Fantastic tour! We're sailing on the Seashore in June and this is by far the best and most thorough ship tour I've found! Feeling so excited (and prepared) for our trip after watching. Glad to have found your channel, just subscribed and looking forward to checking out your Florida videos as well as a fellow Floridian! 🙂
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and encouraging comment. We hope to increase our cruise related comment over then next several months and comments like these really give us the motivation to do it! We hope appreciate the sub, and we hope you enjoy our other Florida content as well.
Happy 35k subscribers. Watching with mom on her 90th birthday weekend on her 65” TV. It’s like we are on this cruise with you! Mom took a lot of cruises back in the day but nothing like this one.
Thanks, Bob. We finally figured out a way to be able to edit our massive video projects with 4K footage without bogging down our computer, so the last couple episodes (and hopefully all future episodes) will be in 4K. We hope it looks good on the 65" TV!
We cruised on this ship with a group of friends last January. We book the fantastica experience and we purcahsed the drinking package and wifi. We greatly enjoyed our four days cruise. The best meal was at the Mexican restaurant. The best Margarita was at the bar right across the restaurant, The overnight stay at the Ocean Cay was wonderful, but the light show was cancelled due to technical dificulties. We enjoy our cruise so much that I booked on the next cruise desk for Oct.2025. This time I booked a MSC Yatch Club cabin. We also had booked prior to this cruise a Fantastica balcony for us and a interior cabin for my mom for Oct. 2024. Watching your Seaside video before boarding the Seashore was very helpful in exploring the ship. Thank you again fro sharing your experiences
Great to hear the positive feedback on the Mexican Restaurant. That's the one place we had never really heard anyone talk about eating at, so it's great to hear a positive review! The itineraries that do an overnight on the private island are the best in our opinion, but when you're in the Yacht Club, it really doesn't matter much what the itinerary is because you'll never want to get off the ship 😂 We can't wait to hear about your future cruise experiences!
We sailed on the MSC Seashore back in the 1st week of December 2023. The ship is just beautiful, and the service was outstanding! I posted a UA-cam video review of our Aurea Balcony cabin with a whirlpool on my YT Channel. We also had a walk-in closet and a bathtub in the bathroom! We will be sailing again MSC Seashore this coming December! I enjoyed your tour of the MSC Seashore! Love that ship!
Nice! Of all the cruises we've been on I think we've only had a bathtub once... and I can't even remember for sure which ship it was on. We may just have to book an Aurea balcony on our next MSC Cruise. We hope you have another great one in December!
Your video was fantastic. I like to be well informed before doing anything. So I've scoured FB groups and YT videos. This is hands down the best video for Seashore. No theatrics, just great info. And loved the snap transition.
Wow thank you so much for this incredibly kind and encouraging comment! We always try to keep our videos informational and entertaining without the drama, and we're happy to know there are people out there who appreciate that!
Never been on a cruise but your ship tour would be so helpful to anyone planning a trip. You are so thorough and provide lots of helpful tips! Great video!
Thanks Ramune. I doubt we're convincing too many non-cruisers to get on these ships, but we hopefully are helping people prepare and get excited for their upcoming cruises. At least that's the goal!
We are booked for May 26th. My daughter is getting married on the cruise. This video helped! Im the kind of person who wants to know as much as possible ahead of time, so thank you very much!
Thank you for making such amazing videos!!! We sail on our first MSC cruise on March 28th. Since we are celebrating our 15th anniversary, we booked the yacht club. We can't wait for the ship, cruise relaxatio, and possibility of a rocket launch before we sail away.
What a wonderful way to celebrate your 15th anniversary. We hope you enjoy the Yacht Club as much as we did! We were lucky enough to catch a rocket launch on our most recent Norwegian Cruise... we had no idea it was even happening until the captain announced it prior to sail-away. It was a pretty awesome experience, and we sure do hope you get to experience it too!
Cruising on the Seashore with friends and family in early August 2024. We are excited to check it out as it will be our first with MSC and our first cruise away from Norwegian in about seven years. This ship looks nice, can't wait to see that jungle room! .
Thanks for sharing, Chris! We hope you have an awesome time on the Seashore, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you return from your cruise!
This was the best tour of the Seashore I've seen, very well organized and easy to follow, the use of the deck plans is brilliant! Going on her in December and will take advantage of your tips.
I cruise 🚢 solo on this ship on August 25th looking forward to it thanks for making this video it seems as if it takes a lot of time and thought to put it together this well
Oh wow just a few days away! We hope you enjoy your cruise on the Seashore just as much as we did. Thank you for the kind and encouraging comment. We really appreciate it!
We booked the MSC Seashore for next week to the Bahamas June 6th to 9th we cannot wait! My fiancé has cruised before and for me I just had a one-night cruise long ago so it’s my first real cruise!
I've never been on a cruise. There's a couple of things stopping me. #1 I'm not much of a people person. #2 I have no one to go with me. #3 I get lost in the local mall. I'd be sooo lost on a cruise ship. #4 I don't like people (I already mentioned this but it's important) I enjoyed this video tho
Thank you! Very well-done video. We will be there on June 30th.We have not found that much great info in the two weeks we have been looking at this cruise. thanks
We waiting for you guys in Bimini’s port we would love to have you guys on our cruising schedule seriously 😳 fantastic 🇧🇸 your cruise ship are always fun and very full! We can see you enjoying much better vacations in the Bahamas Baby
We're glad you enjoyed the video. We were just in Bimini a few weeks back on our Celebrity Reflection tour, and we loved it. Hopefully we'll make it back there sometime soon!
Yes thank you so much, Kristen. You are right, it should have read March 23. We've made the correction. We hope you have a wonderful time sailing on the Seashore in June!
We were on this last year as we live in Palm Coast, so close to Port Canaveral. We are going again on the March 30th sailing. We normally book forward, but after watching your vid we are booking mid to aft. By the way your vids are the BEST ship tours I've watched. Your editing must be a lot of work, and looks very professional. Love the little cartoon couple Also our fav entertainment on any ship we've been on is the dueling pianos with the same team that's in your vid. We would eat in the dining, then run for seats at the dueling pianos, then go the shine bar for evening shows.
Wow thank you so much for supporting our channel and taking the time to share this kind and encouraging comment! The edit in these videos definitely is intensive, so it's always nice when people notice. We would have to agree that the dueling piano couple on the Seashore were amazing. We aren't always huge dueling piano fans, but on that cruise we were!
That was fun! Another wonderful cruise video...I always enjoy them. As another commenter said, this ship looks a bit too frenetic for me. All the levels and shops and people, oh, my! I would love to see Ocean Cay during the night, though, so I would definitely consider doing an MSC cruise during school days if the ship docked overnight there. I am booked for a May cruise on Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady and am very excited about that! Would love to see y'all do a tour of one of the VV ships. Thanks, again, y'all, for a fun cruise tour! 🙂
Thanks, Rhonda. Yeah, that ship can feel a bit chaotic at times, especially when there are a lot of kids on board. That said, we're getting to know all the ins and outs of these ships by now and are able to avoid the crowds for the most part. We're so happy to hear you booked a cruise! We definitely have plans to sail on Virgin Voyages someday. Once we are confident that the revenue from the videos we make on the ship will at least match the cost of the cruise, we'll be on one!
We're thinking of booking on the Seashore in Feb or March 2025. I really like the look of the ship. It would be the largest ship we've ever sailed on. Another aspect I like is the private island that doesn't appear to be over developed into a theme park. ❤ I will be watching your dining reviews as that is such an important part of cruising.😂 Thanks for filming such a thorough walk through!😊❤
We're so glad you discovered our channel and we hope our videos help you to decide if the Seashore is the right cruise for you. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thank you so much! I got the necklace at Christy's Enchanted Notions on Central Ave in St. Pete. Unfortunately though, every time I've been back they have not had it. I would have bought at least one more if they did!
Excellent video!! Thank you both for taking the time to create and publish on UA-cam. New cruiser here, last month went on our first. We live near Tampa now so did one of those essentially booze cruises simply to prep for our Alaskan cruise in July. Having owned larger boats forever, the cruise ship experience is what I have been looking for for twenty years. Wife can’t break away so I am doing a solo cruise on the Seashore the end of May! Your video is wonderfully helpful. I love how well organized it is and your voice is pleasant and easy to listen to. My wife loves your sun dress btw! Thanks again for your hard work, I am subscribing and looking forward to watching your precious and future videos.
Thank you so much for the kind comment! We recently did one of the Tampa "Booze Cruises" ourselves... but without a drink package 😬. We hope our video helps you make the most of your time on the Seashore! It's a massive nearly brand new ship and is a completely different experience than sailing on any of the older/smaller ships that can fit under the skyway. As long as you aren't expecting quick service or great traditional American food, I think you'll have a great time!
@@Explorcation thanks Jamie! I didn’t do the drink package either. During your video and other reading I’ve noted the service differences, although the great thing for me is I tend not to require a lot of quick service anyway. Keeps my blood pressure lower. And yeah, Grandeur of the Seas is the oldest ship in the RCI fleet, it shows but I wasn’t there for that. Likewise, after watching your video, I feel like I’ll be cruising on the opposite end of the spectrum from Grandeur. Having had no previous experience, we planned to stay aboard in Cozumel and explore the ship. By the time we got there there were no secrets. The Seashore however, wow!! Thanks for the reply!!
@@nowakezoneforever6021 going from an older RCL to a newer MCS will be quite different! It will take you awhile to fully explore the Seashore 😁 If you go into a MSC cruise knowing the service and food will be little different then I think you will have a great time. Take your time and enjoy it!
This will be our 1st MSC cruise. What can we expect as surprise charges? We have the drink package. Carnival we had drink packages plus paid tips upfront. We still ended up with a few hundred dollars in charges on my credit when we got back to port
We've never had any charges on our card other than gratuities on our MSC cruises, other than drinks the one time we didn't have the drink package. That said, I'd still check your balance the morning before you leave the ship to make sure you don't have any extra charges on it. You should be able to view all your charges on the stateroom TV. If you do see any charges you don't recognize, try to get it taken care of at the customer service desk.
Hi Jaime and Skylar Thank you for making these awesome videos. I greatly appreciate your efforts and creativity. I really enjoy watching them. Quick question, when you booked with MSC this time, did you receive an email from them again with the offer to bid for upgrade for Yacht Club? I know that’s how you got into YC last time. I’m just curious if MSC excluded you to bid again this time since you were previously successful through bidding for YC last time. Is it one and done with? Thanks for your time.
Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging comment. Yes, we did get an email regarding bidding on the Yacht Club, and once again, we did put in a bid. This time; however, our bid was not accepted. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Thank you for this video!! We have a 4 night booked in October, first time MSC ships, last one was a Disney cruise 12+ years ago! I have a question regarding food- the buffet is open for breakfast and lunch but not dinner? We will be assigned one of the 4 complimentary restaurants for dinner? We have a 7 year old and want to make sure I understand what to expect
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching. Your cruise will be hear before you know it! The buffet is open for dinner as well! Most people choose to dine in the main dining room for dinner, but sometimes when we aren't in the mood for the whole sit-down hour plus dining experience we do eat at the buffet. It is rarely busy for dinner and often times you can find some of the same items that they serve in the main dining room!
Bahamas on the whole is a miraculous paradise within itself Bimini is a totally awesome gem to add to its kingdom like our sister “Cove Atlantis” so please do come back and visit us MSC cruises are the BEST so a lot more of this Bimini welcomes you all so enjoy continuous and endless vacations and swim with pigs feed iguanas enjoy massages and so on🇧🇸
Wonderful job as always! You might actually convince me to try MSC again :) My big question is this. How much of a letdown was it not having all the amenities of the Yacht Club available to you as compared to your last MSC cruise? Did you feel...left out?
Thanks, Dan... and great question. We honestly we quite worried that our most recent cruise was going to seem pretty terrible in comparison, so we were mentally prepared and were telling ourselves that this one was just a "work trip". But honestly we still enjoyed the cruise much more than we thought we would (even without the drink package). But I think for us, any day that we're not sitting at a desk all day is a good day!
Carnival Diamond guest going on our 1st MSC cruise on the Seashore. Got a great deal, but some of the negative reviews are making me a little nervous. Should I be?!
If you've done your research I wouldn't be. MSC has it's fair share of both pros and cons, but if you know what to expect and try to focus on enjoying the things they do well, you should have a great time!
Regarding the drinks package, it's important to recall whether taxes are charged on beverages when the ship is docked at an island for the day. If you opt for a drink, try to remember if there's an additional tax applied or something similar. or its only when you leave the first day of the trip ? thank you.. :)
There were things we liked and things we didn't. We actually have another episode talking about our overall MSC experiences. In case you haven't found that episode yet here it is: ua-cam.com/video/f4bJYbwH30I/v-deo.html In general though we would sail MSC again, as we've found the prices to be quite reasonable.
I heard there was free soft serve ice cream at venchi around the side that no one really knows. True or not true? Also do we have to do something to connect our credit card? I heard people say something about issues getting off because they did not do something. What do we have to do? We sail in June.
Now that you say that, I think we may have heard something about that as well, but I don't think we ever actually went around the side to look for it. I (Jamie) was able to consistently get soft service ice cream in the main buffet though. There was always a line for it, and it was always good!
@@johnnyp727 yw, hopefully the person in your party is ready to get some steps in, it can be quite the trek from the lower decks to the upper decks, but it can be done!
Very comprehensive review. I tend to review ships more for the quality and service etc. I use to work in corporate and on the ships for a major cruise line for over 10 years , and have been on some 14 cruise lines, I generally find msc food quality below industry standards, their service not as good partly because of the large number of foreign ( common to all ships) staff that isn’t as knowledged or as fluent in English. The ships are beautiful but the buffets tend to be chaotic with difficulty finding tables, often not cleaned promptly enough repetitive food and poor quality for the most part. Staff and officers are not as sociable and don’t interact with guests such as on princess for example. I could go on but generally for the price which is the main reason many Americans choose them they give you a lot for the bang just not at the same level as other cruise lines do for higher prices. Still they have enough activities in general and some unique activities to do and for the most part provide a decent although not refined cruise experience.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective! We agree MSC ships are beautiful and they offer a lot of bang for your buck. You may not find the highest quality of food and service as you'll find on more expensive cruises, but it would not be reasonable to expect to.
It felt pretty chilly (but refreshing) to us. Our guess is that it is not heated, but we don't know for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
No... but we certainly understand why you may think so😂. We actually address it in 5:38 of the video, in case you missed that part! We experienced some major deja vu for sure!
I think a lot of people feel that way with these massive ships, and understandably so! That's a big part of the reason why we make these tour videos... to help people know there way around a little bit before they ever step foot on the ship!
We definitely understand that it's not for everyone Doug. We recently went on a similarly priced Carnival cruise. The Carnival ship was much older, smaller, and there were a LOT of things we missed about sailing on one of the newer MSC ships. That said, the service was great compared to our MSC cruises, and we loved the made to order tacos and burgers and the variety of live music available around the ship. It just reminds us that every cruise line/ship has their pros and cons, and which cruise line is better all depends on where your priorities lie!
Sorry but I just got off the seashore I can’t disagree more. My happiest day was when we got on and when we got off. So basically it was my first and last time on MSc. The closet is small, there is no self service laundry facilities. The MSC for Me app sucks. Web check in needs redesign. The bar service was slow. The buffet was the same every day. Plus whose idea was it to put Guest Services where the main Atrium is located it was so loud you had to yell at the rep.
Sorry to hear about your experience Roger. We do agree that the app leaves a bit to be desired, and that the location of the guest service desk does present from challenges. We also have experienced better bar service on other cruise lines. That said, when the price is considered, we found this to be one of the best value ships we've ever sailed on and would absolutely sail on it again. We are curious to hear which cruise line and ships you enjoy most though, as we do plan on booking a few more cruises in 2024.
I have cruised Princess, Carnival, NCL, Holland America, Cunard QM2. For me and my wife Princess Cruise out shines them all. The medallion that they have now works great. I like the Hi Roger whenever I walk up to the bar or any of the dinning rooms, and it will unlock your cabin door when you walk up to it. The check in procedure is easy and does a whole lot more. It took me several tries to get my security picture taken only to have them take it again at the port. Look I understand that people want value for their dollars. I get it, but for me I feel like I wasted 3 grand. Here one more thing my son and his family joined us on the cruise. No one told him that when you attached your CC to the kids Cruise card that you need to set a limit for their spending and you only do that at Guest Services. His final bill for a 7 day cruise came to 1800.00.
@@rogeryannett7212 WOW... I think we might be done cruising with MSC if we had that experience as well... putting a limit on the kids card is a really good tip that we'll be sure to share with those sailing with kids on MSC. And thanks for sharing about your cruise experience with Princess. We've sailed Celebrity a few times (which we hear is on par with Princess) and loved it, but have been itching to sail on Princess for a while now. We're definitely even more motivated to finally get on a Princess ship after hearing about that medallion. It sounds wonderful.
I liked your videos, however what I really don’t like is that each video your voice is like Siri, just doesn’t sound natural. No bad intentions, I like your videos, but just hope you can change this. Thanks
The worst cruise line. Went back in November and for sure no selecting MSC ever again. The service was bad at the main dining, the shows were boring (we walked out on 2 of them), they ran out of the beer or soda of your preference and the food by the end of the cruise was recycled. Ice cream time from 4pm to 6pm limitation that made lines long. The only good thing is the pizza, the Mexican restaurant at an additional cost and the room staff. If you want to waste your money go ahead.
Yeah, if slower service and bad shows will ruin a cruise for you, MSC probably isn't your cruise line. We've been on 5 MSC cruises now and have really gotten a good feel for their strengths and weaknesses. We've found that when you have the right expectations and stick to the things they do well, MSC offers really good value for the money. That said, we don't cruise for the shows, and we can deal with slow service when it means saving a few hundred bucks on a cruise.

I sailed on it last month and had a great cruise. The private island is gorgeous. Very stable ship for smooth sailing. I would sail on it again.
It sounds like you enjoyed it just as much as we did, George. We're glad to hear you had such a great experience.

Seashore is very similar to the Seaside. Both are beautiful.
Yes, they certainly do have a lot of similarities, and we do agree that both are beautiful ships!
Great review, thank you. Looking forward to our cruise in May.
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. We hope you have a great cruise in May... just a couple months away!
Love the video! You guys always bring it. That snap transition at 5:15 or so was STELLAR
Thank you so much, Bryant. Always appreciate feedback like this!
just booked my first cruise ever for September on the seashore. the cruise is for our anniversary and I'm so excited
We hope you have a fantastic time!

Going on the Seashore in November for 3 nights Bahamas cruise first time on MSC can’t wait thanks for the videos
November is a great time to cruise! We hope our video helps you make the most out of your cruise on the Seashore!
Booked for 12-8 to 12-15 on the seashore, was on the Meraglivia beginning of May , really loved that ship also.
We are glad you loved the Meraviglia and hope you have a great time on the Seashore!
Looking at possibly going on the Seashore soon, this is super helpful to get an idea how to take advantage of a short 4 day cruise
We're really glad you found this video to be helpful. If you do decide to book on the Seashore, we hope you enjoy it every bit as much as we did!
Then you so much. That was a great 👍 tour
Thanks, Rich. We're glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the tour. We will board this ship in 17 days can't wait.

I've never been on a cruise. There's a couple of things stopping me. #1 I'm not much of a people person. #2 I have no one to go with me. #3 I get lost in the local mall. I'd be sooo lost on a cruise ship. #4 I don't like people (I already mentioned this but it's important) I enjoyed this video tho
We're glad that our video allowed you to get a bit of the cruise experience without actually having to go on a cruise and be around a bunch of people!
Thank you! Very well-done video. We will be there on June 30th.We have not found that much great info in the two weeks we have been looking at this cruise. thanks
Thank you so much for watching. Your cruise is sooo close, we hope you have a great time!
We waiting for you guys in Bimini’s port we would love to have you guys on our cruising schedule seriously 😳 fantastic 🇧🇸 your cruise ship are always fun and very full! We can see you enjoying much better vacations in the Bahamas Baby
We're glad you enjoyed the video. We were just in Bimini a few weeks back on our Celebrity Reflection tour, and we loved it. Hopefully we'll make it back there sometime soon!
Did you mean to say March 23 for your next video? Sailing on the Seashore in June- can’t wait! Ocean Cay is by far our favorite!
Yes thank you so much, Kristen. You are right, it should have read March 23. We've made the correction. We hope you have a wonderful time sailing on the Seashore in June!
Just booked on the Seashore. Your video helped so much!
That is awesome! Thank for watching, we hope you have a great time.
We were on this last year as we live in Palm Coast, so close to Port Canaveral. We are going again on the March 30th sailing. We normally book forward, but after watching your vid we are booking mid to aft. By the way your vids are the BEST ship tours I've watched. Your editing must be a lot of work, and looks very professional. Love the little cartoon couple Also our fav entertainment on any ship we've been on is the dueling pianos with the same team that's in your vid. We would eat in the dining, then run for seats at the dueling pianos, then go the shine bar for evening shows.
Wow thank you so much for supporting our channel and taking the time to share this kind and encouraging comment! The edit in these videos definitely is intensive, so it's always nice when people notice. We would have to agree that the dueling piano couple on the Seashore were amazing. We aren't always huge dueling piano fans, but on that cruise we were!
Great format!
Thank you, Cindi! We're glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking the time to comment!
That was fun! Another wonderful cruise video...I always enjoy them. As another commenter said, this ship looks a bit too frenetic for me. All the levels and shops and people, oh, my! I would love to see Ocean Cay during the night, though, so I would definitely consider doing an MSC cruise during school days if the ship docked overnight there. I am booked for a May cruise on Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady and am very excited about that! Would love to see y'all do a tour of one of the VV ships. Thanks, again, y'all, for a fun cruise tour! 🙂
Thanks, Rhonda. Yeah, that ship can feel a bit chaotic at times, especially when there are a lot of kids on board. That said, we're getting to know all the ins and outs of these ships by now and are able to avoid the crowds for the most part. We're so happy to hear you booked a cruise! We definitely have plans to sail on Virgin Voyages someday. Once we are confident that the revenue from the videos we make on the ship will at least match the cost of the cruise, we'll be on one!
We're thinking of booking on the Seashore in Feb or March 2025. I really like the look of the ship. It would be the largest ship we've ever sailed on. Another aspect I like is the private island that doesn't appear to be over developed into a theme park. ❤
I will be watching your dining reviews as that is such an important part of cruising.😂
Thanks for filming such a thorough walk through!😊❤
We're so glad you discovered our channel and we hope our videos help you to decide if the Seashore is the right cruise for you. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Loved your video!! Would also love to know where you got your necklace❤
Thank you so much! I got the necklace at Christy's Enchanted Notions on Central Ave in St. Pete. Unfortunately though, every time I've been back they have not had it. I would have bought at least one more if they did!
Thank you for this video. It is very informative. 🙂
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, Tracy! We're really glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video!! Thank you both for taking the time to create and publish on UA-cam.
New cruiser here, last month went on our first. We live near Tampa now so did one of those essentially booze cruises simply to prep for our Alaskan cruise in July. Having owned larger boats forever, the cruise ship experience is what I have been looking for for twenty years.
Wife can’t break away so I am doing a solo cruise on the Seashore the end of May! Your video is wonderfully helpful. I love how well organized it is and your voice is pleasant and easy to listen to. My wife loves your sun dress btw!
Thanks again for your hard work, I am subscribing and looking forward to watching your precious and future videos.
Thank you so much for the kind comment! We recently did one of the Tampa "Booze Cruises" ourselves... but without a drink package 😬. We hope our video helps you make the most of your time on the Seashore! It's a massive nearly brand new ship and is a completely different experience than sailing on any of the older/smaller ships that can fit under the skyway. As long as you aren't expecting quick service or great traditional American food, I think you'll have a great time!
@@Explorcation thanks Jamie! I didn’t do the drink package either. During your video and other reading I’ve noted the service differences, although the great thing for me is I tend not to require a lot of quick service anyway. Keeps my blood pressure lower. And yeah, Grandeur of the Seas is the oldest ship in the RCI fleet, it shows but I wasn’t there for that. Likewise, after watching your video, I feel like I’ll be cruising on the opposite end of the spectrum from Grandeur. Having had no previous experience, we planned to stay aboard in Cozumel and explore the ship. By the time we got there there were no secrets. The Seashore however, wow!! Thanks for the reply!!
@@nowakezoneforever6021 going from an older RCL to a newer MCS will be quite different! It will take you awhile to fully explore the Seashore 😁 If you go into a MSC cruise knowing the service and food will be little different then I think you will have a great time. Take your time and enjoy it!
Going on a 7 day in 14 days c love the video
Woohoo! We hope the video helps you make the most of your cruise!
Thank you very much. Great job and very helpful.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Wonderful 👌👍
Thank you!
Great overview! We subscribed!
We're glad you enjoyed the video and really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thanks for the sub!
This will be our 1st MSC cruise. What can we expect as surprise charges? We have the drink package. Carnival we had drink packages plus paid tips upfront. We still ended up with a few hundred dollars in charges on my credit when we got back to port
We've never had any charges on our card other than gratuities on our MSC cruises, other than drinks the one time we didn't have the drink package. That said, I'd still check your balance the morning before you leave the ship to make sure you don't have any extra charges on it. You should be able to view all your charges on the stateroom TV. If you do see any charges you don't recognize, try to get it taken care of at the customer service desk.
Hi Jaime and Skylar
Thank you for making these awesome videos. I greatly appreciate your efforts and creativity. I really enjoy watching them.
Quick question, when you booked with MSC this time, did you receive an email from them again with the offer to bid for upgrade for Yacht Club? I know that’s how you got into YC last time.
I’m just curious if MSC excluded you to bid again this time since you were previously successful through bidding for YC last time. Is it one and done with?
Thanks for your time.
Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging comment. Yes, we did get an email regarding bidding on the Yacht Club, and once again, we did put in a bid. This time; however, our bid was not accepted. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
We are cruising on the seashore on November 10th, 2024. We are both handicapped and would like to know how is this ship for us?
Amazing video!!!! I just subscribed!
Thanks so much, Scott!
Please do some whats new St Petes soon! Those are byfar my favorite!
Thanks for this feedback, Teresa. I think we'll have another one coming out within the next month or so.
Thank you for this video!! We have a 4 night booked in October, first time MSC ships, last one was a Disney cruise 12+ years ago! I have a question regarding food- the buffet is open for breakfast and lunch but not dinner? We will be assigned one of the 4 complimentary restaurants for dinner? We have a 7 year old and want to make sure I understand what to expect
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching. Your cruise will be hear before you know it! The buffet is open for dinner as well! Most people choose to dine in the main dining room for dinner, but sometimes when we aren't in the mood for the whole sit-down hour plus dining experience we do eat at the buffet. It is rarely busy for dinner and often times you can find some of the same items that they serve in the main dining room!
Thanks for posting❤
I like it 40 days

Our pleasure. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the guide I’m going in September 🥳🥳🥳
Our pleasure. We hope you have an awesome time!
Excellent work you two. Looking for your video that shares how to receive up grades
We touched on this topic a little bit in our MSC Yacht Club video. If you haven't watched that one yet, we'd recommend checking it out!
Bahamas on the whole is a miraculous paradise within itself Bimini is a totally awesome gem to add to its kingdom like our sister “Cove Atlantis” so please do come back and visit us MSC cruises are the BEST so a lot more of this Bimini welcomes you all so enjoy continuous and endless vacations and swim with pigs feed iguanas enjoy massages and so on🇧🇸
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. We'd love to come back and experience more of the Bahamas!
Wonderful job as always! You might actually convince me to try MSC again :) My big question is this. How much of a letdown was it not having all the amenities of the Yacht Club available to you as compared to your last MSC cruise? Did you feel...left out?
Thanks, Dan... and great question. We honestly we quite worried that our most recent cruise was going to seem pretty terrible in comparison, so we were mentally prepared and were telling ourselves that this one was just a "work trip". But honestly we still enjoyed the cruise much more than we thought we would (even without the drink package). But I think for us, any day that we're not sitting at a desk all day is a good day!
@@ExplorcationThose of us who follow you really appreciate all the work you two put into these videos. Looking forward to the dining video!
Carnival Diamond guest going on our 1st MSC cruise on the Seashore. Got a great deal, but some of the negative reviews are making me a little nervous. Should I be?!
If you've done your research I wouldn't be. MSC has it's fair share of both pros and cons, but if you know what to expect and try to focus on enjoying the things they do well, you should have a great time!
Love your show!
Thank you, Scully! Hope you've been doing well.
Regarding the drinks package, it's important to recall whether taxes are charged on beverages when the ship is docked at an island for the day. If you opt for a drink, try to remember if there's an additional tax applied or something similar. or its only when you leave the first day of the trip ? thank you.. :)
Thanks for the taking the time to share this tip.
We are planning to sail on her in Dec. Just really worried about the food.
We'll have an MSC episode coming out on Saturday specifically discussing our dining experiences on Seashore. We really hope you find it helpful!
We have only been on Carnival. What did you think of MSC as a whole?
There were things we liked and things we didn't. We actually have another episode talking about our overall MSC experiences. In case you haven't found that episode yet here it is: ua-cam.com/video/f4bJYbwH30I/v-deo.html In general though we would sail MSC again, as we've found the prices to be quite reasonable.
Hi this September 27th 2024 I and my wife are going on this ship we are going in the yachit club
We hope you have a fantastic time in the Yacht Club!
I heard there was free soft serve ice cream at venchi around the side that no one really knows. True or not true? Also do we have to do something to connect our credit card? I heard people say something about issues getting off because they did not do something. What do we have to do? We sail in June.
Now that you say that, I think we may have heard something about that as well, but I don't think we ever actually went around the side to look for it. I (Jamie) was able to consistently get soft service ice cream in the main buffet though. There was always a line for it, and it was always good!
Odd question here. Someone in my party doesn't like elevators. Can you get everywhere on the ship via stairs?
Yes, as far as we know you should never have to use an elevator if you don't want to.
@@Explorcation thanks for information
@@johnnyp727 yw, hopefully the person in your party is ready to get some steps in, it can be quite the trek from the lower decks to the upper decks, but it can be done!
Very comprehensive review. I tend to review ships more for the quality and service etc. I use to work in corporate and on the ships for a major cruise line for over 10 years , and have been on some 14 cruise lines, I generally find msc food quality below industry standards, their service not as good partly because of the large number of foreign ( common to all ships) staff that isn’t as knowledged or as fluent in English. The ships are beautiful but the buffets tend to be chaotic with difficulty finding tables, often not cleaned promptly enough repetitive food and poor quality for the most part. Staff and officers are not as sociable and don’t interact with guests such as on princess for example. I could go on but generally for the price which is the main reason many Americans choose them they give you a lot for the bang just not at the same level as other cruise lines do for higher prices. Still they have enough activities in general and some unique activities to do and for the most part provide a decent although not refined cruise experience.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective! We agree MSC ships are beautiful and they offer a lot of bang for your buck. You may not find the highest quality of food and service as you'll find on more expensive cruises, but it would not be reasonable to expect to.
Booked for Spring Break March 16 2025! This will be our 3rd time on Seashore. We love this ship!!!
We are so glad to hear that, the ship is gorgeous! Have a great Spring Break trip!
Is the water in Pirate Cove heated? Thank you
It felt pretty chilly (but refreshing) to us. Our guess is that it is not heated, but we don't know for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I know the ship doesn't have a cigar lounge, but where are the smoking areas?
Yes, there was an outdoor smoking area (at least one) that we remember.
Looks like the mardi gras from carnival
Yes, from what we can tell they are pretty similar ships.
Did I see this already?
No... but we certainly understand why you may think so😂. We actually address it in 5:38 of the video, in case you missed that part! We experienced some major deja vu for sure!
This does not look like a vacation to me. Too much stress just trying to get from one place to another. 😂
I think a lot of people feel that way with these massive ships, and understandably so! That's a big part of the reason why we make these tour videos... to help people know there way around a little bit before they ever step foot on the ship!
MSC is not for me. After 50+ cruises we just went on our first and last on MSC
We definitely understand that it's not for everyone Doug. We recently went on a similarly priced Carnival cruise. The Carnival ship was much older, smaller, and there were a LOT of things we missed about sailing on one of the newer MSC ships. That said, the service was great compared to our MSC cruises, and we loved the made to order tacos and burgers and the variety of live music available around the ship. It just reminds us that every cruise line/ship has their pros and cons, and which cruise line is better all depends on where your priorities lie!
@dougmckenney9621 may I ask what about MSC was “not for you”? Consider trying MSC instead of Carnival but don’t want to make a mistake
@@hammie1989I’m cruising MSC seashore this weekend will be done the 29th August I’ll update on my experience
@@ShaunFitt yes report back..
@@lindad1418 I’m on board now loving it so far
Does this ship have a teen club(
Yes, we're pretty sure it did.
Did this ship have a teen club?
Yes, we believe so.
😅😊❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for watching!
Sorry but I just got off the seashore I can’t disagree more. My happiest day was when we got on and when we got off. So basically it was my first and last time on MSc. The closet is small, there is no self service laundry facilities. The MSC for Me app sucks. Web check in needs redesign. The bar service was slow. The buffet was the same every day. Plus whose idea was it to put Guest Services where the main Atrium is located it was so loud you had to yell at the rep.
Sorry to hear about your experience Roger. We do agree that the app leaves a bit to be desired, and that the location of the guest service desk does present from challenges. We also have experienced better bar service on other cruise lines. That said, when the price is considered, we found this to be one of the best value ships we've ever sailed on and would absolutely sail on it again. We are curious to hear which cruise line and ships you enjoy most though, as we do plan on booking a few more cruises in 2024.
I have cruised Princess, Carnival, NCL, Holland America, Cunard QM2. For me and my wife Princess Cruise out shines them all. The medallion that they have now works great. I like the Hi Roger whenever I walk up to the bar or any of the dinning rooms, and it will unlock your cabin door when you walk up to it. The check in procedure is easy and does a whole lot more. It took me several tries to get my security picture taken only to have them take it again at the port. Look I understand that people want value for their dollars. I get it, but for me I feel like I wasted 3 grand. Here one more thing my son and his family joined us on the cruise. No one told him that when you attached your CC to the kids Cruise card that you need to set a limit for their spending and you only do that at Guest Services. His final bill for a 7 day cruise came to 1800.00.
@@rogeryannett7212 WOW... I think we might be done cruising with MSC if we had that experience as well... putting a limit on the kids card is a really good tip that we'll be sure to share with those sailing with kids on MSC. And thanks for sharing about your cruise experience with Princess. We've sailed Celebrity a few times (which we hear is on par with Princess) and loved it, but have been itching to sail on Princess for a while now. We're definitely even more motivated to finally get on a Princess ship after hearing about that medallion. It sounds wonderful.
Il peggio del peggio come mangiare
Thanks for watching!
I liked your videos, however what I really don’t like is that each video your voice is like Siri, just doesn’t sound natural. No bad intentions, I like your videos, but just hope you can change this. Thanks
What's your beef with Siri? 😂 Just kidding. We always appreciate honest feedback. Thanks for watching!
There's nothing people won't bitch about
The worst cruise line. Went back in November and for sure no selecting MSC ever again. The service was bad at the main dining, the shows were boring (we walked out on 2 of them), they ran out of the beer or soda of your preference and the food by the end of the cruise was recycled. Ice cream time from 4pm to 6pm limitation that made lines long. The only good thing is the pizza, the Mexican restaurant at an additional cost and the room staff. If you want to waste your money go ahead.
Yeah, if slower service and bad shows will ruin a cruise for you, MSC probably isn't your cruise line. We've been on 5 MSC cruises now and have really gotten a good feel for their strengths and weaknesses. We've found that when you have the right expectations and stick to the things they do well, MSC offers really good value for the money. That said, we don't cruise for the shows, and we can deal with slow service when it means saving a few hundred bucks on a cruise.
The very worst cruise I have ever been on, sorry to say!!!
Sorry to hear about your experience. If you don't mind us asking, what made it so bad?
@shirleycompitello3167 - can you say why?
Why? I see people randomly drop comments like this about MSC and it's starting to make me feel like these people have an agenda against MSC
