Have you sailed out of Port of Miami?

I really enjoyed sailing out of Miami because it was beautiful and warm ☀️. Our check-in on MSC Seaside was fast and easy!

If you are driving to this port - please bring your patience when leaving. We had friends offer to drive us from Port Miami to another port for our next cruise and it took us 1 hour to get out the garage from the time we got in the car. Then we hit lots of traffic leaving.

Food aboard Margaritaville at Sea was pretty darn good!! With the exception of the breakfast buffet which I didn’t prefer - the rest of the food was great!! I didn’t get many photos. But, I have a video coming tomorrow of some of our meals onboard. 🎥

This Cajun gal loved that on night 1 they had such great options for me. I had gumbo (starter) , jambalaya (starter) AND shrimp and grits (main entree) !! The server warned me it would be “spicy” but it was perfect. 🤩

I’m not gonna lie. The back pool deck on Margaritaville at Sea Paradise was giving 1980’s. It was like stadium seating with lots of hand rails. Would you still give it a try? I’m glad we tried it out. More photos and videos to come!

🛳️ Cruise Check-In!

Comment with ONE thing you ALWAYS do first when you board the ship 👇

• Grab a drink 🍹
• Head straight to the Lido 🍔
• Explore the ship 🧭
• Take a selfie 📸
• Unpack immediately 🧳
• Find my balcony 🌊

Judgment-free zone… unless you say unpack 😆

I head straight to the taco bar when I board! Tacos, drink, muster - in that order. 🥰

MSC Seaside Casino 🎰

What do you play when onboard a ship? What’s the most you’ve ever won onboard? Most I’ve ever won on a ship is $500. And I was super excited. 💃

Jungle Bar aboard MSC Seaside was a neat little spot.
