Welcome to Day 1 of our MSC World America vlog series. We start the morning at an Embassy Suites near PortMiami, then head to the brand-new MSC Terminal AA with real-world tips on traffic, parking, and wheelchair assistance. After embarkation, we talk honestly about MSC’s app + Wi-Fi setup, show you sailaway from the Bridge of Sighs, and end the night with dinner at Eataly (Italy) including a full-on Branzino surprise and dessert. We also share how the MSC Thermal Suite pass works (port days vs sea days) and wrap up with quick thoughts on the Momentous magic show.
Cruising MSC World America soon? This episode is packed with first-day tips that can save you time and headaches.
