We've done 19 Cruises..But went on our 1st MSC Cruise on this ship (May 7th) Nearly didn't make it though! Struggled to get a cab from Manhattan to Brooklyn due to a cylce race blocking the bridge and tunnel !. I was a little apprehensive after watching vloggs from her voyages out off Florida, but I read MSC head office had sent a team to sort out all previous problems and complaints prior to her NYC itenaries. They certainly paid off , cos we had a MARVELOUS TIME outta Brooklyn. Wish it spent 2 days in Ocean Cay, though. I'm happy to skip Nassau . We loved Ocean Cay 💙 Since returning home to Europe, we've booked 2 more MSC cruises..1 will be Yacht Club ! Can't wait!
I've done 19 cruises and this was my first MSC. The ship is lovely and forget all previous vloggs dissing it..Everything has improved enormously. We had the best time. The guests onboard made it good, too.
@@Podgey25 awesome. That's good to hear. I've heard so many mixed reviews saying msc is horrible and the food sucked but then you here it's amazing on other reviews. The recent videos seemed most people were very happy. We booked an aurea experience balcony with whirlpool for the same price as a basic royal Caribbean balcony and it came with drink package and WiFi. We've only been on royal Caribbean ships so ready for something different
@chris zarish It's not at all like past vloggs say. They've also changed the drink package policy- now if you order a drink that's outside your package, you only pay the difference! Most cruise lines want the full price. The shops onboard and Ocean Cay are very economical and reasonable in price. We didn't take out any Speciality dining packages, we just reserved and went a la carte. We shared a T.bone at Butchers cut restaurant. It was fantastic.
@Mark Kerestan thank you traffic was good until I got to Boone st there was about a 30-40 min wait getting into the terminal traffic was at a stand still
I am wanting to book with them but also scared of all the bad reviews .. I can’t see prices of drinks and WiFi is there any free WiFi on board? Thank you so much and does the balcony double beds come together for one big bed?
Hello thank you for watching Yes the beds can be put together for one big bed there is wifi on board for you to use the "MSC for Me" app you do not need to purchase internet to use the App, however you do need to purchase internet to browse the web, use social media,check email, etc. I had a great time I would definitely book again most of the complaints are about the food and long lines. I am going to do a review this week about my experience the pros & cons
Thank you very much for sharing! Great video! Like 85

Is there a duty-free liquor shop on board, I want to do away w drink packages I don’t like the idea of standing in long lines for 🍹 drinks

Hi Vaughn, great video. Thanks! How was traffic getting to the Port?
@Mark Kerestan thank you traffic was good until I got to Boone st there was about a 30-40 min wait getting into the terminal traffic was at a stand still
Does the port have drop off that is close to the terminal with those parking prices we rather have a family members take abd pick us up
Can you bring bottle water to the ship?
Good question: No, you're not allowed to bring bottled water on the ship

Great video, how long was embarking?
Embarkation took exactly 1hr & Disembarkation took an hour.
Thanks, not bad
May be I’ve been watching way too many Carnival videos but that sail away looked tamed.
Carnival hands down has the best sail away's, and there is no comparison. This one was good, though in my opinion
