Creator's Key Takeaways

embarkation took all of 15 minutes by the time I got over there and boarded it was already the afternoon

I'm a diamond member with MSE I didn't even need to use the diamond line at all because there literally was no Q in the regular line

the vibe so far is good um definitely a younger crowd than I was expecting considering it's an older smaller ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the all-in ticket for drinks if you want to take full advantage of the drink package
If you can handle a basic room, the interior state room is perfect for solo travelers
Arrive early for the solos mixer to meet other solo cruisers

YouTube Video Description

I have been wanting to see what MSC Magnifica is like before she leaves Miami, and MSC put out a flash sale that work perfectly with my schedule and budget. So, I booked the last minute sailing in conjunction with another trip. MSC Magnifica did not disappoint. In this first episode, I debark Carnival Magic, make my way over to Hotel Gaythering to stay the night, then embark MSC Magnifica for this fun 4-night adventure.
