I just got off this ship on Sunday and I absolutely loved it! I had been hearing so many negative things about it and wasn't really all that excited to go but ended up having the best time. Food was good, entertainment & crew was amazing, ship was beautiful and met so many people from other countries with no issues at all.

Going on our first cruise period and going on msc seashore. Thanks for being so detailed about the what needs to be done bc me and my family are clueless as first time cruisers! ❤

Thanks for all this info!

im going in June and i can’t wait!

Your explanation of the business side of cruising was excellent and much appreciated.

Thank you for the muster drill tip! I went through the muster drill on the Meraviglia in November and it was very crowded. I will be using this tip on the Seashore in March.Great video!

Thank you so much for the vlog. The ship looks amazing. Cannot wait to see the next video.

Thanks Racquelle! I can only imagine that your group cruise is going to be amazing! Know that you’ve already gone above and beyond to compare the sister ships and the actual ship that you’ll be sailing and your guests/clients will have you even closer than normal. The MSC cruise ships are indeed beautiful. And the tucked away spots that allow you to still enjoy yourself and the ship without enjoying everyone else. I’m glad that I’m not very picky when it comes to eating, I mean outside of allergies, so the limited or repetitive food options would not be a great problem for me. Give me some basics for each meal time and I’ll be good. Great advice on the muster drill and activating credit cards and making reservations for speciality dining. And the limits on the dining packages. As always thanks for sharing. Stay blessed. ✌🏾🛳️🥰

Thanks for watching Keshia! And yes- after my experience on MSC Seaside, I definitely wanted to get on this ship to scope it out for my group. And I agree- I don’t cruise for food, so the repetition, as long as it is good, doesn’t bother me either.

That really is a nice interior cabin!! I love when cruise ships get rid of those plastic shower curtains!!!! Good information to know about MSC internet package too, a little confusing, thanks for clarity how you can’t swap out on devices! Good idea on heading to safety drill a little earlier to avoid getting caught up in that crowd; I feel jittery right now just thinking about it, I hate that group drill 😳 so after they scanned your card, you just walked back up to deck 15 from 6, or wait until elevators turned back on?? Thanks for sharing 😇

Oh yeah that key card thing is super new. The jungle pool was my favorite. It is salt water so you can really float. It is pretty deep.

Oh I know what I meant to ask. Do you have links for your group cruise? If I’m not scheduled to work I would love to go.

How wheelchair accessible do you think Seashore is? Did you see ramps up to the pool and hot tub levels? Were there lifts for the pool and hot tubs? We're on it this Feb. 4th.

Thank you for your amazing review ! My daughter and I are setting sail this May on our very first cruise in this ship! I admit I am a bit overwhelmed and nervous. We’ve never done anything like this but we are celebrating two years of me cancer free and going on as many cruises as possible is on my bucket list. You said you flew in…I know this is probably a stupid question, but was there a shuttle from the airport or did you take like an Uber😂

Congratulations on being 2 years cancer free! May you continue to stay healthy and happy! I use Cruise Control Transportation when I fly in to Orlando (there are a couple videos on my page if you search for them). They are the cheapest shuttle service in Orlando but excellent service! There are other shuttle services available as well but only use Cruise Control Transportation. You can also choose to Uber. It will be approximately $60 for an Uber that can fit 4 people. Have a great time!

I just got off this ship this morning and I won't be getting on another MSC ship. I think because the ship is filled with crystal, chrome, mirror and marble, it is very loud. If you have a trip planned bring earplugs for all the shows. The sound system is too loud. You did a pretty good job explaining the muster drill, but we were told that you had to watch the video, all at the same time and then dial a code into the phone before heading to the muster area. By that time, the elevators were not operational. I love that you explained that for the elevators you need to hit the floor you want for each person in your party. This was not explained anywhere and people were frustrated that elevators would stop and be full. We happened to be in an elevator the first day with a crew member and he told us that. We never heard or saw a written explanation anywhere. Which brings me to my next issue with the ship. The signage is terrible. There should have been a sign at each elevator, explaining the procedure. Other signage was sorely lacking and we spent a lot of time walking in circles. When you get off the elevators on your cabin floor, there are no signs indicating which way to go. You have to walk around the corner, read that those are the "odd" cabins and turn and go to the other side if you have an "even" cabin. There were no signs to any of the restaurants or any venue. Shops were located on decks 6,7, and 8 but if you wanted to return to a specific shop and didn't remember where it was, you would do a lot of stair climbing because the directory read , "Shops, 6,7,8". The food was not bad and often quite good, though one night I traded my fisherman's platter for an Indian dish because the calamari was rubber. We did find one quiet place to eat for free. Central Park is open for breakfast and lunch and is not a specialty restaurant. It was also the only restaurant where we were given paper menus without asking. We were expected to scan the wine and dinner menus at our tables. But, not everyone had their phone or internet. We were usually brought one menu for a table of eight. You were told to reserve a place at the shows but no one ever checked that you actually had a reservation. Now we had a nice clean room and I liked the shower.

Great video!! Parts 1 and 2 has a lot of information. I was wondering about the muster drill. If we can go to our muster designated area to have our card scanned before everyone comes out ofntheir rooms, do we still have to watch the video amd call them? Thanks again!

@MHFamilyAdventures

Ай бұрын

Thanks. You still have to watch the video and call them. What we do is watch our video before the muster drill. About 20 minutes before they make everyone go to the cabin and walk down the stairs to muster, we wait in the general area of the muster. They don’t scan cards until they’ve directed people to report to their muster. But we are always first in line and we avoid the crowds going to the actual muster station. When people are heading down to muster, we head up to our cabin to dial the number requested. Definitely saves time and from having to walk the stairs.

Hello Racquelle, you mentioned the buffet food and lack of variety, how is the main dining room and is that a up charge?

@MHFamilyAdventures

3 ай бұрын

Main dining room is included in your cost. The food is ok. But it depends on your preference and taste. It’s also not unlimited like other cruise lines. You can get 2 appetizers but if you request more than one entree then it’s $7 each. The portions tend to be small in the main dining room.

Does it have the mall like royal Caribbean

Would you suggest paying individually for the specialty dining or get the dining package

@MHFamilyAdventures

5 ай бұрын

Get the dining package. It’s cheaper- but it can be a little restrictive I’ll be posting the menus in the group later this week.

I don’t think it’s bad to admire other ships while you’re on a ship. One of the things I do before sailing is look and see what ships will be in the ports I’m in.

we are going in two weeks, the middle of June...this is our first cruise and we are taking our son as a high school graduation present...questions:.can someone who recently went confirm that the whatsapp app will work and you can communicate with your family that way? also, will a travel wi-fi connector work to share the internet connection, or does my travel party of three all need our own? also, do you guys lock your passport in the room safe, or have those portable masterlock safes that you can connect to a non moving pole or pipe in your room? thanks

Hello. Congrats to your son! WhatsApp will only work if you have an internet package. WiFi connectors will not work. Everyone will need to have wifi OR use the chat feature that is available on the app (I believe it’s still free). We just lock our passports in the safe.
