YouTube Video Description

In this video we share what happens on our third day aboard MSC Splendida, after the ship was not allowed to leave Cape Town Cruise Terminal on embarkation day, and we eventually set sail on a “cruise to nowhere.” Although we received clearance to set sail, it is still very windy at sea. Will we make it through the day ok? Well, watch the vlog to find out. I can tell you this… While onboard, we may as well, eat and take in the entertainment, so come along with us as we dine at Butcher’s Cut and La Reggia Main Dining Room, take a dip as water goes splashing out of the pool in huge amounts due to the rocking of the ship, take in some entertainment at the Strand Theatre, and meet the Captain at the helm of the beautiful MSC Splendida.
