Creator's Key Takeaways

first time I'm MSC have to admit food was fantastic service was fantastic

the ship is gorgeous don't get me wrong very clean and there's so many parts of it

I have to give it a solid eight I I have to admit I'm a big Norwegian person and comparing it to them it was equal even better

the only thing I would say was negative about it was when you disembarked especially in Canaveral it was terrible it was so bad
