[@LidoLife]

We are soooo excited about our upcoming transatlantic cruise on the MSC Seaside next April!!! 23 days

[@LidoLife]

MSC is our go to now!!!!

[@Dave17101]

I envy you soooooo much.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

MSC is just a uniquely fun cruise line, right?!? We’re with @Dave17101 … sooo jealous!!!!!😊

[@gregpierce2468]

@@LidoLifeit’s our go to as well. We just went on our first Msc mid September and have booked one for Feb and August 2025

[@HangingWithTheHoards]

I’m a huge Fan of MSC and TTT!! I’m a travel agent and already had us booked on the sailing that is your group cruise. Hope to meet you!🛳️🌊🪩🕺🎉

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Yes! Can’t wait! It’s a big ship, but we’ll try to be everywhere… please say hi to us!!!!😊

[@Dave17101]

Good to see ya, stay high and dry today. 50 hypothetical episodes 🥳🥳🥳 Gyros on-board Word America? YES!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Thanks! It’s very stormy here, but thankfully we’re located at the top of a mountain, so it’d be a flood not seen since the days of Noah to reach us!😅 Meet you at the gyros!😋

10 and 11 day sailings of southern Caribbean are coming in winter 25-26 on Divina, some great ports and would be perfect for Chris and his sadness about cruises ending early on day 7!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Ha! Yes! Now we just need to get our work schedules to line up for those longer cruises!

[@annikki73]

Congrats on Diamond status! I'm looking forward to my first cruise at Gold status - free hour at the spa AND free birthday cake!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Yes! Free cake is like music to our ears!🍰

[@Pirtosi]

First thing we do once on board, Muster Station, Then go get our Reservations for Specialty Dining, and Seating for MDR. Then it's DRIIIIINKS! 🤣

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Ha! Kindred spirits!

[@odkbull]

We used to eat at Eataly on the Divina! It was amazing. But the, I believe, Butchers Cut took its place. But, we loved it!!!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Ah good to know… we are excited to try it on a ship since we loved it in Vegas

[@seatrees2087]

❤❤❤Thank you so much for your channel. ❤❤❤. We got universal tag holders with the steel wires and they work great with all the tag sizes. I did everything on my phone and printed the express QR codes just in case this time. We also recommend the wrist bands out of the gate. And, find the guy selling restaurant packages. They have great deals on boarding day. We got the tomahawk pkg for two and they threw in the anniversary pkg with bubbles free. Just got back from Seashore on Fri and boarding was a breeze. Coming back.... well silly hurricane. Had extra days that were great but the info flow was a bit lacking. Keep asking questions.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Great ideas!!! Thanks for sharing the love ❤️❤️

[@phishingwithphilthy]

Missed you guys, hope you lhad the best time on your cruise!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Thank you! We had an incredible cruise and can’t wait to share it!

[@jurgenmuck3102]

If I interpret the promo video of MSC correctly it must be as follows compared to the MSC World Europa: 1. Eataly replaces the “Chef's Garden Kitchen” 2. Paxos replaces the “Pescaderia” 3. the “Promenade Bites” replaces the “Sweet Temptations” I was at World Europa last year and it was the case that the “Pescaderia” and “Sweet Temptations” were always empty. It seems to me that there is a need to change these concepts, especially in the American market.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

We love these changes!!!! And love the way MSC can respond to feedback and switch. So very excited for this ship!! Thank you for sharing

[@Cathleen06751]

You had me at pizza and coffee 😂

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

That’s one of our favorite things about MSC!!

[@Controversialcruising]

I believe I’ll be going on MSC IN 2025! I’m still trying to fit your guys GC in too!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@abinluke4051]

We are going tomorrow!!!!!!!!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Ugggg sorry we missed telling you to have a great time!!! We hope you did and got home safe ❤️❤️

[@dawnmcgaffick5005]

This will be our first experience with MSC. We are doing the yacht club. What time is the earliest we can get onto the ship. We are leaving from Miami. Thanks for all the information you give.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

So excited for you. Because you are YC, you can get on as soon as they clear the ship. If you get there around 10 and you get checked in, there will be a lounge you can wait in (with champagne) as soon as they can they will get you onboard 🎉🎉🎉

[@gingeryoung106]

Hope you made it through the hurricane unscathed

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

We are doing ok!! Thanks for checking in ❤️❤️❤️

[@michelehaase5197]

Love your channel… Because of you, we have booked yacht club out of Brooklyn (we live in New York and husband no longer wants to fly, so it’s the only way we can get to an island beach). We’re not really Cruise folks, but your enthusiasm has sold us. Regarding embarkation: Do they go through your check bags without you present? If we drop them off at the Porter, then go park the car, are they then headed into the ship without us, or are they waiting for us to do a baggage check? And, what is a typical earliest boarding time? For yacht club

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Thank you! That’s so nice to hear! You will fall in love with Yacht Clib, guaranteed 😊 They do not go through your luggage. They will scan it like the airport, but won’t open it. Once you drop the luggage off (there’s a special YC only area for that) it will then make its way onto the ship. As far as the earliest time for YC boarding… one of the BEST perks of being in YC is that as soon as the ship is ready for embarkation, YC guests can get onboard. (That’s usually around 10am) Have an awesome trip!😊

[@Jon_T19]

I always go on cruise mapper to see what port the ship is the morning of!

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Great idea!!

[@phishingwithphilthy]

Seashore was difficult to get logged onto wifi but had if sorted by end of lunch on embarkation day, with no help.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

It seems to be getting better… they’ve reduced it from 12 different steps to login to only 8! 🤪😊🤪

[@GeorgeDutt]

We cruise frequently out of Port Canaveral and the taxi service is significantly cheaper than uber - we are local so maybe that is the difference.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Yep. Sometimes, especially at peak boarding times and disembarkation times, Uber can be very pricey.

[@JosephDickersonUX]

I have a laser printer that can print hundreds of documents per $20 cartridge, so I ALWAYS print travel docs. I've had situations where a QR code on my phone did not scan or my phone crashed just when I needed to access a doc I had on it. Better to be safe than sorry...

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Absolutely! Whatever makes your cruise experience better, do that!😊

[@dawnmcgaffick5005]

We are on seascape in YC. Do they offer free pressing for clothes? My husband is bringing a tux for formal day. We thought we would do it up big. He was just wondering.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Hi sorry for the late reply… our internet keeps going out on us due to the storm. Yes they will press clothes for free… just ask your butler ❤️❤️❤️

[@ilovecruising2024]

Royal Caribbean banned the multiplugs on all of their ships last week.

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Wonder of the Seas is where they took our multi plug. Have no idea how we’d be able to vlog on a ship without a multi plug. May have to resort to smuggling!😊🥸😊

[@dandaly3454]

What do you think about the MSC Maravilha

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Take a look at our Meraviglia Like & Dislikes video below. Hope it helps… m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH2th32sbMtmsLM

[@ilovecruising2024]

MSC: Wonderful cruising, but not masters of technology and communication. 😂

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

😂🥹😂

[@gregpierce2468]

You may have mentioned this but my brain is fried from the hurricane we had in Florida… does MSC status go away or go down a level if you don’t cruise every so often ?

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Hey there. Hope you and your family are ok and ready for this next one ❤️❤️☹️ If you don’t cruise within 3 years, you lose your status. But who could possibly go that long without cruising 😂😂😂😂
