Creator's Key Takeaways

I love the rooms I love that there was a lot of space in the rooms I didn't feel cluttered

their Island was amazing um it's nice because your ship is right there on the dock

MSE Cruises was a lot cheaper than if we went with Princess or Carnival or Holland America

the buffet was a big let down for us I mean it wasn't the quality of food that we had experienced on other cruise lines

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Last year we tried MSC Cruises for the first time on a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise from Cape Canaveral in Orlando, Florida. Our itinerary took us to Nassau, the MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. We did quite a bit of research before our cruise and it felt like there were a lot of polarized opinions; people either loved it or they hated it. After 7 days on the MSC Seaside we definitely found a lot of pro's to cruising with MSC, but we also experienced quite a few con's as well. We happened to be on the first trip that the MSC Seaside took after it failed the health inspection, and definitely noticed the aftermath with food shortages and issues. We're considering cruising with MSC again in hopes that maybe the logistics have been resolved. Would you guys cruise MSC? Do you think we should book again and put together a daily vlog?
