My First Birthday Cruise! Turning 30 on MSC Seascape | Costa Maya

I’ve never spent my birthday on a cruise before, and for my 30th, I’m waking up in Costa Maya aboard MSC Seascape! It’s day four of my first MSC cruise from Galveston. My dad and I head into port for a quick walk, check out the shops and flamingos, then make our way back onboard for breakfast. Between the heat and having visited Costa Maya before, I’m happy to spend most of my birthday on the ship. We explore MSC Seascape while more people are ashore, check out the pools and walk through Times Square. My dad takes on the glass Infinity Bridge, and I finally try an affogato at Venchi. Let’s just say I understand why people keep talking about those now. 😂 There’s more buffet food to try, some pizza worth going back for, and a stop at the future cruise desk to ask about celebrating another birthday in the Yacht Club. The crew also helps make the day special, and I get to spend it all with my dad. At the end, I share a personal update about my unemployment situation, future cruise vlogs and getting close to 1,000 subscribers.
