Creator's Key Takeaways

I've recently experienced both of these, and I'm going to break it down for you today on Seymour Seas.

I believe MSC has a much much better design than the Celebrity Cruises Retreat.

I feel that the cuisine choices and the quality was just a little bit better on Celebrity in Lumina.

MSC Yacht Club provides a wonderful breakfast buffet as well as a lunch buffet where you do not have to leave the yacht club.
