WATCH BEFORE CRUISING FROM CAPE TOWN | Boarding Day | 4-Night MSC South African Cruise | Family of 5
In this video, our family of 5 check out of our Cape Town hotel and get onboard a cruise ship in Cape Town, South Africa. There are a few hiccups along the way. Is this cruise off to a rocky start or what? Has the cruise even started? How’s the cruise food? How’s the sailaway party? This vlog provides answers to these questions and more!

Hey Trish! Thank you so much! Girrrllll… the feet 👀😫
Very nice looks like a really nice cruise! Sucks that you guys couldn’t leave port, but I love that the casino was still open in Port lol and we were laughing at the man with no shoes 😂

Right?! They were getting that money one way or another, and I don’t even know what to say about Mr. Barefoot. 😂 Thanks for watching! 🥰
Our boys really surprised us with eating their food.

That's the one thing that seems consistent about MSC...the muster drills...lol. Yes, this MSC sailing looked live! Looks like fun. That seafood salad looked good too. Yes, I had a great time on my one and only MSC sailing and looking forward to sailing again!

Girl… anxiety is real! Whew! Getting through that long embarkation process was such a relief! Thank you for watching!
The intro song is so catchy! Now we are singing along. I know it had to be a challenge trying to decide what to film. Okay let's get into the vlog.

Awesome! Happy you and your sister enjoyed your cruise and have another to look forward to! 🥰
Such a different experience sailing out of another country besides the muster and packing your bags on, this seems like the start of a fantastic vacation. Those folks were partying like it was carnival. Hope to see this vibe brought to the states

Hey fam! Thanks for coming through to the premiere. Right?! Once we got past embarkation and muster, it was a pretty good day. Definitely hope MSC brings this vibe and these chefs to the US too!
Oh those lines! Unbelievable. And I really wish they would refine that muster process. So nice that you guys all enjoyed your food. Those samosas and seafood salad looked delish. I’m going to give them another try and hope to enjoy more next time. They were getting that Jerusalema line dance. Lol Great vlog!

😂😂 Girl, even my prior MSC cruises didn’t have a muster drill like this. Ain’t never had one like that before in my life. Putting this vlog together had me all in my feelings again ‘cause of that darn muster drill… BUT, yes, the first day was still a good one! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much for joining us for the premiere! ❤️❤️❤️
This was a great vlog!! Great info. MSC has some boarding and muster drills but so affordable. That’s how we’re able to sail in Yacht Club. I will never be in NCL’s The Haven, cost too much for me and my house. Excited for the next vlogs!

Thank you @Ginas_World7 🥰 Right?! I really do think the value MSC offers is unmatched right now, especially when you look at the ports they offer. Yeah, those Haven prices are not for us right now, but we're definitely considering Yacht Club. Thanks so much for joining us for the premiere! Definitely looking forward to sharing more from this trip! Enjoy the rest of your week!🥰
Whew! A lot but it looks like a promising experience!

Which part was unusual? The embarkation line or the people walking barefoot during the muster drill or something else?
Not a fan of the muster…
