My FIRST MSC cruise is officially underway! 🚢 Come along with me for MSC Seascape Embarkation Day from Galveston, Texas, as I experience MSC Cruises for the very first time and kick off a 7-night Caribbean cruise to Roatán, Honduras, Costa Maya and Cozumel! MSC Seascape recently began sailing from Galveston, and after cruising with several other cruise lines, I knew I had to give MSC a try for myself. In this full embarkation day vlog, I'm taking you along from my pre-cruise hotel near Houston all the way through boarding, sailaway, dinner and my first MSC production show! We start the day in Webster, Texas, where I like to stay before Galveston cruises as an alternative to the higher hotel prices closer to the port. Then it's off to Galveston to park, drop off the luggage and see just how long MSC's embarkation process actually takes. ⏱️ From starting the process to getting onboard MSC Seascape: just 23 minutes! Once onboard, you'll come along as I: 🚢 Experience MSC Seascape for the first time 🧳 Navigate MSC's embarkation and luggage-drop process 📱 Get my muster drill and first-day tasks completed 🍽️ Check out the Marketplace Buffet for my first MSC meal 💳 Pick up my MSC wristband 🥩 Book my specialty dining after finding a 40% off offer 🛏️ Get a first look at my Deluxe Balcony cabin, Room 14285 🎉 Experience MSC's Galveston sailaway party 🌅 Sail away into the Gulf 🍴 Head back to the buffet for embarkation-night dinner 🎭 See Imagine Ocean in the Chora Theatre ♿ And discover a surprisingly plus-size-friendly theater feature that I haven't seen on other cruise ships! Since this was my first-ever MSC cruise, you're getting my reactions as they happened — the things I liked, the things that confused me, how MSC compared with other cruise lines I've sailed, and some things that genuinely surprised me. 🎰 HOW I GOT THIS CRUISE There's another interesting part of this trip: my MSC Seascape Deluxe Balcony cabin was comped through a casino offer match using URComped. I'll talk more about URComped throughout this series, but it essentially allowed me to use my existing casino offers to match with a cruise line I hadn't sailed before. I received my balcony cabin complimentary and paid a deposit that was applied toward my casino play onboard. My URComped referral link: 🚢 THIS MSC SEASCAPE CRUISE Ship: MSC Seascape Cruise Line: MSC Cruises Departure Port: Galveston, Texas Length: 7 Nights Ports: Roatán, Honduras • Costa Maya, Mexico • Cozumel, Mexico Cabin: Deluxe Balcony – Room 14285 Booking: Casino comp match through URComped 🌊 THE MSC SEASCAPE SERIES This is only Day 1!
