Creator's Key Takeaways

We did choose to do that on a couple of occasions uh just to boost us up. So we are now actually diamond members on it here.

We found with this one that there was no need to buy any excursions at all from MSC. You can buy them all at every port um literally half off price compared to paying on board.

We've been on this ship a few times now and 15 minutes is the longest it's ever took us to get off.

Always had a good steak here. Hello. Quick video. And you can watch them cook your dinner. Been to this one about four or five times now over the cruisers and steaks are wonderful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions at ports instead of on board to save money.
Use the self-assist disembarkation option to get off the ship early.
Scan QR codes for daily programs instead of using paper versions.
Take photos of crew name tags to review your favorite staff.

Pool towel service chargesYou get two towels in your cabin and must leave two to avoid a $20 charge; you can exchange them daily.
