Nice vlog! I think you would have enjoyed the cruise more (and the food) if you stayed in The Yacht Club during your MSC cruise. It’s a ship within a ship concept with more options and a dedicated high end restaurant and a poolside buffet for your meals. You would have never went to the buffet. One thing I got from your blog was… when solo traveling you are not on anyone’s clock for anything. You can do or don’t do as mush or little as you want. That’s liberating to a person living in constant structure. Even on vacation, as a father you find yourself having to …..facilitate everything lol. Solo cruise you can just catch a vibe for a few days to reset and get back to it.
We have been subscribed to your channel. You have inspired us to start a RUclips channel Retired time to cruise. We have 71 day 3 ship cruise all booked. One of the ships is MSC. We will definitely be posting our review of the ship and cruise. We would appreciate any comments you have for us to grow. Retired time to cruise….Sea you 😁👍
Thank you. I'm a solo traveler and just tired Virgin for the first time last week. I didn't have a good experience...the hammock was amazing...I would probably try it again..I want to try the Virgin Greece cruise. I saw your review of that awhile ago. I have heard mixed reviews of MSC. So glad to see your review from a solo black girl. I would probably try that for a nice inexpensive weekend getaway.
I hate you didn’t have a good experience. What happened? I do think the Greece one is amazing. I actually have a group going next August, that might be a good one to join.
@@TheJennDanielle We missed both Key West and Bimini due to weather and ship couldn't dock. We did a day in Nassau instead. It rained the whole time. Scarlet night was moved inside. I got seasick..first time in about a dozen cruises. I think half the ship was stick because the waters were so rough. They were giving out seasick meds. I forgot to book my dining when it opened. So the good restaurants were booked when I finally booked a week later and there was longggg line to book after you got on the ship. There are always risks when sailing during hurricane season. I just feel like I didn't get the whole experience. I have a big trip planned for May. Not sure if I will have enough PTO time saved up by Aug but I would definitely be interested in getting more info. I will find your contact info and email you. Thank you!
Great Solo Vlog!🎉 I went on this cruise last year. Mixed feelings but I heard the MSC Seascape out of Miami is a much better vibe, so looking forward to trying that ship.🤗
Ty for the very informative POV video on MSC! We're doing our 1st MSC cruise nxt year and looking fwd to seeing 1st hand how it is. Definitely trying Hola Taco! for lunch embarkation day, but we're going for the 17.99 ALL YOU CAN EAT instead of the ala cart. 😋
Love your content, but the more I watch this the more I realize I am a Virgin Voyages girlie. The whole idea of a package entitling you to part of the menu and 1 side just feels icky to me, but I love that there’s options for every budget and know that not everything is ‘for me’. I am also in Atlanta and it’s so tempting to just assume that if one flight doesn’t work, I can get another. But Port Canaveral is close enough to also just drive it the night before and nap at rest stops (or just get up super early day of and take advantage of 0 traffic) if it’s a budget trip. Always down for a last minute Yolo Swaggins trip. Trying to cruise more but never have enough PTO for everything.
Luv this review watched x2. I was talkin with other cruisers. Someone mentiined the Ships are purposely making the buffet food nasty so that ppl will pay for specialty restaurants.
Thank you for watching! I think there may be something to that all cruises are leaning that way. I like specialty more but I don’t like being almost forced into it.
It’s honestly not bad. To be honest, I’m normally listening to something in my headphones or scrolling on my phone so I rarely notice others around me. I did meet people at the bar and hot tub.
Do you remember what time the white party was? Just don’t want to miss it if we book specialty dining or can the reservations be changed once we find out?
I love MSC cruise. Shows and activities are excellent. Fantastic ships. Food is questionable! It has salads, deserts, drinks, best oatmeal raisin cookies on any cruise line. Hamburgers are hockey pucks, the worst, you may find a mistake, one that is cooked well! Joseph & Corine Wilson On Deck With CB!
Thanks for your honest opinion, but everyone is different on their taste in food. I watched 100 videos on the pizza...you grabbed a different pizza! Some people are afraid to try something different like indian food? I love indian food!!! Who wants a hamburger on a cruise...go to McDonald's! Lol You didn't really venture out and try things outside of your comfort zone.
Not every moment makes the videos but I tried a number of things. People do have different tastes and I still stick with my overall experience that the buffet food wasn’t great. Thank you for watching.
Have you thought about doing a soca cruise 🛳 I believe you would enjoy it and thanks for sharing watching and enjoy your journey from ST.THOMAS US Virgin island 🇻🇮 ❤😊
Love this! For the the 3 meal specialty dining plan, was there any way to give your preference before the cruise, since they pre-select them for you? Coming from maybe the only person in the world that doesn't eat tacos/burritos often 😅
The Spa price alone.....Id be there often. And it looked almost empty. Perfect! 👍🏿💯👌🏿
The spa was a big selling point for me.

This makes me so happy to hear! I’ll have to check you out! Happy creating!
My 7 night MSC birthday solo cruise was $422. (Dec 2024). 🩷🩷 I love that I got a free balcony upgrade. 🩷🩷 I am so pumped. 🥂 Turning 39 (De 26th).
Happy early birthday!!! Enjoy! That’s an awesome price.
Anyone who is not a fan of the heat and hot weather is alright with me.👍🏾
I ❤ MSC!!! I’ve gotten some great deals and am trying their new ship World America in June!
That’s awesome! They have some beautiful ships.
The red chicken is an Indian dish called Tandoori Chicken. If you like Indian food, I would recommend it......
Thank you! At least I now know not to be afraid of it 😂
Love this.

Really enjoyed the vlog. Thank you for sharing so much of your trip. ❤❤❤
Thank you for tuning in!

Yes! The all you can eat is so worth it!

😂😂😂 I definitely understand. I always appreciate a day on water but nothing compares to the all inclusive feel of VV. Thanks for watching!

Great video insight as a solo cruise. Where did you get your name necklace from? That’s cute.
Thank you. It’s from Dorado.
I enjoyed your video. Did you have a balcony in your solo room?
Thank you! I booked a regular balcony room and just changed the booking to one.
I tried to book as a solo cruiser with msc and there was a single supplement charge so you still have to pay for 2 people even though it’s just 1.
Link to the white dress please 🙏🏽
Hey! Sorry for the delay. Here you are: amzn.to/402Uz8O
No worries, thank you. The dress was so cute on you btw!@@TheJennDanielle
Hi ! Do you have a link for your sunglasses?
Hey! They were from Minofarina.com but I don’t think she sells them anymore unfortunately.
@ TY !!
What's it like sitting and eating by yourself when so many around are with friends or loved ones. Did you meet people to hang out with.
It’s honestly not bad. To be honest, I’m normally listening to something in my headphones or scrolling on my phone so I rarely notice others around me. I did meet people at the bar and hot tub.
Do you remember what time the white party was? Just don’t want to miss it if we book specialty dining or can the reservations be changed once we find out?
It started after 10. I had 8pm dinner and had plenty of time to get there.
@@TheJennDanielle Thank-You!
The room is pretty spacious
You found the new portion of this video ☺️
Chiiillle the white party was a Zumba event (by accident)
Thank you for this video. Confirms I’m not booking
Can we get the link 4 the whit dress pls?

😂😂😂😂 this description is so accurate.
So, what your ratings in various categories???
Thanks for your honest opinion, but everyone is different on their taste in food. I watched 100 videos on the pizza...you grabbed a different pizza!

Is MSC better than the Margaritaville solo cruise?
I think so. I haven’t done Margaritaville before though.
Didn't you already post this video🤔?
I did but this has some added content and is all three days in 1 video.
@@TheJennDanielle ok thanks. I'll watch it now😁
I said the same lol
@@TheJennDanielle ok will rewatch
I'm going on my first solo cruise in a couple of weeks. The MSC Divina. Looking forward to it. Your vlog was really insightful!
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy your cruise.
Great content however I'm not sold on MSC.
😂😂😂 I understand
Have you thought about doing a soca cruise 🛳 I believe you would enjoy it and thanks for sharing watching and enjoy your journey from ST.THOMAS US Virgin island 🇻🇮 ❤😊
A soca cruise sounds so fun! I’ll have to look into that.
Love this! For the the 3 meal specialty dining plan, was there any way to give your preference before the cruise, since they pre-select them for you? Coming from maybe the only person in the world that doesn't eat tacos/burritos often 😅
No, unfortunately they selected for you on this ship. If I remember correctly, there was a 2 restaurant option.
