Creator's Key Takeaways

MSC has a unique way of offering discounts on their dining plans.

The Yacht Club is better than any specialty restaurant that you're going to go to on the ship.

If you want to try out some of these restaurants, I think it's worth it.

Know what you want out of your cruise and then tailor it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book specialty dining packages in advance to save money.
✓Check your onboard account halfway through the cruise to avoid billing issues.
✓Book all specialty dining reservations as soon as you get on board.
✓If in Yacht Club, consider sticking to included dining unless you want sushi or tacos for fun.
