Miami World America, y'All! First night aboard America's newest Cruise Ship!

Miami World America, y'All! First night aboard America's newest Cruise Ship!

I head out for the evening on MSC World America, aiming for the Miami party and hoping to snap photos in my costume, which gets lots of compliments. I check out the Palm Tree Show on the World Promenade, but the cruise director’s announcement drowns it out, so I plan to try again tomorrow. Searching for late-night snacks, I find Luna Park’s pizza and burger spot open until 2 a.m., enjoying a tasty pepperoni pizza. I catch part of the Queen production show in the Panorama Lounge, finding it decent but not my favorite, and grab a strawberry-Nutella gelato afterward. The Miami party at Luna Park Arena is just a DJ set, and I arrive a bit late, noting the chill vibe. I visit the piano bar, enjoy some Johnny Cash tunes, and check out the whiskey selection at Elixir’s private room. The Panorama Lounge feels too big and quiet for a late-night venue, reminding me of Explorer 1’s low energy. Running into cruise friends keeps me out late, but I miss late-night food as Luna Park closes and room service doesn’t answer. Reflecting on the day, I love the new ship despite minor issues like missing ginger beer at the Zen Bar and MSC’s app lacking dining hours. I’m grateful for the experience and excited to share more of this cruise with my viewers.
