Creator's Key Takeaways

I am alone on the elevator again. Back in cruise mode.

This thing is terrible. It's fun to try once, but I guarantee that is the only time.

This is my black and blue. It is huge. Or huge. Look at this. Look at this. There's my hand.

9.5 out of 10 would highly recommend. Worth the upcharge.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the black and blue burger at the Allstar Sports Bar, it's worth the upcharge.
Use the app for onboard purchases and schedules, but be aware it may have issues.
If you want an espresso martini, go to the Dolce Beach Bar as it's the only bar with coffee machines.

YouTube Video Description

HUGE REVEAL!!! HUGE BURGER!!! Self Care Day aboard MSC World America - Day 3 - Puerto Plata Hey everyone! It’s Day 3 aboard the MSC World America, and I’m taking you along for the ride! I started my morning with the gentle hum of the ship docking in Puerto Plata—perfect time for coffee and a stress-free All-American breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns), though the coffee tasted like industrial lubricant (yikes!). The ship felt like a ghost ship with everyone off on excursions, so I explored solo, hunting for breakfast pizza (MSC, why not?!). I tried the F1 simulator (total letdown) but declared it a self-care day with gelato (Fior di Latte and Hazelnut), a lava stone massage, and a fresh haircut. Dinner at the Allstar Sports Bar was a win—my black-and-blue burger was a 9.5/10 (worth the upcharge!), but the jalapeno poppers? Zero heat, like eating fried cucumbers. I wrapped up with an espresso martini at the Dolce Beach Bar and hit the tropical party (not in costume, oops). Tomorrow’s a big day in San Juan—ropes course, water slides, and more!
