I'm so glad that you had a great time on the MSC Divina. I'm also delighted that you provided so much positive feedback about the MSC Divina and expressed your positive remarks towards the hard working crew. Unfortunately so many RUclips cruise reviews only post negative remarks regarding their cruises and fail to provide a balanced and fair cruise review. Thanks and until your next cruise.
MSC is great if you want a pool/beach cruise with some port stops. And yes, I could sail for ~14 days on MSC for the same price as my last 3 day Disney cruise.
Thank you for your videos. I am taking my first cruise soon on the MSC Davina and I had never even heard of MSC until the other day so this has been a miracle!
Michael we’re taking our first ever cruise in January on the Disney Wish. It’s in no small part thanks to your videos. This series makes me consider other lines. Between Royal and MSC which one do you like?
Great coverage on MSC, thank you. Interested in the pricing, you mentioned DCL is roughly 3x-4x more, wow! Would love to see a video on more detailed pricing comparing cruise lines especially during these days of surging inflation.
Ummmm he didn't bash them, he reviewed them...his job. One cruise line bashing another while boasting about being "the best"...ESPECIALLY if that set expectation falls short... is totally different. Maybe you could glean some perspective with lengthy consideration 🤔 🧐 🤨 🙃
I just want to say keep up the great work!! I really enjoy the cruise vlogs and I've watch all of your cruise vlogs!! I also like your honest opinions of things.
MSC Seashore was a great ship and food was amazing. Crew was very friendly and glad we decided to try MSC again because when not on MSC Meraviglia the food was terrible and unfriendly crew. So glad we gave MSC another chance and the pricing is unbelievable too.
I've sailed MSC 3 times/ twice in Europe and once from the States. The brand definitely needs to step up the entertainment, food and (in Europe) the customer service. I know for a fact that even with the MSC newer ships, this Brand needs to step up it's product. Thanks Mike for your honest opinion and review.
I'm happy you finally got a good meal on this cruise! Thank you for all of the work you put into these vlogs, it's much appreciated. Looking forward to your future adventures and praying your leg injury heals quickly! Susan
I’m really happy you tried this cruise line and vlogged it. I’m going on Norwegian in October and Royal in December out of NY. I was checking out the MSC site and noticed they go out of NY as well. The price was really good so we might try it out in 2023. Thanks for the great videos.
Hey, Michael love all of your videos. My wife and I are big Disney world fans, my first time was back in December 1971. My wife and I we are DVC members. BUT when it comes to cruising you will never see us on a Disney cruise ship. There are so many cruise ship to Choose from and all of them are unique if we don't like the food I just get something else. You should try Princess cruise ship. Michael keep up the good work 👏 as always great video. Hopefully we get to run into you in Disney world again.
That was a great series. I felt like I was on the cruise. I cannot wait to get on and try some of these things out for myself. I love the fact that they do no impose the 100% surcharge just because you travel solo. There are a lot of us that have to travel alone for one reason or another. Other cruise lines need to pay attention. MSC is going to shoot up in the standings in the next few years and they have definitely put their hand out to grab clients. Thanks Mike!
My husband and I just came across your video and we loved it. We really enjoyed all of your tours around the ship and ocean Kay. We are going back on Divina October 9th for 12 days, it will be are 3rd time on her. I agree the food is just ok but love the ship.
Love getting your feedback on this lower priced adventure... and getting a sunset view of another ship. Having regular and reliable wifi is so appealing!!
I'm actually suprised at how nice your cruise was. I had kind of low expectations to be honest. I've seen alot of negative comments about MSC. It looks like for the price it's a great value, and I would do it. Definitely
Definitely do it and ignore the nay sayers, some people always find something to complain about. I have been hearing negative comments come from across all of the lines. Try them all is my motto!
It’s gotta beat microwave Trader Joe’s food day after day in my studio apartment. Can’t be that bad. They have to be able to make one thing right, hard to mess up a salad or breakfast and pasta. I’ve heard the bread and broccoli is so good and those are two of my staples.
Loved the ocean cay vlogg. I can't wait for your cruise solo points. I'm not sure how you do it by yourself. What other cruiselines are you trying next?
You mentioned MSC is possibly bringing out more ships than any other cruise line right now. Do you know if they will start to base any of their ship in Australia/NZ in the future? MSC is one of the few lines that has not yet done so. Rumour already around that Disney will enter the Aussie market in the near future.
Great vlog! Sorry you had a bad experience with one of the shows. The audio snippet I heard was going down the "inappropriate road", I could tell. The tour of the ship was fantastic..
Totally agree and wow just wow! To say a member of the staff, representing not only the cruise but the corporation of MSC, disparaging divorce and individuals is disgusting and has no place in public or private settings. Even if the rest of the cruise was a trip to "go out of your way for". This single comment set the stage so-to-speak for the entire experience. What perhaps is MSC staff saying about individuals outside of a public setting? This comment may be taken down as it is outside the feel-good vibes Michael Kay posts and that will be fine, I guess. I hope MSC corporate watches the video and investigates these statements by their staff. Thank you, Michael for sharing the audio on the bashing of Disney and your follow up comments regarding the previous show. You helped make our decision to never patronize MSC regardless of the low-fare.
@@GussyFlight Agreed. Comments *that* nasty - and dishonest/misleading/envious remarks reveal the character, ethics and class of the speaker and employer. If blatant bigotry, outright *lying*, and disrespect are "acceptable" behaviour for MSC staff... why would we want them in charge of OUR safety, our belongings, our food, or our holiday? My husband and I both remarked that arrogance from MSC staff over the history of other lines is the height of hypocrisy - after all, what is MSC and abbreviation of.
I've solo traveled on international tours in the past and have really enjoyed it. I've never cruised, but would like to try one sometime and would do it solo if my sister couldn't come along. I think with this cruise company the lower pricing is a draw for people. I'm looking forward to your upcoming cruises and reviews. Have you ever thought about a river cruise. It's something I've thought I'd enjoy, being able to see countryside and experiencing ports of call that way. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you for this video. Your first vlogs had me second guessing booking with MSC. You weren't really happy with the food or entertainment. But you found some good food.
Even if it’s bad service just being on a cruise in that atmosphere is appealing to me so I would definitely go on MSC for a more reasonable price. With that being said, I think the service is still great on MSC but not as great as let’s say Norwegian or Disney
We are a family that loves activities on the ship so MSC seems to be a hard pass for us. Between the lack of entertainment and subpar food, we will stick with spending extra for quality.
At 6:54 I've never seen our man so uncomfortable. It's all tongue and cheek, but it goes to show you not everyone understands the "waves" like disney fans do.
Get a cruise sponsorship! Your the best you cover these cruises from top to bottom I know exactly what to expect before I go. First Disney cruise next year for my wife and I thanks to you!! 👍
“Different”…..”unique”…..”good”…..”fine”….msc is “another option”…..you hated this cruise didn’t you Michael? Those are the Michael Kay words of death.
Wow.... 21+ meals on the cruise and you can only recommend one?! Can't say I am surprised... Everyone I know who's sailed MSC always says that the ships are beautiful, but service is so-so and the food is tasteless and nothing special. Glad you had your experience. Now get onto Celebrity and NCL! 😊

Can’t wait till you experience a Celebrity cruise. We found their food is tops over Royal and then Disney
Michael, I rarely comment but just wanted you to know you’re always such a joy to watch. I hope your channel continues to flourish.
Thank you for your videos. I am taking my first cruise soon on the MSC Davina and I had never even heard of MSC until the other day so this has been a miracle!
Thank you for the great information about the MSC Divina.
I love this series! It makes me want to do another cruise soon. But for now, I will live vicariously through you!
Michael,
Thanks for sharing. You did a good job.
Michael we’re taking our first ever cruise in January on the Disney Wish. It’s in no small part thanks to your videos. This series makes me consider other lines. Between Royal and MSC which one do you like?
I've loved your vlogs on MSC and your different perspectives. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great coverage on MSC, thank you. Interested in the pricing, you mentioned DCL is roughly 3x-4x more, wow! Would love to see a video on more detailed pricing comparing cruise lines especially during these days of surging inflation.
Great vlog series! It’s great to see the cruises that you can easily do to add to your vacation when in the Orlando area.
I’m sailing on the Divina in 2 weeks, thanks for the reviews and incredible timing.
Thanks for another honest review. Great job with your vlog as usual. I always enjoy your videos.
Yet you bashed Carnival in a previous video. 🤔
Ummmm he didn't bash them, he reviewed them...his job.
One cruise line bashing another while boasting about being "the best"...ESPECIALLY if that set expectation falls short... is totally different. Maybe you could glean some perspective with lengthy consideration 🤔 🧐 🤨 🙃
Hi Michael!
Excellent MSC’s series 👍🏻

I am going to predict that your next cruise cleanser is another Disney Cruise because you love Disney so so much!

Seashore/Seaside are really great ships. You can see the ocean from everywhere. And I also love solo cruising.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.
This reminds me of what cruising was in the 90s. Before all the mega ships and all the amenities they give you now.
You mentioned MSC is possibly bringing out more ships than any other cruise line right now. Do you know if they will start to base any of their ship in Australia/NZ in the future? MSC is one of the few lines that has not yet done so. Rumour already around that Disney will enter the Aussie market in the near future.
The room looks really nice
Didn’t you just do a video where you talked about how bad other cruise lines were that you have never sailed on?
Great vlog! Sorry you had a bad experience with one of the shows. The audio snippet I heard was going down the "inappropriate road", I could tell. The tour of the ship was fantastic..

Michael, MSC's Private Island is called. "Ocean Key."
He was saying it right the whole time!
I went to their website, are they really that much less expensive? I was shocked, perhaps why the food was not as good?
The sunset was beautiful!
What website did you look at to figure out what cruise ship was off in the distance?
It was a barracuda for real. Im an expert fisherman…question: Can we bring a fishing rod & reel? We’re spending two days in Cay key…Is it allowed?
Great Vlogg!!
Great cruise shows hope your Achilles doing better
are you going to try Virgin Voyages.
I've solo traveled on international tours in the past and have really enjoyed it. I've never cruised, but would like to try one sometime and would do it solo if my sister couldn't come along.

Lighthouse is when they do a 2 day ocean cay
Thank you for this video. Your first vlogs had me second guessing booking with MSC. You weren't really happy with the food or entertainment. But you found some good food.
What a shame that this series is ending, I hope you had a good time Micheal.
Even if it’s bad service just being on a cruise in that atmosphere is appealing to me so I would definitely go on MSC for a more reasonable price. With that being said, I think the service is still great on MSC but not as great as let’s say Norwegian or Disney
This cruise looked amazing. I'm going on a carnival cruise in March and I'm very excited. It's nice to see that there are other options than Disney.
We are a family that loves activities on the ship so MSC seems to be a hard pass for us. Between the lack of entertainment and subpar food, we will stick with spending extra for quality.
I totally agree with you, Michael. It would be off-putting to hear them bash other cruise lines. There’s no need.
At 6:54 I've never seen our man so uncomfortable. It's all tongue and cheek, but it goes to show you not everyone understands the "waves" like disney fans do.
Boy, compared to this my life is sure a punishment 👀
Get a cruise sponsorship! Your the best you cover these cruises from top to bottom I know exactly what to expect before I go. First Disney cruise next year for my wife and I thanks to you!! 👍
You’re going to have the best time on that Disney Cruise! I’m happy for you and your wife.
Agreed with the sponsorship idea...
@@carolinenichols7739 thank you for that!
Pronounced. Ocean Key.
Disney cruise line is based on a company that is based on a rat. Yet, they are playing the rats music on their island. lol
“Different”…..”unique”…..”good”…..”fine”….msc is “another option”…..you hated this cruise didn’t you Michael? Those are the Michael Kay words of death.
