MSC Cruises Our First Time / Stateroom Tour / Embarking Day #1 / Sail Away Party. 4/30/2023

[@lizs2223]

"the ocean is our water bed." that was a very poetic way of putting it, Dawn

[@runekey]

watched every video from this trip. Amazing. So glad you had a fun time. Love when Dawn says "bon voyage". You guys rule

[@gracewise4720]

The first day is so chaotic but then it smooths out. It can be what you want relaxing or on the go go go!

[@joanndeland7969]

Thank you so much for taking us along 💕 ❤

[@debbieheinl1243]

Thanks for taking me. Not sure it's my cup of tea. Enjoyed seeing it.

[@ATJHTRAVELS]

How awesome enjoy sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch stay safe and blessed

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@bubbascruise]

Walking on the gangway onto the ship is the best feeling of the week. I could see the excitement even with y’all as newbies. Eating in the main dinning room the 1st day is always slower, but in general it’s going to take 1 hour and half. On the luggage front a new thing is called “apple air tags”. You place them in your luggage and can track it on your phone and they cost around $30.

[@margaretsatchfield6480]

Great video. We've cruised about 5 times. We always try to get midship for our state room, hoping it'll be less rocky. We also aren't drinkers or gamblers, so 3 of our cruises have been Disney because we love the shows, but they are super expensive. No matter which cruise we've been on, my favorite parts are the quiet places where you just stand and look over the vastness of the ocean and beautiful sun rises and sunsets.

[@AshlieWagner]

Same! We cruised Norwegian last year & didn't care for it. We prefer Disney hands down for the same reasons as you stated.

[@amyxplores810]

Thanks for sharing. I know for sure I never want to go on a cruise!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@koalabear6722]

Nice! Love the balcony room! Just seems very busy and noisy for me. Both of you looked so nice and yes, a long day. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@karenryan490]

I really like the smaller, older ships, less people and easier to make your away around

[@pammiedoodle8693]

Some friends of ours always cruise the smaller cruise lines. This ship is the reason why. Way too big, too many people and walking miles to get anywhere! It’s fun watching your perspective and your review of things👍🏼😊

[@leocatcruises]

I love your joy for your first cruise. The room is very nice. Happy 50!!

[@annazherdetsky3007]

We’re more Royal Caribbean peeps, MSC would not be our choice. Try Royal Caribbean next time I believe they also do cruises over seas. We recommend.

[@charlenee1776]

Looks like fun! I can see why you are overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed just watching. That place is huge. I have never been on a cruise either, so it's fun to see this and have you tell everything. Too bad that food wasn't that good. Hopefully it will be better. Looking forward to the next video!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@martybaker9035]

I eat the buffet and the burger and pizza restaurant but I do carnival cruise lines

[@Simonj2109]

Everyone feels a bit overwhelmed but explore and you will find your feet and what fits you best,new experiences help you grow just enjoy and take it easy you will be diving in in no time..👍

[@cruisepulse]

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@steveseattle140]

Great video W&D! I'd be interested in learning the various costs. Also, I like how you showed the people on the shore wishing bon voyage. Also, both your chunky framed glasses look great!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@kimfrommn7162]

Thank You for taking us all with you!!! The Ship is Beautiful!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@patriciadowd2948]

Loved the video! I can't wait to see the next one. You both looked like you were having so much fun. So happy you got to take the cruise and hope you do more. My husband and I have never taken a cruise so we are hoping to learn from you both. Dawn look like she is so excited. LOL What a fun trip for a birthday!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@donnadoering5125]

Love ❤️ that you two are doing this cruise 🚢 you deserve it. One of my favourite channels. Awesome Awesome love ❤️ it. ENJOY. From Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 🎉🎈🎈🎈

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you 👌

[@joy.ferguson1844]

Happy cruising you two. Looking forward to all your vidios. Nice room. I would love the balcony.

[@MariaRamos-hc5hp]

WOW! That boat is awesome. Beautiful inside out but like every cruise too many people. Is good to have that experience. I had it once many years ago with Norwegian Caribbean and that was enough but hey I don't regret it. Hope you have a great time and I'm just waiting for your next video. 😊 👍

[@MariaRamos-hc5hp]

💌

[@Toni-lo5ok]

Fun fun!! Excited to see the rest of this journey!

[@Pixiesantics]

I think your state room is bigger than the first hotel room that you had in London. I know the bathroom on the ship is bigger than the one you had in London.😅

[@robinunderwood7695]

Way to crowded for a vacation for me I'm gonna pass on a cruise.....have a awesome time and b safe

[@Rhondagail]

Thanks for showing me your cruise video 📸

[@sherrymack94]

Cruising is a lot of fun the first day of usually hectic but once you cruise the first time you’ll get the hang of things and the food usually gets better as the days go on and the staff is amazing

[@donnadesanctis]

Happy 50th Birthday Dawn 🎉🎂🎈🎉🎊🎁have a great time!!

[@AmyQ97]

I have no desire to ever do a cruise but I loved seeing the size of that ship!

[@diamondpaintingwithsweett]

It was cool to see Jetty Park when you were leaving the port. I've been there before and it was exciting to see it from a different vantage point. I love the private balcony!❤❤❤

[@janbond8460]

Happy birthday, Dawn. You look so pretty. Your makeup is lively. A LOT of people.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@carolm8003]

Gotta tune in to see If Dawn’s prediction that everyone is naked on the private island! That was cute❤️ seriously though it was fun watching. We enjoyed a number of cruises precovid. Just hasn’t caught our eyes again, but it’s fun to watch you all!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you 👌 😊

[@loisminturn9362]

My husband and I started cruising last year we visited Nassau also. We loved it. We have only cruised Carnival and have a trip booked for the new Venezia out of NY in October. I also have a girl cruise every spring now with my oldest friends. Went to Cozumel this year and taking Royal Carribean to Jamaica and Grand Cayman spring of 2024. The plan is to take some oversea cruises also. So I guess we were hooked with after our first cruise. Excited to try different cruise lines. I would love to see you guys take more cruises and share them.

I've always heard that cruises were great, but I have a huge fear of big bodies of water so I'm living through ya'll today😊 Happy Birthday Dawn🎉

[@helgabullabong]

Snap, me too. Terrified of open water so i have never cruised.

[@joseluiscastillo6170]

I thought I was the only one with fear of being out in the middle of big water. I am ok in smaller boats closer to land.

[@sandrajordan3802]

I’m also not going where there are thing big enough to eat me!

Never did a cruise but would want a balcony also. lol And all you can eat buffets.

[@bwgoofy]

🌊🪝🛳️🌊🪝🛳️ Listen… my first cruise I was completely lost on what to do. Always felt lost on the ship lol. The food was terrible, not just one meal but most of them. We lived on peanut/butter jelly sandwiches and fruit the entire week bc we hated the food except for breakfast lol I love your content always and I will always love you both Thank you for all your hard work for us 🌊🪝🛳️🌊🪝🛳️ WILDWOMAN

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you for sharing your memories

[@kendrasmith6637]

Wow looks cool! 😊

[@melindanelson6223]

Happy Birthday Dawn. I was showing my husband the video portion of the breakfast buffet. He was looking for the biscuits and gravy. He said I can’t go on a cruise without the biscuits and gravy. Great videos and tips

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@sherryd339]

I enjoy your videos! I’d never go on a cruise because too many people and noise. It would give me anxiety. I do enjoy watching y’all though. Thanks for sharing. Blessings from Diane in Oklahoma!❤

[@dianapearson1771]

Nope. No cruises for me. Too many strange people. Out in the middle of the ocean? Too scary. But, hope ya'll had fun!!! Dawn was so excited!!!

[@JennAndAmy]

First day of your first cruise is definitely disorienting and fun and amazing all at the same time! You did great! 🥰

Have a great birthday cruise Dawn. Glad to see you on your first cruise. Wife and I are apprehensive of doing those Carribean cruises so looking forward to seeing how it came out.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you

[@patriciac4858]

Went on my first cruise 40 years ago and swore I’d never do another, it was the cruise to nowhere & total nightmare!!! we moved to SE Florida years later & my husband & daughter talked me into doing weekend cruise out of Miami. We loved it!!! Have done too many to count because of living so nearby Ft. Lauderdale & Miami. We love Princess use to do Carnival, going to cruise Alaska on Holland this year, have done Princess there and loved it. If you don’t have a wonderful time try different lines.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😊 you for sharing

@@yankeeinthesouth very welcome 🤗

[@jeramyrulo6747]

Interested to see your guys thoughts after another cruise series on a different line. Surprised to see that you chose MSC for your first cruise. It does tend to be different due to its Mediterranean flair, some say the service lacks compared to other traditional lines. I’ll be on Discovery Princess to Alaska for a travel agent training in late September as well as a Princess ta seminar on Caribbean Princess starting on Halloween. I’ve been on Carnival and Princess, going on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas in January for my first RCCL cruise. Norwegian Bliss to Alaska in May 2024, MSC Meraviglia scheduled for next year in June, Panama Canal on Cunard’s Queen Anne probably in August 2024 (finishing Cunard training to earn my free ta cruise), and MSC World America in 2025. So excited, I hope you guys cruise many more times as well!

[@TalytaB]

Will, whatever you did, you look great! Fresh hair cut, new glasses & looks like you got a facial too! And happy 50th birthday Dawn! Have a blast! 🎉🎉

We just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas on Carnival out of Jacksonville. Had a great time. Smaller ship but so much easier to figure out. That was our 3rd Carnival Cruise. Really recommend cruising with Carnival. I have heard from others that MSC is kinda chaotic with the way they do things.

[@zenabeme22]

Yes Maam love Carnival. Ive been on 16 cruises absolutely love them. Such a fun time. ❤
