My MSC Cruise Review

Happy new year! I have so much to talk about. 1st we are all doing amazing. The children are getting up there in age and starting to find their way in the world. Our economy is crazy and Americans are having trouble making living wages so we are practicing group economics as a family. We own a big house and we all live and work together. This helps with savings and minimizes debt accumulation for our older children. So far so good. This will be my 12th year as a LMT licensed massage therapist. I'm definitely still loving helping people to feel better naturally through massage and body work but as I get older my body is starting to hurt. So to make extra income starting a travel business. Yes I'm an independent travel advisor! This is year 2 in the travel business game and I have to say I am loving it. Definitely less taxing on my body and I'm learning so much about thd industry and the world. That brings me to this review that I had to share with the world. So we took our first cruise spring 2024 and it blew our minds. Cruising has never been on our radar or on our bucket list of things to try. Now that we have done it and experienced it on multiple times it is absolutely my favorite way to travel and see the world. Why? Well 1st it's all inclusive so we don't have to pay extra for anything. No hotels, no food, no entertainment. That comes with your reservations. Now there are add one that you can pay extra for but its not necessity. We have cruised with Virgin Voyages and all adult 18 & up cruise line on the valiant lady <outstanding >and with MSC. And here's my review..

Ive been on the Magnifica, the Seascape twice and I'll be cruising on the Seaside this March. I loved everythig about MSC so far.

We did a 5 day in an interior cabin, a 5 and 8 day in a deluxe balcony.

The embarkation process getting on the ship from the new terminal in Miami was super easy. As long as you do pre check in and get your e tickets on the app and use the same travel documents that you checked in eith It goes so smooth.

We leave our hotel room by 8:30 am or 9:30am that we arive at the cruise port by 10:30am regardless of what our check in time is and got on the ship by 11:45am. You have to go through tsa check just like the airport to enter the terminal. Once cleared you get a ticket from the person at the door sit down and wait till your number is call to board the ship. We were waiting for the passengers to disembark (get off) so that we can get on.

They let us put our bags in our room. And go explore the ship and hit the pool before our room was all the way ready. ( They have to clean and sanitize)

We also grabbed lunch at the buffet. The MSC food is good. Their pizza is great and we love their ethnic vegan options. The food is healthier so less junk food and didn’t make us feel tired after eating. No itis..lol

The days at sea was much needed to explore the ship we took so many pictures. Theres so much to do. From sports bars, casinos, specialty restaurants, lounges, game rooms, shops ect.

There were plenty of places for kids and families to hang out. One of my best friends best friend has a baby that was under 2 on our 1st cruise and he loved thd baby plsy room. You can check your children in the age appropriate club and let them have a great time. I would say that its fun for all ages!

I absolutely love the over night stay itinerary on MSC's private island, Ocean Cay. There were bars and the food is broughtout to the pavilion to you for lunch. There were plenty of bathrooms with showers and a bus (golf cart) that dropped us off and picked us up at the bus stops. There are at least 3 different beaches to choose from on the island also a lagoon. And the light house is awesome.

We saw a show every night in the theatre. You can reserve your tickets on the app or on one of the giant digital boards by the elevators. At no extra cost! Enjoy shows from comedy to musicals and acrobatics.

They have amazing shows, it was like being on Broadway! A great variety of food, and outstanding crew that will clean your cabins as many times as you allow them to..lol one of the comedians made a joke of how he got up in the middle of the nite use the bathroom and when he came back the bed was made up 🤣😂 yes it be like that with MSC!!

We alway bring cash and American candy for our room staff because they are so awesome!

Msc cruise line is a hidden gem. We can’t wait to go back and experience the new ships and different itineraries!
