Creator's Key Takeaways

Our very first MSSE cruise on the MSSE Magnifica left us a little bit hungry.

Butcher's Cut on the other hand, chef's kiss. 100% worth it.

I do wish that they would change that. But overall, the food, the atmosphere at Ocean K pretty good.

The dining package overall, do I think it was worth it? Yes, I do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go straight to one of the restaurants when you get on board to book times before they fill up.

✓Pre-book the specialty dining package if you plan to use it, as it is cheaper.

✓If you want full menu access, buy a reservation for the specific restaurant once on board instead of a package.
