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!

    Love you all being transparent on how this cruise has differed (negatively & positively) from your other cruises with this line.

    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!

    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!🥰
