The cruise ship is on its naming sailing out of Miami
Transcript
00:00I am Dan Klein. He is Dennis Post. We are Come Cruise With Me. We are on the deck of the beautiful
00:06MSC World America. We're going to give you our original thoughts. Now, we've been on the ship
00:11for like, what, four hours? This is not a comprehensive review. We are outside the Fizz
00:17Bar. This is the Champagne Bar. There are bottles of champagne everywhere. It is very sunny. We
00:22apologize for how squinty and looking at the sun we are here. But my initial impression,
00:27the ship itself is beautiful, but it's flawed. And I hate to say that. The hallways in a lot of the
00:34places are choke points. Like, it almost feels like it's a zombie apocalypse movie, and the goal is to
00:39get people into a choke point. That said, the open areas are spectacular. You've got six, seven, eight
00:45all wide open. The whole ceiling is the American flag. It's the MSC World America. It is really well
00:51done, but that is a very odd design feature. Dennis, what did you think of your original
00:56opinion here? Yeah, the wow factor when we walked in, the main atrium, beautiful American flag going
01:02across the ceiling, beautiful staircases. Everything was amazing. But again, we found
01:08ourselves in a couple spots where we're trying to navigate on the floor. Really tight areas might
01:13jam up. Yeah, there's a place where you go from the comedy club to the gin bar, and it's like a back
01:19alley. At one point, I'm like crawling through, and I know I'm not the smallest guy in the world,
01:22but it feels like we're on here with like a few hundred, maybe a few thousand people.
01:27This ship has a 5600 capacity. I wonder about that. Now, it is the third world ship, so maybe
01:34they've done this before, but I'm not sure they're aware of Americans. We are not as skinny as our
01:39European friends. The cabins are beautiful, but they're typical MSC, a little bit small. The American
01:47outlets look like European outlets, so you have to sort of like force your plug-in. I think that's
01:51going to be off-putting to a lot of people. That said, there is a lot of USB ports. It is very easy
01:56to connect, to hook up. Overall, the pool deck is stunning. It's the nicest pool I've ever seen,
02:01the largest. And then the adult pool area is multiple pools. It's sort of split up because
02:06the ship has an open area. Really, really well done with plenty of shade, a really nice bar.
02:11Dennis, anything else you want to add? Casino. We like the casino. Wide open, spread out. The bar was
02:16amazing. Spectacular casino bar. Really big casino bar. I know we're very bar-oriented so far,
02:22but we haven't done anything. We went to the buffet. The buffet is a little bit tricky. It has a lot of
02:27little stations, so if you don't really do a walk around, and I'm talking like maybe a third of the
02:32back of the ship, you're going to miss things. There was a shrimp cocktail station. We totally missed it.
02:37So there is a lot to discover here. We will do an update at the end of this three days. I will do
02:42something again when I'm on this ship in June. I am Dan Klein. He is Dennis Post. Come cruise with us soon.
