Creator's Key Takeaways

We've heard several mixed reviews and several people have asked us if we'd tried MSE. So, we figured we need to try it out.

We absolutely hate complaining. That was not fun. I was very stressed, but we couldn't stay in our room.

Guest services was incredible. We were waiting in line quite a few times, but they were working on a solution and we have a new cabin a million times better.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have a strong coffee preference, ask for extra espresso shots in your latte.
Be prepared to use stairs frequently due to long elevator wait times.
If you encounter a cabin smell issue, report it immediately to guest services.

YouTube Video Description

Embarkation day on MSC Seashore started off perfectly — we boarded this stunning ship, grabbed lunch at the Marketplace Buffet, and set off to explore every corner of our new home at sea. From the incredible ocean views to a cozy coffee stop at Brooklyn Café, everything was going smoothly… until we found our cabin. That’s when things took a turn for the worse. 😳 What was supposed to be a relaxing start quickly became a bit of a nightmare — but don’t worry, it all gets resolved (eventually!). We wrap up the day enjoying MSC’s entertainment and a well-deserved dinner before finally getting some rest. Join us for all the highs, lows, and everything in between as we kick off our MSC Seashore cruise adventure — and trust us, this is an embarkation day you won’t forget! ✨ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more cruise vlogs, ship tours, and behind-the-scenes moments from The Cruising Sisters!
