MSC Seashore Embarkation Day: What It’s REALLY Like (Balcony Upgrade!)
Join us for Embarkation Day on the beautiful MSC Seashore as we begin our 5-day, 4-night cruise to the Bahamas and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. This cruise was filmed at the end of 2025, and in this Day 1 vlog we show you exactly what embarkation day is really like — from arriving at the port, parking our car, boarding the ship, exploring the buffet and pool deck, the sail away party, dinner at Central Park restaurant, and even a surprise appearance by the captain before the magician show. We also share helpful tips for embarkation day so you know what to expect if you're cruising on MSC. This was our second time sailing on MSC Seashore, and thanks to a Black Friday deal, we were upgraded to a Bella Balcony stateroom without paying extra. 🚢 Watch Our Balcony Room Tour If you want to see the full tour of our upgraded balcony room, watch it here: 👉 https://youtu.be/ClkR_Ag_wtI Room Number: 13169 For this cruise we parked at Port Canaveral Parking here is their website for more information: https://portcanaveralparking.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp The process was very smooth — after parking, a shuttle takes you directly to the cruise terminal, which made embarkation easy and stress-free. Tip: Arriving early helps avoid lines and gives you a smoother start to your cruise vacation. 🌴 Our Cruise Itinerary 5 Days / 4 Nights Departing from Port Canaveral Stops include: • Bahamas • Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve (MSC’s private island) 👋 About Us We are Travel With The Hamiltons (Kevin & Merli) — a couple who loves sharing travel vlogs about cruises, hotels, beaches, theme parks, and destinations around the world.
