This ship is showing her age. She was built in 2007 and last refurbished in 2019. The cabins are definitely due for a makeover.

Thank you! We are so glad you've subscribed to our channel. We will try to add more content as we go on more cruises.

@@aubandsteve Happy Cruising 🛳️❤️🥂

Thanks! We're glad you liked the video. We have three other ship tours without narration. HAL Nieuw Amsterdam, Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas, and Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady. Most of the footage is taken very early in the morning and/or in port to avoid the crowds and to not annoy anyone.

@@aubandsteve well I need a video of ICON before I go in Feb 2025 :o) LOL and short but UTOPIA b4 this Sept :o)

If you're interested in working on this or any cruise ship, you can apply by going to their web page. They occasionally have job fairs around the world. Good luck!

Thank you 🙂

Thanks so much! Have a great time. Please give it a thumbs up and subscribe, if you haven't already.

I will be on the same cruise! Hope they still have the cigar lounge! Heard it may be going to an arcade

​@ryanmayfield8186 Be sure to let us know. On the Ruby, it is an arcade now.

That sounds amazing. We did a 7 day round-trip from New York up to Canada. Would love to cruise to Quebec City sometime. Have a great time!

Thank you so much.

That is kind of you to say. Thank you. We hope you have a great cruise. Our favorite area to relax was on decks 15 and 16 aft. Wasn't too busy, and the pool was adults only.

Both Sabatini's and Planks BBQ were only open for dinner. Planks alternated evenings with Steamers as they both occupied a portion of the buffet area. Hope this helps.

Fantastic! You will have a great time with it.

Hopefully you found the video helpful and informative. Have a great time on your cruise!

Thank you. We enjoyed it very much. Hope you cruise on her soon. We've been on the Ruby Princess also. They are nearly identical.

@@aubandsteve I thought that Ruby Princess don't have indoor swimming pool?

You are correct. Neither the Emerald nor the Ruby have indoor pools. A couple have covered seating, but the pools are all exposed.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching. We booked a Bella cabin. At this level only the continental breakfast was included, but with a delivery fee. At other levels like Fantastica you get breakfast with no delivery fee, but pay for food and delivery for all other room service. Aurea level gets you no delivery fee all room services, but you still pay for all food except breakfast. Yacht Club may have included room service, I'm not sure. Very confusing, I know. Best to check the MSC web site or call their customer service and ask to be certain. Happy cruising!

Thanks for watching!

You are welcome. I hope it was helpful.

We did not. Hadn't built up the courage. Maybe next time. It looks like a thrill and a half.

It can be very nice depending on the weather. The beach is beautiful and the water is a beautiful blue. We enjoyed laying in hammocks and relaxing in the shade. The bars can get a bit busy, and the music by the pool can be quite loud.

It was a bucket list excursion for us. The boat ride there and back was a little rough. If you are prone to motion sickness, I suggest taking precautions.

It was nice but could have used a deep cleaning. Some signs of wear and tear, but nothing too serious. This was the first MSC for us, and we wouldn't hesitate to cruise on them again.

@aubandsteve we are looking at MSC World America but its a little way off yet! 👍

Have they improved their food? I was on an msc meriviglia in 2019 and I didn’t like the buffet food at all. Very European with lots of bread cheese and lunch meat.

There was a pub with a few tvs, but we don't remember seeing a dedicated sports bar.

The float bags and seat cushions should work. The bag/backpack works for the Lake, Lake+, and Inlet. You'd have to check with Oru to see if they have a bag for the Inlet.

You'll have a fantastic time.

Thanks!

Fantastic! Did you keep it or hide it? Hope you had a great time on the cruise.

Aft is great. Especially if you have an aft balcony cabin.

How exciting! We enjoy a side view also. Usually means we're lounging on a deck chair with a good book or gazing out at the open water.

That is so nice of you to say. We're happy you enjoyed it. Have a great time on your vacation. Will you be taking a cruise on this ship?

Thanks for that! Hope it was helpful.

The birdlife was hardly being "run down," but thank you for your concern and for watching our video.

Thanks! We try not to talk too much in our videos. Glad you enjoyed it. Give it a 👍 and consider subscribing to our channel.

This video was recorded on that very cruise. The person died after falling from a balcony onto a lower deck. Made for a very memorable cruise experience. We have a couple RUclips shorts from the night it occurred.

I'm 6 ft 3 in and fit relatively well. For 1 to 2 hours of easy paddling, it's fine. If I were to buy an Oru again, I'd most likely go with the Beach LT. The only downside would be that the portability of the Lake is much better. To throw the Lake in the back of a small car and be on the water in minutes was a big selling point (that and the lower price). Depends on what's more important to you.

@@aubandsteve yes portability looks great. Thanks, I will look into it a bit more!

@@RubenBos happy to answer any questions you may have.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Have a great time on your cruise!

Thanks for your support! Budget permitting, there will be may more to come.

We didn't notice any hair on the floor when we were there. Didn't see any in the food either.

Is that confirmed? We never heard the results of the investigation. Makes a sad story even sadder.

Thank you for watching and subscribing. We look forward to doing many more of these types of videos. Gives us a great excuse to go on more cruises.

@@aubandsteve You never need excuses to go on cruises!

The flashing is a setting on the light. You can have it a steady color also.

We're so glad you liked the video. You're one of the few who have watched it. We would love to go back and spend a couple of weeks exploring. This was a spur of the moment birthday trip. Any recommendations on what to do the next time we're there?
