Creator's Key Takeaways

We're doing something we never thought we'd do. Going on an MSC cruise.

You're a different class. It's right off the bat.

The yacht club pool area. Okay, that's a home run.

This cruise cost us $1,800 a night, which is so much more than we've ever paid for.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider your travel party's needs, especially if traveling with family, as MSC is more family-oriented.

✓If you value entertainment quality, Celebrity has superior shows.

✓If you want a private island experience, MSC Yacht Club offers a standout perk.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Feeling overwhelmed by the number of people on MSC ships — The Yacht Club provides a secluded compound, but be prepared for a busier ship overall.

Choosing between a family-friendly or adult-oriented cruise — MSC is more family-oriented with kid-friendly areas, while Celebrity is more adult-focused.
