Day 7 and the final report from MSC World America brings us to the last stop on this Eastern Caribbean cruise, MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay Marine Reserve in The Bahamas. As I do with all my final day reports, I’ll wrap things up at the end with my overall…

Day 6 on MSC World America was another sea day as we made our way toward the final port of call on this cruise, MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve in The Bahamas. So far, the weather has been more than cooperative, and on a ship this size that really matters.…

Day 5 on MSC World America is the first of two back-to-back sea days as we make our way to our final port of call on this cruise, MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve in The Bahamas, where we’ll be spending the day on Friday. One thing about MSC’s 7-night Eastern…

Day 4 on MSC World America sees us visiting one of my favorite ports of call in the Caribbean, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and what makes today even better is that we’re here until 11 p.m. World America arrived around 8:00 this morning, the all clear to go ashore was…
