YouTube Video Description

MSC Meraviglia was the first cruise ship I ever sailed on. It was a total blast, and so I have a tradition of sailing on her every year. This is my 2025 Meraviglia adventure. In this first episode, I fly from San Antonio to New York, hang out for a day in the financial district, then embark the ship for day one shenanigans!
