Creator's Key Takeaways

I did not expect to enjoy the Brazino as much as I did.

It's a different show than what you're used to seeing.

We're on a cruise having fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you need wheelchair assistance, know that you cannot accompany the person using the ship's wheelchair; you must check in separately and meet them on board.
βœ“If you get the alcohol-free unlimited beverage package, know that it does not work in specialty dining; you will pay for sodas and water there.
βœ“If you usually switch devices for Wi-Fi, note that MSC requires pairing a specific device; you cannot easily unpair and use another.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

App and Wi-Fi setup difficulties β€” Be prepared for multiple attempts to check in; use old-school passport method if app fails.
Specialty dining beverage package limitations β€” Know that alcohol-free package doesn't cover drinks in specialty dining; budget for extra costs.
