Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm here on board a 7-night sailing for a change on the MSC Grandiosa. And I am finding that I'm splurging on a few things.

It's my favorite private island that is out there. One of the reasons I love it is because of the smiling fish.

I decided to go to see Strings, which I hear is the better of the two options. Um paid the $18 and went, and it was a wonderful show.

I ordered their gelato. Not just the gelato, I ordered a milkshake. So, you know that it came with several scoops of gelato and milk, and then they put this amazing cream on top of it as well.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the soft serve ice cream at Ocean Cay for a refreshing treat.
Consider attending one Cirque du Soleil show at the Carousel for a high-energy experience.
Visit Jean-Philippe for gelato or espresso to splurge on specialty drinks.

YouTube Video Description

Seven nights on the MSC Grandiosa will do something to you. And for me? It meant spending money I don't normally spend — on things I didn't expect to love as much as I did. In this video I'm breaking down every extra I paid for on board the MSC Grandiosa, from a stop at one of my all-time favorite spots on any private island at sea, to a paid entertainment experience in one of the most unique venues at sea, to a chocolatier I kept finding excuses to return to every single day. Some of it was 100% worth it. Some of it... I wouldn't order again. You'll have to watch to find out which is which. Featured on this video: - Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve hidden gem stop - Carousel lounge & Circus Olé at Sea (Strings show) - Jean-Philippe Patisserie & Chocolat — hot chocolate, espresso, pastries, gelato milkshake & soufflé crepe Total splurge breakdown included so you can budget your own sailing.
