Creator's Key Takeaways
I was cruising with an extended family group that included children so I was really hoping that the weather wouldn't be rough for their sake
I've cruised through the Bay of bis before and the weather's been fine even in winter so when I booked this cruise I was quietly confident that it would be okay this time too
the captain said that overnight we had technically gone through 8 m high waves and we had Winds of 65 knots which is around 75 mph technically 74 mph is the cff off for Hurricane strength winds so we sailed through hurricane strength winds
I definitely would have preferred to have been docked but the rocky weather didn't stop me from doing anything that I wanted to do

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cruise through hurricane-strength winds? I experienced it on my last cruise and the reality of it probably isn't what you'd expect. Normally if you take a cruise in a balcony cabin you can expect your own little private place where you can see out but nobody can see you. That isn’t what happened on my last cruise though because I booked a balcony cabin that faced inside the ship, directly at other cabins. This type of room is one of the most controversial and it certainly took some getting used to, there were pros and a few cons that I hadn’t thought about pre-cruise and I saw and felt, some interesting things from up here. There are plenty of reviews and videos that warn people not to stay in this type of cabin but when I saw this video (https://youtu.be/G4Ee1lDt2jg?si=F0RUimaUzOwNVv3I), I knew I had to book one to try it for myself. A couple of months before this I took a cruise on a very similar ship owned by Royal Caribbean. Our promenade balcony cabin had no clear view of the ocean and we had a couple of issues with noise, soot and general privacy. It looked as though the MSC cabin might be better in a few ways, or so I hoped. When I cruise I usually book what is called a Guaranteed cabin where you don’t pick the specific cabin location but I knew exactly what cabin I wanted so I did pay slightly extra to book this room. I wanted a cabin towards the back as it looked like we would have a good ocean view as well as the promenade but I hoped that we wouldn’t feel too much engine movement from there. ▶ FREE COURSE.
