Creator's Key Takeaways

first impressions are important and embarcation day and the process of getting on the ship for me and probably most people can sometimes set the Vibe for your entire cruise experience

I had every intention of taking this Cruise solo but my son said Mom I'll go with you and I never pass up an opportunity to travel with my kids

on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate MSC mirila embarcation experience at a Port Canaveral and 8.5

our embarcation was definitely a five out of 10
