Great video. We've cruised about 5 times. We always try to get midship for our state room, hoping it'll be less rocky. We also aren't drinkers or gamblers, so 3 of our cruises have been Disney because we love the shows, but they are super expensive. No matter which cruise we've been on, my favorite parts are the quiet places where you just stand and look over the vastness of the ocean and beautiful sun rises and sunsets.

Same! We cruised Norwegian last year & didn't care for it. We prefer Disney hands down for the same reasons as you stated.
Some friends of ours always cruise the smaller cruise lines. This ship is the reason why. Way too big, too many people and walking miles to get anywhere! It’s fun watching your perspective and your review of things👍🏼😊
Walking on the gangway onto the ship is the best feeling of the week. I could see the excitement even with y’all as newbies. Eating in the main dinning room the 1st day is always slower, but in general it’s going to take 1 hour and half. On the luggage front a new thing is called “apple air tags”. You place them in your luggage and can track it on your phone and they cost around $30.
The first day is so chaotic but then it smooths out. It can be what you want relaxing or on the go go go!
I really like the smaller, older ships, less people and easier to make your away around
watched every video from this trip. Amazing. So glad you had a fun time. Love when Dawn says "bon voyage". You guys rule
Nice! Love the balcony room! Just seems very busy and noisy for me. Both of you looked so nice and yes, a long day. Thanks for sharing!😊

I love your joy for your first cruise. The room is very nice. Happy 50!!
We’re more Royal Caribbean peeps, MSC would not be our choice. Try Royal Caribbean next time I believe they also do cruises over seas. We recommend.
Fun fun!! Excited to see the rest of this journey!
Wow what a fun time!! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!! Glad they found your luggage Will. Looks amazing! God bless.

Went thru all with my daughter who just came back from going to Aruba. Many times she did not have phone service and could not record also. She felt like she was on the ship for 2 days after they were home.I would like to know how you 2 afford all those trips. Normal people can only afford one or so in their lifetime.
I think your state room is bigger than the first hotel room that you had in London. I know the bathroom on the ship is bigger than the one you had in London.😅
It was cool to see Jetty Park when you were leaving the port. I've been there before and it was exciting to see it from a different vantage point. I love the private balcony!❤❤❤
Loved my 50th Birthday cruise!!! I want to go again. BEST vacation EVER! I hope you have just as much fun as I did 🚢🛳❤

WOW! That boat is awesome. Beautiful inside out but like every cruise too many people. Is good to have that experience. I had it once many years ago with Norwegian Caribbean and that was enough but hey I don't regret it. Hope you have a great time and I'm just waiting for your next video. 😊 👍

Happy cruising you two. Looking forward to all your vidios. Nice room. I would love the balcony.
We just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas on Carnival out of Jacksonville. Had a great time. Smaller ship but so much easier to figure out. That was our 3rd Carnival Cruise. Really recommend cruising with Carnival. I have heard from others that MSC is kinda chaotic with the way they do things.

So nice to see your first time on a cruise. So cute. We love to cruise and explore the ship. Our last cruise was a 14 day to Alaska in Sept 22. Out of 8 in our group 6 ended up with covid, so be careful, and have fun.

My husband and I started cruising last year we visited Nassau also. We loved it. We have only cruised Carnival and have a trip booked for the new Venezia out of NY in October. I also have a girl cruise every spring now with my oldest friends. Went to Cozumel this year and taking Royal Carribean to Jamaica and Grand Cayman spring of 2024. The plan is to take some oversea cruises also. So I guess we were hooked with after our first cruise. Excited to try different cruise lines. I would love to see you guys take more cruises and share them.
Thanks. I always wanted to go on a cruise.I am going to enjoy seeing how things go. Happy Birthday Dawn. Enjoy.
Thanks for showing me your cruise video 📸
Great video W&D! I'd be interested in learning the various costs. Also, I like how you showed the people on the shore wishing bon voyage. Also, both your chunky framed glasses look great!

Went on my first cruise 40 years ago and swore I’d never do another, it was the cruise to nowhere & total nightmare!!! we moved to SE Florida years later & my husband & daughter talked me into doing weekend cruise out of Miami. We loved it!!! Have done too many to count because of living so nearby Ft. Lauderdale & Miami. We love Princess use to do Carnival, going to cruise Alaska on Holland this year, have done Princess there and loved it. If you don’t have a wonderful time try different lines.
