Creator's Key Takeaways

This was the cheapest seven night sailing out of Galveastston.

The food is good. This beef and banana is probably one of the better beef and bananas I've had from a cafeteria buffet restaurant.

The pizza here on MSCape is in the running for best cruise ship pizza.

Today was a lot of fun, but way different than what we're used to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the MSC app (MSC for Me) before your cruise for booking dining, shows, and navigating the ship.
Arrive early on embarkation day to avoid long lines for dining reservations and safety drills.
Use the priority line for dining reservations if you have MSC status.

It’s Embarkation Day on the stunning MSC Seascape! Join us as we step onboard our FIRST EVER MSC Cruise departing from Galveston. We dive straight into the essential embarkation day to-do list, including the mandatory safety briefing, reserving the shows in the Chora Theater, confirming our dining plans, and showing off our room. After fueling up with a embarkation day lunch at the Marketplace Buffet, we set out to explore everything this Seaside-class ship has to offer. We show off the Aurea Spa, and give a look at the kids' clubs and the Bridge of Sighs. You’ll get a full look at our stateroom accommodations before we head to the pool deck to experience the Sail away party as we leave Texas behind. Throughout the day, we share our first impressions and travel tips for navigating a new cruise line, including an look at what you need to do before your cruise on MSC to make sure you're ready for Embarkation Day!. The excitement continues into the evening as we highlight the nightlife on MSC Seascape. We attend the first Song and Dance show called Imagiocean in the Chora Theatre and enjoy our first sit-down dinner in the Main Dining Room. To cap off an amazing first day, we grab a drink and head to the Cabaret Rouge for live music and dancing. Whether you’re an MSC regular or a Royal Caribbean fan curious about the switch, this vlog covers everything you need to know about Day 1 on Seascape! #MSCSeascape #MSCCruises #MSCCruise #CruiseVacation #CruiseTravel #TravelCouple #CruiseShip #EmbarkationDay #MSCSeascapeGalveston #CruiseTips #CruiseVlog We took a 7-night cruise aboard MSC Seascape in January 2026.
