Thank you so much for making us a part of your day.

Hope you had a very happy new year, my friend. Coming up on this week, show, we have a review of MSC Cruise's newest ship here in the U.S.

The MSC. Seashore. Chad will be here in just a couple of moments. Before we get to him, though, cruise news returns next week. Everyone's been doing this

crazy vacation schedule. It's like hurting cats around here trying to get someone to do news.

So with that said, if you want to get caught up on the news, you can do that at Cruise Radio

News, just opposite of this channel or on our YouTube channel, Cruise News Today. That's five days a week,

Monday through Friday. All right, Chad just returned from MSC, Seashore. It was a seven-night cruise out of Port Miami. He booked a room up in the Yacht Club Suites, which is the premium area of the ship, and he's here to talk all about it. Hello, Chad. Hey there. So I'm excited to hear all about this cruise because I only got to

spend two nights on it, didn't get to see nearly enough, and plus you were, you had the ultimate

experience up there in the yacht club. So before we get to the ship itself and talk about your

experience, we'll take a couple of steps back. You're out there in Seattle. What makes you want to

take this seven-night cruise clear across the country

to the Eastern Caribbean? Well, we've done a few cruises on Royal Caribbean before. We've stayed in a

few suites with them and wanted to try MSC just to try a different brand. We've heard a lot

about them and their Yacht Club experience, how it was pretty nice. And it's more of like a European

experience, which much, much international guests and sailors. So we wanted to try that out.

That's basically what made us try MSC. Now for sure. Now, you made your way down to Port

Miami. Any pre-crued time down like in South Beach or anything? We did fly the day before. So we had about a day in Miami to kind of look around and just kind of walk through downtown Miami and got to see Miami itself there. But it was pretty amazing to see the cruise terminal. That was our first time sailing out of Miami. We've always sailed out of Port Canaveral before. So to see all the cruise ships lined up in a row like that, it was pretty cool. Yeah, for sure. So you make your way to

Port Miami to embark MSC Seashore. How was the embarkation process? And was it, I guess, elevated at all since you were in the yacht club? It was. It was pretty amazing. So when we were driving to the port, our driver was kind of getting us to where the port entrance is, or the main entrances and we saw a tent for the yacht club outside and told them to kind of stop there for us.
