Creator's Key Takeaways

we have loved our experience on MSC but we also realized that MSC may not be for everyone

the yacht club is better than norwegian's Haven

the food was okay we didn't have a single bad meal it was all good but with just a few exceptions we really weren't wowed by by the food

MSC sells what they call the fun pass it gives you unlimited bowling unlimited driving on the F1 simulator and all the 4D experiences you want to go to and the cost was just a hundred and twelve dollars

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy the fun pass for unlimited activities instead of paying per game
βœ“Consider the yacht club for better value and service compared to similar offerings on other lines
βœ“Be prepared for a multicultural environment with multiple languages spoken

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Language barrier on excursions β€” Be prepared for guides to translate between German and English, as most passengers are European
Portion sizes in main dining room β€” You can ask for seconds and thirds, but portions are more moderate than American cruise lines
Entertainment not Broadway-style β€” Don't expect spectacular shows; focus on lounge musicians and other activities

After 23 days on the MSC Preziosa, Jan and Tracey give their thoughts on the MSC Preziosa and the MSC cruise line itself and conclude that it isn't a cruise line for everyone. The review is presented in several sections which begins with a description of the ship, our cabin, the Yacht Club, service, food, entertainment, and the excursions. Then we discuss who the MSC cruise line might not be right for before outlining our top three likes and top three dislikes of the MSC Preziosa before our verdict of our time on this back-to-back cruise of the Baltics and Norwegian fjords.
