Creator's Key Takeaways

We are finally stepping foot on the MSC Grandiosa! After years of sailing in Europe, this stunning Meraviglia-plus class ship has officially arrived in the U.S. market

Best show ever. You got to see it and you got to dance.

We had a fantastic day. I'm kind of looking forward to seven more days on here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to make specialty reservations or dining room questions as soon as you get on the ship.
If you have a dining plan, write down what days you want to go to what restaurant to avoid overwhelm.
Book shows in advance, as they can be $15 per person if pre-purchased.

We are finally stepping foot on the MSC Grandiosa! After years of sailing in Europe, this stunning Meraviglia-plus class ship has officially arrived in the U.S. market, and we’re among the first to experience her on this side of the Atlantic. In this video—the first in our brand-new Grandiosa series—join us as we navigate boarding day and get our first real look at the ship. We aren't just here for the views; we’re diving deep into the Aurea experience. From the moment we arrived at the terminal to walking into our Aurea balcony cabin, we’re showing you what it’s actually like to cruise with these added perks. We’ll be exploring the ship just like you would: finding the best spots, checking out the atmosphere, and seeing if the Grandiosa lives up to the hype now that she’s sailing from U.S. ports. In this video, we cover: The Boarding Process: How smooth is it for Aurea guests? First Impressions: Our honest reaction to the Grandiosa’s scale and style. Our Aurea Home: A look at our balcony cabin and the specific Aurea amenities included. Wandering the Ship: Exploring the promenade, the Top-19 exclusive Aurea deck, and the initial boarding day "vibe." This is just Part 1 of our journey.
