Creator's Key Takeaways

I love Carnival. They've been ticking me off lately, and I know fights can happen on any cruise line, but it does seem to be a Carnival problem.

I personally am not afraid of them. I just recently did MSE World America where I did their cliffhanger ride which takes you out over the ocean. Not scary at all in my opinion.

MSC has been coming for the US market, and I am here for it. This is great news for families looking for more options for loyal Carnival Cruisers that are ticked off at their formerly favorite cruise line.

Now, the godmother tradition is supposed to bestow good luck on a ship. So, it's really interesting to see such a high-profile change so close to the christristening.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have status on another cruise line, take it to MSC or Virgin Voyages to get it matched.
Bookings for Carnival Festive Val are now open if you want to be among the first to experience it.
