World of Boating 8-29-26

Anywho, I was on a boat.

It was actually an MSC cruise.

First time I've went and cruised with that cruise line.

They are one of the newest cruise companies to get into this area of boating.

And they're actually one of the largest or the largest, too, because they come from the shipping world.

And MSC was huge in shipping container vessels around the world.

And they said, okay, we're tired of Carnival and Royal Caribbean and all these guys getting all the money.

We're going to do our own cruise line.

So

you cruised on a container ship?

Well, that's where the company's roots are, and they didn't come out of nowhere.

They have plenty of cruising experience because of that, but they're kind of the new kids on the block compared to Carnival and Royal Caribbean or even Virgin.

I think they're newer than Virgin.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe, I don't know if Virgin Voyages came out before MSC or not, maybe around the same time.

But they've been out a few years now.

But I have not been on an MSC cruise yet.

So they got a lot of new cruise ships out there.

And most of them are newer because of that.

They're a newer company, right? And I've heard things that kind of came on.

Shook the industry up quite a bit for offering up pretty cheap cruise fares.

And the cruise that I went on was pretty economical compared to other cruise lines out there.

So I wanted to give them a go and did a little four-nighter out of Miami.

Went over to the Bahamas, Nassau for a day.

Went to their private island.
