[00:00] This is the world's newest luxury cruise [00:01] ship with tons of theme park rides, a [00:03] swing that takes you over the edge, [00:05] first class luxury suites, a sports [00:07] arena, and tons of five-star [00:09] restaurants. It's basically an entire city on a ship. Let's explore it all on its first ever sailing as we travel to a private island. This is huge. Welcome to the Sea World America, your home away from home. When you first walk in, it's [00:22] a little overwhelming because the entire [00:23] ceiling is covered by the largest screen [00:25] I've ever seen. It's like a shopping mall area with stores, a barber shop, and restaurants. Plus, there's a luxury chocolate shop where you can get tons of desserts or even see these giant chocolate sculptures. Is that made out of real chocolate? That's crazy. There's [00:39] even an arcade, but as an adult, I [00:41] definitely don't have time for it. You're on fire. Play a game. Anyways, let's go find our room. The ship we're on is called MSE World America. It's brand new [00:55] and can hold over 7,000 people. So, thanks to MSE for sponsoring this video and inviting us to its first ever sailing. Anyways, here we are. Welcome to our room. Uh, of course is our bed. [01:05] This is comfortable. Pretty nice, modern, cool lights on the back. Next to the bed, there's a couch with a view of the outside TV. Cool painting of Paris. Pretty nice desk area. Looking [01:16] good, Drew. Hey, thank you. Outside this door is our balcony. Oh, man. We haven't left yet, so we just have a view of Miami. We're really [01:24] living the sweet life now. But you even get a full mini bar stocked with snacks and drinks. Very nice. Love these. But my favorite part of the room you might not expect. There are two bunk beds in [01:34] addition to the main bed. This way, I guess an entire family can fit in the suite. There's actually so much room in this solid nap spot. And if you're bad, this is where you're sleeping. Yep. Get [01:44] in. So, technically we're in a normal balcony cabin, but later we'll explore the cheapest and most expensive suites on the ship to review everything this cruise has to offer and see if I'd want to come back. But let's take the elevator up to deck 18 where the fun really starts because this is where you'll find most of the ship's activities. This is a massive gym for a cruise ship and it has the best view of the onboard swimming pool. There's a foot analysis machine. What does that [02:06] do? Across from the gym is the basketball court. This is like a full-size court and then you can take the stairs to one of my favorite rooms on the entire ship. Here you can build basically anything you can imagine out of Legos. I guess they even have Lego parades every day. Little Drew would [02:19] have loved this. And then you can walk right outside and find the Aquade deck. This is where you'll find the ship's rides. Cool thing about these water slides is they actually keep score of your time, so they can keep a record of how fast you can go down there. I tried to beat the record of 12 seconds, but I had no chance. I was too slow. But up [02:33] here, there's even a shark slide called [02:34] the Jaw Drop that will let you travel [02:36] from deck 20 to deck 8, so I'll be [02:38] trying that. There's a baby lighthouse slide, a rope course, and this thing, the cliffhanger. It's the only overwater swing ride on a cruise ship. That is terrifying. So, if you're someone who'd rather relax, you can go here. This is [02:51] the zen area. It's the place on the ship you come to if you just want to have a chill day, you can walk on the end of the ship with this cool view, relax in a pool or a hot tub surrounded by a garden, or enjoy some of the best ocean views on the ship. So, of course, that's where I found Sam. And while we were chilling by the pool, we noticed something. Look, there's celebrities on our ship. OMG, it's Drew Barrymore. I [03:10] guess they're filming a commercial. Orlando Bloom and Drew Barrymore are famous actors that were in the commercial for the ship, and now I guess they're on board filming more. Her name is Drew. You love people named Drew. He's literally the guy from Pirates of the Caribbean. We run into pirates. We [03:24] have one of our own. This is the first time MSE World America is ever sailing with passengers, so everything's a little special on this trip, and it's just getting started. The ship is about to set sail for the very first time. But first, there's an official naming ceremony. It's like a fancy event where the ship officially gets its name. And [03:38] we are supposed to go to it, but there's [03:39] one rule. You have to dress super fancy. And that's not really something I do. I mean, look at me. So, let's try to get ready and head to the ceremony. I basically just bought [03:50] a blazer and threw it over a t-shirt. How do I look? Very handsome. I guess this is an important cruise because thousands of employees worked for years to build this ship, and today's the day it's finally setting sail. There was like a special presentation with the actors we saw earlier, but I think we chose the wrong seats because giant chandeliers were blocking our view. But [04:07] after the naming ceremony, there was a [04:08] huge party on the top deck with a crazy [04:10] light up drone show in the sky. It was really impressive. Like, how is that possible? And that's when the live music started and people started going crazy on the dance floor kind of. But in all seriousness, it was really fun. We had a great time. [04:25] All right, [04:28] we're going to bed. [Music] Good morning. I think I lost my voice from yelling at that party last night. While we were asleep, we left port and sailed to Ocean Key, MSE's own private island. I've never been to a private island before, but I guess there's a lot we can do. There are [04:47] people riding jet skis, really fancy [04:50] boats, and I guess they're even building [04:51] another island. I didn't know you could do that. So, we definitely have to explore that today. But first, let's get some breakfast. And when you're hungry on a cruise, there's one place you got to go. This is the main area on the ship [05:02] where you would come eat at any time of [05:04] the day and there will be food for you. You can get almost any type of food here. And of course, it's all free. Every dessert you could imagine and this. But it's early, so I just went for some sausages, potatoes, and pancakes. [05:15] Pretty solid, simple breakfast. But you can eat anything here. So, I couldn't believe what Sam chose. She got one dragon fruit. And I love toast. And I [05:24] really like beans on it. Of basically any food imaginable, she chose beans on toast. M. Look at that. That is insane. But now, let's step off [05:35] the ship to start our review with MSE's [05:37] private island. It's called Ocean Key, and it's technically in the Bahamas, but apparently MSE spent over $und00 million to renovate the island and make it a paradise. It's like how you would imagine an island in your dreams. I guess this is island life. This is what it's all about. I guess everyone was [05:52] just enjoying the weather, the super [05:54] blue water, even the birds. Imagine being a seagull that just lives on a private island. You get like free leftover fries from all the tourists coming over from the cruise. Sounds like a nice life. But I'm here to review the island. So, let's explore. There's an [06:07] ice cream shop, apartments where the [06:08] island's employees live and their jet [06:10] skis, and of course, plenty of stores [06:12] selling souvenirs to the tourists. I thought about buying these $15 soaps, a hat, or maybe one of these fish for Sam. And that's when I learned something crazy from the store shopkeeper. Did you say there's a baby shark now? Really? [06:22] Water. He just swims around. Still a baby. He's either a baby or a juvenile. Do you live here on Ocean Key? Wow. [06:28] What's that like? Pretty fine so far. And I'm supposed to go snorkeling cuz I give the guest with the snorkel and the jet ski. So I got to try it. Hi Drew. [06:35] Cool to meet you. Good to meet you. I'll go check out the shark. So apparently Wana said there's a baby shark you can meet on the island. I got to find this. [06:42] On a mission to find a baby shark. Do you know what the South Beach Lagoon is? They told me there's a baby shark there. Yeah, there's a baby shark here. Okay. [06:48] Two of them. Wow. Thank you. I guess it's real. I thought I was in the right place, so I asked this lifeguard. Not at [06:55] this far. Okay. This is like the kids lagoon. I guess I went to the wrong beach, but he told me I wasn't too far away. I'll go find them. Do you live [07:02] here on the island? Yes, sir. How is it? How's life? Good. It's very strategic. [07:06] It's very nice. They really, you know, me stay inside most of the time when I go to land when I go home. So, it's very nice for me. Cool. What's your name? My [07:13] name is Von. Everyone call me Von. Von. Okay. Drew. Nice to meet you. I'll go [07:17] find those sharks. Yes, sir. Thank you. Everyone here has been extremely nice. I can only imagine what it's like to live on a private island. I heard baby sharks [07:25] live here. Is that true? Yeah. Are they dangerous? Nah, not at all. I'll try to [07:29] pet one. Nice. Okay, just look at them. Yeah, just look at them. Okay, good. Thank you. Don't [07:34] pet them. Do they bite? I started getting a little nervous. So far, nothing. At least in this shallow water, I don't see any fish. I spent about 20 [07:43] minutes hunting and I just found [07:45] nothing. Not even a fish. So far, no luck. I guess I'll have to come back. I found tons of videos of people who found the babies, but for me, it wasn't meant to be. I'm still giving the private [07:54] island a 3.8, but I wish I found the baby. So, let's get back on board to review the ship's cabins. There are many different levels of suites on the ship, but we'll start with the smallest, cheapest room on the ship. It's called the studio interior room, which means it has no windows, but it can cost only about $100 per person per night. It's [08:10] just a really small box room with a bed [08:12] and a little desk area. The bed isn't the biggest, but at least you still get your own TV, and the bathroom isn't too bad. You get a shower and a sink. It's definitely not that much space, but on a cruise, you're not going to spend that much time in the room anyways. So, if you want to travel by yourself and pay less, it's a it's a good deal. But now, [08:28] it's time to get dressed, head up to the [08:29] yacht club, and see the nicest suites on [08:31] the ship. Seriously, to enter the fanciest part of the ship, there's a dress code here. Here, I met up with some other creators, and we learned that MSE Yach Club guests get their own private part of the ship and their own personal butler that can do almost anything for you. I wish I had a butler. Luckily, we got to meet one named Ana. [08:46] Ana. Yeah. Anga told us that sometimes guests might ask for some weird requests. So, anything a guest asks, it's your job. What about back massage? [08:54] No. He explained that guests can just text or call their butler anytime there's something they need. Has anyone asked like just to spend time with them because they're lonely? Thank you. But our tour continued with the private areas yach club members get to eat in the private yacht club dining room. It even has a spiral crystal [09:12] staircase. This is the most expensive staircase ever seen. Apparently, it's made entirely out of real Sarovski crystals. It literally sparkles. It literally look like the diamond I should get my wife. I didn't think stairs could [09:25] be the most exciting part of a cruise. This is sick. I even found this table with just one thing on it. What are these? Those are bowls. This is what [09:32] fancy people put in the middle of their [09:33] tables. They're fish bowls with flowers in them, so you beat the flowers. I have no idea. But to get yach club access, you just have to book one of the nicer cabins on the ship, which can get expensive, but they can come with things like private hot tubs and lounge areas in your cabin. We got to explore this luxury suite that is humongous. Has an [09:50] entire living room, bigger TV, and [09:52] there's a staircase. This is crazy. This is so much better than the other suites. Your cabin has a second floor just for your bedroom. There's two stories of windows. Cabins get a five out of five [10:02] cuz I literally could move here. But to review the activities first, there's something we have to do. This is Supra, who helped us sign our activities waiver. Do you want to be in my video? Yeah, definitely. What is your favorite [10:12] ride or thing up here? Okay. When I'm at sea, it's Cliffhanger and then later on do the adventure trail. Again, it became clear Supra is the expert about what to do on the ship. The best restaurant on the ship. Uh K to Sushi Bar. That's the [10:25] bestest place where they have sushi. You will love it. And he even asked about my channel. Here we go. Newest subscriber. [10:31] Thank you. You're welcome. Nice to meet you. So, I took his advice and tried the cliffhanger swing. It's the only swing in the world on a cruise ship that slowly raises you up and sends you flying over the edge. That was insane. [10:42] The view from up there is indescribable. But to properly review the activities, I had to try the jaw-drop shark slide, which goes really fast and takes you from deck 19 all the way to deck 8. It was actually pretty smooth. But immediately when you get off the slide, there's a ton more to do. This is World's Prominade. It's like an outdoor [10:58] luxury shopping mall you get to by going [11:00] down the slide. Of course, there are fancy stores selling watches. The most expensive one I could find was $42,000. So, I guess instead you could always buy these $14,000 bracelets. I even found a store called Luxury Accessories, which sells exactly what you would guess. There's a candy shop [11:15] with a candy couch. And inside, it feels like you're walking into candy land. I sat on a macaroon and found ice cream on the walls. Like, I walked into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. You can get these shakes for $10 that look incredible. There's a candy wall or you [11:29] can buy these squish pillows for $40. It's kind of mind-blowing the sheer amount of things you can do on this ship. Shops get an easy 4.4 and we're not even done with activities yet. Back to the room. So, on this cruise, every [11:39] night has a different theme. And tonight, it's white night. Everyone apparently has to wear all white. Because we're MSE's own private island, they're throwing a special concert on the beach. And there's also bumper cars. [11:49] So, my goal, win bumper cars, and then [11:51] party on a private island. Sounds like a fun night. First were our bumper car reservations. Look who showed up. How do you know if we win? Uh, you hit [12:00] the most people with the car. So, that was exactly my plan. And as it turns out, bumper cars on a cruise ship can actually get intense. [Music] Call the insurance. Aggressive got wrecked. You almost [12:20] killed us. That was not my fault. I believe I like that. That's the only time I've ever been bumper car driving on a basketball court on a cruise ship at a private island. That's the craziest sense I've ever seen. And just like that, it's party [12:35] time. Everyone really did wear all white clothes and the beach was packed with everyone [Music] dancing. Oops. But this is literally the only move I know. Late at night, the only option for food is pizza and hot dogs and burgers. What a nutritious meal. Looks [12:56] like the healthiest meal I've ever seen. You're the one eating mystery me. She's kind of right. I don't really know what's in a hot dog. But still, it's time for bed. [13:05] Good morning. As you can see, I have a very delicious breakfast in front of me. And we have a lot planned for today. Apparently, we have a special reservation at one of the ship's best restaurants. Go to Sushi Bar. That's the [13:15] bestest place where they have sushi. He said it was one of the best restaurants on the ship. So that's where we went for lunch. You start out with a sushi appetizer and then watch the world's coolest chef get to work. His name is Alan and he's a magician with a spatula. He leads the table in [13:31] songs and shows off his moves while [13:33] cooking. He made an anaconda out of eggs named Anna. And he gave Anna a pretty good life before ending it. What a short life. But now we have this egg fried rice that actually was really good. Honestly, this [13:55] entire meal was incredible. Alan did such a good job while also being the entertainment. Because of him, I'm giving food six stars. Yeah, I'm breaking the rules. That was incredible. One of the best [14:09] meals I've ever had. Not to mention having it on a cruise ship. But now we're back out at sea. So, there's a major activity we still need to try. The adventure trail. Excited. It's MSE's [14:19] rope course, which takes you high above [14:21] the ship. But the only problem is we've never tried one before. And this sign, so the difficulty level was hard. What does that mean? It's hard. But luckily, [14:29] we ran into our friend Supra from [14:30] yesterday. How are you? How are you? Good. Good. Welcome back to the vlog. We [14:32] went to your restaurant. Uh, really? Yeah. You You tried it? Yeah. Perfect. [14:36] Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Supra told us not to be too stressed, but I don't like heights. The trail started off mostly easy. We're strapped in, but it still scary. And you [14:45] can definitely tell Sam was pretty [14:46] nervous. And as we got higher on the trail, it definitely got more difficult, but we started getting comfortable. The view from up here is crazy. I even got to try the zipline that sends you flying across the ship. But somehow Sam got stuck on it. We got it. But she still [14:59] made it across and it perfectly prepared [15:00] her when she had to try the next one. We did it. I conquered a fear. That was actually fun. That was awesome. This was [15:08] easily one of our favorite parts on the [15:09] ship. Easy. Four and a half stars. I don't know. I I'm not really good at this reviewing thing. The sun's starting [15:14] to [15:15] set. I need a snack. When you're hungry, you're hungry. And I'm just really grateful for the opportunity to make videos like this for you guys and to eat dinner with like the most amazing view in the world. This is crazy. [15:39] Later, we noticed a ton of people were [15:41] crowding around this artist. There were people stopped on every deck to watch what he was about to create. Honestly, I was confused at first, but then he started on his masterpiece painting with everything except for a paintbrush. He used his fingers, his hat. Then, just after a few more minutes, it was almost done. There was just one last step for [15:57] his painting to make sense. He painted the entire time upside down. That was so impressive. like going to the car. That was so amazing. It took [16:08] him just like 20 minutes and it turned [16:10] out incredible. I've had a really good time. Obviously, huge thanks to MSE for sponsoring this video and asking us to come on the ship. We've had such a good time. All the employees and people we've met have just been so nice and sweet. [16:21] Even though I'm here to review a cruise [16:23] ship, it really has felt like a great [16:24] vacation. At night, we just took it easy. Sam played Roblox. We watched a movie. I just realized how rare it is to get to be on the very first sailing of a new cruise. [16:34] Somehow, we even saw the ship from our [16:36] airplane when we were leaving Miami. And it just wouldn't have been possible without MSE for inviting us and sponsoring this video. They even gave me a coupon code, Drew 10, in case any of you guys want to experience it and get 10% off. The ship itself was incredible. And I know this wasn't the most serious review. It is sponsored, so I'm just [16:50] grateful for them to invite me on. But for me, by far the best part was getting to meet all the amazing crew members that made this trip possible. So, thanks to Supra, Alan, Anga, Vaughn, and Wet, I won't be forgetting this trip soon.
