A Little Crazy Embarkation Day | MSC Meraviglia 2023

[@MGMFamilyTravel1]

Omg! Loved the vlog! Such an amazing start to our amazing week on that beautiful ship! Thank you so much for the shout out guys!!!

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

We had such a great time with you guys!! And thanks again for the lift! 💗

[@bolivianwonder]

One of the best reviews I've seen with great and useful information. Thank you!

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

Glad it was helpful! It was a chaotic day, but that's what we experienced. The rest of the cruise was a lot calmer at least 😆 thanks for watching!

[@teniahawkinssimon7099]

I am so glad things got better after embarkation. I am not sailing on the Meraviglia until Jan 2025. I pray that they get better with embarkation and the long lines by then. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

Sending positive vibes for a smooth embarkation and thank you so much for watching!

[@HowWeCruise]

Love the sail away split screen! Nice job. We'll be on MSC soon!

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

Thanks! Hopefully embarkation will be smoother for you guys whenever you go 🙏We just hit it at the wrong time 😬

[@FisherFunventures]

We only had one slowdown on our embarkation day, nothing like yours! Also we so felt like rookies to the entire trip. We liked the sail away spit screen.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

Thanks guys! We're glad you both had a smoother embarkation day than we did. :) It was great following your posts along your cruise last week and can't wait to see your vlogs! 💗

[@FisherFunventures]

@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel vlogs maybe rough ha

[@MrSonylucho]

Hi!!! Where do you leave the car when leaving from NY? Is there a parking for a descent price? Thanks

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

We actually had someone drop us off that day, but there is parking at the terminal at $45 per day. Unfortunalty, I am not sure about pricing at any other parking garages in the area. Thanks for watching!

We know how you feel with slow embarkment We were getting on a cruise from Singapore to Sydney on Voyager of the Seas and we had a 4 hour wait as the previous passengers wouldn't get off. They were on a chartered cruise with boost juice . One really good thing came out of it We made lifelong friends while waiting and have done 3 more cruises with them. Love your vlogs thankyou.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

That is the beauty of cruising..we have made so many great friends in the cruising community, and now it seems every cruise we are cruising with our cruise friends. It stunk about the long wait, but it sounded like it was worth it 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@mariavenuto467]

You really dont have to wait for your group to be called for them to scan your card at the muster station. After you call 881 you can just go straight down to muster station. Also yes the embarkation is always hectic lol

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

This was our first time with MSC, but now we know for next time! 😄 Thanks for watching!

Hey good evening from Middle Georgia

[@rocktheboat7214]

That line was MASSIVE. Sorry your first experience was long like that. We have had better experience with MSC sailing from Miami and Port Canaveral. Great video.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

We knew it might be a while, but that was longer than we expected. But hey, at least we got on the ship! Lol Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@AdventuresofDavidandAaron]

What you cheated on carnival? Just joking, Any day on a cruise ship is better than being at work. Enjoyed the vlog, can't wait to watch and catch up and learn about the rest of your MSC experience. Sincerely adventures of David and Aaron. ⚓️ ⚓️ ⚓️.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

We did...we cheated 🤣🤣 We had a great time on the cruise after the dust settled from the craziness of embarkation. Great seeing you guys in KZbin again ❤️

[@GlobalAdventurer]

If 75% of the passengers show up at the same time, there will be long lines. It's best to show up later in the say or first thing in the morning.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

This was our 1st time sailing with MSC, but we definitely know that for the future for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@AlwaysontheMoove]

I can’t believe that line was so long for y’all! I thought the cool show was pretty cool but some of the costumes were odd like that pink hair. 🤣

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

Lol the hair..and the helmets 🤣 The performers were excellent 👌 Yeah the line we were in was insane for sure.

[@jasonheinrich9206]

Did that male dancer clock his partner in the noggin’? If he did, she shook it off well lol.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

Yes, you saw that correct. But you are right, she handled it like a champ!

[@johntheripper8221]

2 hour and 20 mins on-boarding is insane. How do they expect Senior Citizens to stand up for that long.

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

I know.. that was the most unorganized embarkation we ever had. I am sure they would have some assistance for the seasoned Cruisers, but that's definitely not ideal. Hopefully they get things more organized in Brooklyn 🙏

[@justwatching190]

OMG! Its already a NO for me. That line was awful!
