I just closed a good deal on a MSC Cruise and although I have cruise with royal Caribbean, I’ve never cruised with MSC. I found your channel looking for MSC Cruises and now I’m addicted to you guys! You became part of my day now been always coming back to check on new videos on this sea adventure of yours! Thank you guys for that!
I am with you, Jay. I love going on the boats but am more comfortable watching. When I was frequenting Bermuda I made friends with this young man who owned a big sailboat that he had as his business for the same thing as your catamaran. Every time I went back there, I called him, and no matter what he always made room for me to go and it was so much fun, especially when it was windy enough to use the sails. While everyone else snorkeled, I sat on the boat.
Thank you for this! I"ve been having a devil of a time trying to decide whether to do Fury or El Cielo on my Carnival Valor birthday cruise in Feb! I still don't know what I'm going to do, but thank you for this perfect idea of what this particular excursion is! Much appreciated
Been to cozumel several times and always just shop and eat...but next time I'll check out fury beach. Now that I know how tall ya'll are, I can't help but notice how other people look like shorties next to the statuesque dee. Lol
Thank you for this video guys. That water looked so inviting. This video makes me excited about my cruise in 94 days on the carnival glory!! I can't wait.
Thanks for showing this! I’ve wondered about these snorkeling catamaran excursions, and if I could stay on the catamaran if I wanted to. Snorkeling isn’t my thing either, but I like catamaran sailing, beaches, and drinks! Thankful you answered my question!
I loved seeing you do the Fury snorkeling catamaran. This was my very first port excursion in 2019 & my first successful snorkeling experience! My myself & four friends went & had a blast. They were making us special margaritas. Your boat looked packed! Did you guys dance on the front deck of the catamaran? Tons of fun on the way back. It was unreal drinking margaritas in the sun walking on a sandy beach at 10 am. I was hooked on cruising instantly!
Jay and Dee, thanks for doing a VLog on one of the MSC ships. I've always had the impression that the MSC cruise line is considered to be "lower end" compared to the Carnival and RCL Cruise Lines. What are your overall impressions of the MSC experience compared to Carnival and RCL Cruise Lines?
I went on the MSC Divina in December and I will give you my honest opinion. The ship was beautiful and the staff are awesome, but they're downfall is they need a good cruise director. Without one it was a boring trip. I have not booked another MSC because I was afraid that it would be that way across their fleet, but after finding this video I think I may give it a try. I am on my way to Miami right now to get on the Carnival Sunrise tomorrow!
I think you guys are getting to the same point as me with Cozumel. There was a time where I’d been to Cozumel so many times over a 5 year period that i felt like it was a second home. I’d get off the ship, get into a cab & know exactly where I was going, what I was doing, I used to eat at this tiny restaurant so often the guys working there knew who I was. I’ve probably been there 40 times. I actually have taken a 11 year break on cruises there so I’m getting ready to go back because I know it’s totally changed .
Your videos continue to make my husband and I want to cruise… Unfortunately we just canceled our February symphony of the seas cruise… Glad to be cruising through you and your videos🚢thank you!!!
Cant go wrong with a booze cruze. Looks like they took you to Money bar. That is a good shore snorkeling spot they just ask you to buy some food and drinks. I not a huge fan of the snorkeling in Cozumel but the scuba diving is amazing.
When we were last in Cozumel, we did the submarine (Yes, it's an actual sub which goes to about 150 feet depth). As we're not great swimmers, it was an excellent way to see many different fish and keep dry.
A huge thumbs up for correctly pronouncing Cay as KEE! Pronunciation matters and I appreciate you! That is the only way it is pronounced properly. RC is punking their passengers with their grotesque mispronunciation of Coco Cay. BTW, if you don't have an excursion or day beach club planned for Cozumel (Koh-zoo-mail, not Kah-) and are in port at San Miguel centro, I absolutely recommend lunch at Pescaderia San Carlos. One of the best freshest seafood restaurants! They serve fresh fish that was just caught that morning! It was originally recommended to us by the ship's officers. Prices are very affordable and cash only. Save by paying in pesos$, about 20 pesos for a USD $1 (5¢). And don't forget to pop in to the MEGA on your way back to the ship!
Awww - the Coati's came to see you!! How fun! Looks like this excursion was so fun you didn't want to leave - I totally understand that! Was the food extra? I think I heard you say the burgers were $11 each - sounds like they were yummy. The meal looked really good and those shows on board looked really GREAT!
What a fun day. I have confession. When you show the dining menu, I freeze it and review desserts. Then I guess which dessert each of you will have before that part of the video. I was right on this one with cheesecake and tiramisu.
So much pasta & carbs. Was there a lot of seafood on the buffet? Actually, how did you find the buffets? I keep seeing mixed reviews but I do hear that it’s a little light on protein.
New to your channel and a fan! What cameras are you both using in the water. Great footage! Also can you recommend brand for purchasing snorkel gear please? Many thanks!
Hi Again : Hate to keep bothering you , but one more question if I can. My wife wants to cancel our cruise on Seashore , so can you tell us at what capacity did you sail at ???? I need to assure her it will be safe & not crowded. Thanks In Advance. John
MSC frequently runs promotions that include the drink package, wi-fi, and other perks, so it would be a matter of watching for sales and specials on their website. The Trilogy package normally has to be added separately, but as we mentioned at some point in this series, MSC was nice enough to gift that to us for our sailing! We were super flattered they did that for us!! :D
No, it's just for the private usage of Fury Catamaran folks. You could try Paradise Beach Club on their all-inclusive or a la carte plans if you're into a beach and pool day in Cozumel!! :D
@@parodeejay Thanks so much. I had not heard great things about MSC's food and service but your experience is showing me otherwise. This ship is just so beautiful! It will be going on the list.
HELLO AGAIN : Really enjoyed your video today. As I told you previously we are sailing on Seashore January 22nd. QUESTION : My wife & I are fully vaccinated & boosted. Do we need proof of a negative covid test 2-3 days prior to boarding like RCL or do they make you take a test at terminal ????? Their website isn't that clear. Thank You In Advance. John
Is Grand Cayman on your itinerary? We're on the Seashore next month, western carrib and don't have Cozemuel on our sailing but Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Ochos Rio and Ocean Cay.
Was it hard to get on and off the catamaran? It’s always my fear when getting on and off boats from the water that I won’t have enough upper body strength. I’m a good swimmer but a bigger person so I tend to worry about that part.
@@parodeejay I really like them. Thank you for letting me know as I have been actively looking for myself a swim shirt to help combat the sun. Maybe Old Navy or some other retailer will watch and see there is a need for such cool and functional swimwear!
Enjoy your video. Have you seen Ben and David's video of MSC Grandiose? They were not happy with food, entertainment, or customer service - evidently, they were yelled at for volgging on more than one occasion. Hard to believe, they seem so nice. Did you have any of their experiences?
No, not at all! Dining room food was average, specialty was fantastic, and no one even gave us a strange look or anything for vlogging. The theater shows acrobatic portions were great, and we loved the singing in the cabaret each night. I wonder if there's any difference in the European market or mentality versus sailing from Florida. Weird!!
We're usually tippers, but it's personal discretion. If you feel like the team didn't go above and beyond to create a great experience, I wouldn't feel compelled to tip!! :P
We just did this in August. Did not like it and it was not worth the money. Only saw 2 kinds of fish and they only came around when the photographer sprinkled food. I love you guys and Dee likes fish like I do. I hope you time was better.
Dee enjoyed the snorkeling overall, though it was mostly sergeant majors, blue tangs, and a few other fish that we see all the time whose names I forget, ha ha... I noticed in the editing that a lot of the fish were down at the bottom and that could make them hard to see, but some of them definitely got in her face even though we didn't see anyone feeding them!! :P ~Jay
Love the quick view that was behind you of the water toys and the ship when you were doing your water spin

Love your cheery, upbeat videos! Keep them coming, please!
We did Fury catamaran on our Sept cruise there. It was just the best ever! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! I"ve been having a devil of a time trying to decide whether to do Fury or El Cielo on my Carnival Valor birthday cruise in Feb! I still don't know what I'm going to do, but thank you for this perfect idea of what this particular excursion is! Much appreciated
El Cielo!! Its a new excursion for Carnival but El Cielo is Spanish for HEAVEN and it fits its title . 💗
Thank you for the video! We booked this for the Symphony of the Seas Cruise coming up in a couple of weeks.
Hello Hay & Dee Thanks to your videos I Booked on MSC Seashore on August 20 2022 I feel more confident with all the videos so far about the ship
Love the options in Cozumel! You both nailed it for another option besides a all-inclusive beach day! TY!!!
Thank you! My friend and I are in process of rebooking our cruise to Cozumel and are thinking of switching to this excursion if it’s available.
Been to cozumel several times and always just shop and eat...but next time I'll check out fury beach.
Now that I know how tall ya'll are, I can't help but notice how other people look like shorties next to the statuesque dee. Lol
Dee talking to all the fish was just the best! 🤿🤿
Agreed. Love the catamarans at cozumel. I will definitely do that again. Strong drinks and dancing equal nap!! Love cozumel in general.
Thank you for this video guys. That water looked so inviting. This video makes me excited about my cruise in 94 days on the carnival glory!! I can't wait.
Thank you so much for these vlogs

When I taught school in Panama, the coatis would come to the outdoor picnic tables and clean up after the kids ate lunch. So cute!

12:44 easy now Jay 😂😂
That's made me really want to go snorkeling again - no chance of that at the moment!! Looked like a great excursion.
Your videos continue to make my husband and I want to cruise… Unfortunately we just canceled our February symphony of the seas cruise… Glad to be cruising through you and your videos🚢thank you!!!
Cant go wrong with a booze cruze. Looks like they took you to Money bar. That is a good shore snorkeling spot they just ask you to buy some food and drinks. I not a huge fan of the snorkeling in Cozumel but the scuba diving is amazing.
You're exactly right - that is international terminal. Looks like a fun day! 😀
When we were last in Cozumel, we did the submarine (Yes, it's an actual sub which goes to about 150 feet depth). As we're not great swimmers, it was an excellent way to see many different fish and keep dry.
The water and snorkeling looked wonderful!!
Looks like you had a great day. Put this on our bucket list. 🐠🐟🌊
Another great video, just love the way you do them!

I want to cruise so bad, hubby not ready yet. That water was beautiful.

I think I heard you say the burgers were $11 each - sounds like they were yummy. The meal looked really good and those shows on board looked really GREAT!
Awesome as always!
Love your work guys. Watched your 2019 port guide for Cozumel. Which terminal did Seashore dock in this cruise please?
You said the magic word…CATAMARAN!
Seemed like a wonderful day 🥰🥰🥰
Would love to see a video comparing the cruise lines you’ve been on 😊
Thanks for another great video
That was a great tour. Was that Fury’s private beach? Water looked very clear. Thanks for sharing.😎
It is, yes! Only for guests of the Fury Catamaran!! :D
@@parodeejay great, thanks.
What a fun day. I have confession. When you show the dining menu, I freeze it and review desserts. Then I guess which dessert each of you will have before that part of the video. I was right on this one with cheesecake and tiramisu.
Love Dee's swim outfit. Where can I get it?
So much pasta & carbs. Was there a lot of seafood on the buffet? Actually, how did you find the buffets? I keep seeing mixed reviews but I do hear that it’s a little light on protein.
Hey guys just love your vlogs. Any January cruises coming up?
Still working out the details on fitting in a sailing or three between now and our California adventures in mid-February!! :P
New to your channel and a fan! What cameras are you both using in the water. Great footage! Also can you recommend brand for purchasing snorkel gear please? Many thanks!
Hi Again : Hate to keep bothering you , but one more question if I can. My wife wants to cancel our cruise on Seashore , so can you tell us at what capacity did you sail at ???? I need to assure her it will be safe & not crowded. Thanks In Advance. John
Our sailing was about 30% full. Definitely didn’t feel crowded to us!! :D
Your wife is so cute, so upbeat, seemingly ready for anything. You make a fun couple.
Question, which I should've asked on part 2 (I believe), but how did you get the trilogy and drunk package included in your fair?
MSC frequently runs promotions that include the drink package, wi-fi, and other perks, so it would be a matter of watching for sales and specials on their website. The Trilogy package normally has to be added separately, but as we mentioned at some point in this series, MSC was nice enough to gift that to us for our sailing! We were super flattered they did that for us!! :D
Always love your videos. Do you know if you can go to this beach club if not on the catamaran?
No, it's just for the private usage of Fury Catamaran folks. You could try Paradise Beach Club on their all-inclusive or a la carte plans if you're into a beach and pool day in Cozumel!! :D
@@parodeejay Thanks so much. I had not heard great things about MSC's food and service but your experience is showing me otherwise. This ship is just so beautiful! It will be going on the list.

As of right now, you must provide a negative test upon arrival at the port, yes indeed!!
Is Grand Cayman on your itinerary? We're on the Seashore next month, western carrib and don't have Cozemuel on our sailing but Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Ochos Rio and Ocean Cay.
It was originally, but Grand Cayman was not accepting ships at all when we sailed, so it was replaced with a sea day.
Was it hard to get on and off the catamaran? It’s always my fear when getting on and off boats from the water that I won’t have enough upper body strength. I’m a good swimmer but a bigger person so I tend to worry about that part.
Dee, where do you get your swim shirts from and are they spf?
Mostly Old Navy from many moons ago, no longer made these days. They do have some form of sun protection as far as I know.
@@parodeejay I really like them. Thank you for letting me know as I have been actively looking for myself a swim shirt to help combat the sun. Maybe Old Navy or some other retailer will watch and see there is a need for such cool and functional swimwear!

I always knew you two were closet skinny-dippers.😊
What is the excursions price please
👍🏻❤️🙏🏻
Next time you are in Cozumel - check out www.cozumelh2o.com/ for some great snorkeling!
Curious about your personal policy on excursion tipping?
We're usually tippers, but it's personal discretion. If you feel like the team didn't go above and beyond to create a great experience, I wouldn't feel compelled to tip!! :P
I've always wondered how Dee talks under water with her mouth piece in?? ⚓👙🐠🐟🏖
Have you even tried scuba diving
We just did this in August. Did not like it and it was not worth the money. Only saw 2 kinds of fish and they only came around when the photographer sprinkled food. I love you guys and Dee likes fish like I do. I hope you time was better.

@@parodeejay Yeah thats what I saw. I think I am just spoiled from Roatan which has so many different types of fish its crazy. Im glad she liked it!!
