

I like the Alex couple. Nice people.

MSC food 🤤 favorite of em all

Thanks Jay, awesome vlog as always! I am wondering after watching your shiplofe vlog a few minutes ago regarding a covid (non story) outbreak. What would you advise me, I want to cruise absolutely bit had a kidney transplant and I'm immuno suppressed. If I get covid, though vaccinated and boosted 3x, I'm still scared. What say you Jay?

Great content once again man.

I noticed when you were showing the pad to push for the floor for Deck 13. The keypad showed NO deck 13. 🤔

I leave 12/18/22 on this ship...... cant wait...

I just found your channel! Love it, thank you. Looking at July (2023) cruise on this ship. Why do you think the overall rank is low..I am seeing 3.9/5

Thank you for this content.I really wanna cruise in this ship msnseascape coming from southern Africa.and I'm thinking is it worth it,I love photos for the gram content,now I'm thinking when can one take photos when it looks packed every where.those glass walk floors makes me crazy,love them

Very interesting. Thanks

Love your video glad I came to it do this ship have a club

I m italian and I had some cruises with msc. And I think the royal caribbean is the best. Msc aren’t funny and the foods can be better. But I m pride of Italian cruise ship company ❤

Note to self......Ship may leave early then stated time.

On the Seascape in June.

Whatcha got going March 18-29? I'll be on Holland America, southern Caribbean. Would be fun to see you there! You haven't been on HAL yet, have you?

Which would you choose to go on royal caribbean or MSC? I'm not sure which to choose.

gr8 tour!!!!!!
