Creator's Key Takeaways

We boarded the MSE Seaside in Miami on February 2nd of 2026.

This captain was hilarious. We got invited to go to a special event for me being uh in the frequent cruiser club on MSE.

It took them over 20 minutes to clean up the mess. That happened sort of at the beginning of our dinner, and by the time we finished dinner, it was all still on the floor.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Put important things in your carry-on because your checked bags might not arrive in your cabin on time.

✓If you want to save money on drinks, consider buying a bottle of wine instead of individual glasses.

Luggage might not arrive in cabin — Pack essentials in carry-on and be prepared for delays.
