Creator's Key Takeaways

I definitely saw differences between Royal and Carnival, which is to be expected. Um some I don't necessarily think anything was a bad difference.

The crew was phenomenal. They got the big windows right there at the schooner bar. It's real nice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

When using smart elevators on MSC, remember to press the floor button for every person in your party.

LIVE Saturday • 8PM CST / 9PM EST Subscribe to Kat & Matt for cruise tips, honest reviews, live discussions, and practical advice to help you Cruise Smarter. Not Harder.We're making a guest appearance on The Usual Suspects this Saturday, which means there's a very good chance at least one of us says something we probably shouldn't. We'll be hanging out with Eddie Lugo, CNS Travel, and the rest of the crew talking cruises, cruise news, content creation, travel stories, and whatever rabbit holes the conversation decides to wander down. No scripts. No corporate talking points. No pretending every cruise is perfect. Just a bunch of cruise people talking about the stuff we'd be discussing anyway if we were sitting around a bar onboard.

Should be a fun one.
