Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the reveal that you need to provide guests when boarding the ship.

Whoever came up with that needs to be fired.

I don't regret eating at Burger Burger Bites at Luna Park.

Coffee, espresso, whatever is included in Easy Plus at any of the other bars, just not at Coffee Emporium.

Check the app for updated party schedules as they can change frequently.
Consider the upgrade to Premium Extra package if you want coffee at Coffee Emporium.
Use the escalator at Dolce Vita Bar for a better boarding reveal.

YouTube Video Description

MSC World AMERICA, Heck Yeah! - Is she an ICON Killer??? I’m thrilled to explore the vibrant World Promenade on MSC World America during its first revenue sailing, and let me tell you, this is the grand reveal passengers deserve when boarding—not some elevator vestibule! The Coffee Emporium catches my eye with its Margaritaville-inspired upcharge sandwiches and a quirky coffee sensory experience where I sample scents like fruity apricot, herbal aloe, and floral rose (though the fake props remind me of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure). Disappointed by the lack of espresso martinis on my Easy Plus package here, I head to the Dolce Vita Bar, navigating a confusingly narrow corridor, and score a rum-based espresso martini for just $2.50—worth it! At the Luna Park Burger, I’m blown away by chicken wings, nachos with Doritos, and rainbow-sprinkled desserts, though I stick to my mission of sipping a Mai Tai from the Botanic Garden Bar. The welcome aboard party (no longer called sailaway, which bugs me) is a bit lowkey for a maiden voyage, with dancing and a fun ladies-vs-fellas showdown, but I’m distracted by spotting Icon of the Seas and Norwegian Aqua nearby. From the ship’s bridge, I learn we’ll swing around Miami to head south through the Old Bahama Channel. Quirks like high railings and no direct deck access frustrate me, but I’m already planning tomorrow: a haircut, Paxos lunch, and hitting the pools and waterslides stress-free. With creators galore onboard and seven days to explore, I’m soaking up the chaos and charm of this new ship, loving every moment of my cruise adventure!
