Creator's Key Takeaways
my experiences on that MSC cruise that I spoke about because I'd booked the yacht club which is their little closed-off area
I use the main dining room for both breakfast and if it's open for lunch people tend to use the buffet the crowds use the buffet for breakfast and lunch
use the stairs not the elevators now on these big ships of course it's a lot of stairs so that can be a little bit challenging
stay on the ship on a port day is one fantastic way of winning the crowds pretty much everybody will get off the pool be quiet
