Creator's Key Takeaways

You can often snag a balcony stateateroom for what other lines charge for an inside cabin.

The service style feels very different. MSE's service is often described as more European meaning it's efficient, it's polite and professional, but sometimes just far less chatty.

The buffet food is a cut above a lot of major American cruise lines, and they very well may have the best pizza at sea.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the MSC for Me app before boarding and double-check your times and dining assignments.
If you're in the yacht club, you'll get escorted straight to Ocean Cay's exclusive beach.
Make sure to protect your feet on Ocean Cay's rocky terrain.
Book theater shows in advance as they can sell out quickly.
