Thanks for the video on the ship. I have never been on a cruise. I want to go to Mexico to see some of the Mayan Ruins. What line would you recommend for a first cruise to Mexico?
@IntheLoopPodcast All Adults. Was thinking about Royal Caribbean due to the entertainment, but I don't know. I would say the best line that isn't so complicated lol.
If you are looking for a more adult experience I probably wouldn't go Royal Caribbean as there ships (I have been on 2 in the past 2 months) and the have both been SWAMPED with kids. If you are looking for all adults, I would look into Celebrity, it is probably my favorite cruise line and while they allow kids onboard, there tend to be very few.
Had a terrible Christmas Dec. 2023 on it. It was all so very disorganized on embarkation - it took 8 hours waiting in line on our feet. And another 2.5 hours disembarkation. It is super crowded, bad food ( I mean left overs from previous days) and it took 4 days and multiple requests to get them to separate the beds in my cabin. Never again MSC!
When we bought the cruise it gave us the option for cruise fare + easy plus beverage + wifi for that cost. From what I’ve seen that is the best deal when cruising with MSC, buying the package (if offered) when buying the cruise fare
Thank you again for your wonderful cruise ship reviews. You guys are great narrators.👍 I just book the Divina today and the Magnifica yesterday😁 I'll ask you the same question as I did regarding the Magnifica, do you know if they had complimentary soft-serve ice cream at the buffet?
Sigh! You show all the kid shops like candy and stuffed animals but skip right over the jewelry and watches. Many of us look forward to buying jewelry on each cruise so I don't understand why so many of you skip right over the best part of each shop.
Seriously! You show a plastic boat! But skip over the jewelry? No one is watching your videos hoping to go on an expensive cruise to buy a plastic boat. You just lost me, moving on to the next video in hopes of some more serious content.
Let me rephrase that for you. " I very much appreciate it when cruise vloggers show the jewelry available on the ship. If you don't mind, please consider including it on your next cruise vlogs."
Just trying to help you out. The cruise industry sells hundreds of millions of dollars of jewelry on cruises every year. A red diamond was bought on an Alaskan cruise this past year. Jewelry is a very important part of cruising for many people. No one cares about the toys. They picked the first thing that looks cute for their grandkids, and then they spend serious time in the jewelry shop picking an expensive item for themselves. We want to see which brands of jewelry and watches they carry, do they have any unique items, do they have jewelry auctions, how much are they willing to negotiate. That’s a blog people will watch.

Thanks for this video on MSC Divina... I'm embarking on it in two days. I'm loving it before I experienced it.
Have a blast
Thanks for this comprehensive tour and review. We are doing the transatlantic on her next April. Is the new MSC terminal in Miami open yet?
It is not
Just got off MSc seashore it was the best time! Smooth embarkation and disembarkation food was good 🎉 try this ship you won’t be disappointed
Good to hear. I’m on the Seashore in March
Great detail, thanks. Unfortunately the volume of background noise was quite off putting.
Thanks for sharing the experience. May I know how about the photography sessions on board? Is it worth buying the photo package?
That, I really don’t know as we took no photos onboard
Thanks for the video on the ship. I have never been on a cruise. I want to go to Mexico to see some of the Mayan Ruins. What line would you recommend for a first cruise to Mexico?
I have never done the ruins in Mexico, so would have a hard time saying which ports & ships would be the best.
@IntheLoopPodcast Ah I see. Well how about a line for a first cruise in general?
I think it depends on a million things: budget, what your looking for in a cruise, traveling with kids or no kids, more party vs more relaxed etc

What month did you sail ?? Waters looked so rough
December
On a quest to watch all of the cruise videos?
You sound like Jim Carrey!
How did you get all that for $300

Confirmed lol I was on that sailing too. Did board until 7:30pm
Am going on a MSc cruise in March internet is so expensive $211 for 2 devices
When we bought the cruise it gave us the option for cruise fare + easy plus beverage + wifi for that cost. From what I’ve seen that is the best deal when cruising with MSC, buying the package (if offered) when buying the cruise fare
It is still super expensive just for browsing

Hmmmmn I don't remember seeing it on this ship
@@IntheLoopPodcast Thank you.
This couple complained about the lack of TV channels. Most people do not cruise to watch TV
Good video but all these ads suck!
Sigh! You show all the kid shops like candy and stuffed animals but skip right over the jewelry and watches. Many of us look forward to buying jewelry on each cruise so I don't understand why so many of you skip right over the best part of each shop.

Miss, go to your nearest mall, you’ll find jewelry there. Who watches a cruise tour to see jewelry?
Shows what you know! Nothing
