Creator's Key Takeaways

We just completed the second MSC cruise to ever sail out of Galveastston, Texas.

I thought the food in the buffet was, you know, okay, and I'm not really a buffet person, but I thought the pizza was very good.

The loyalty program MSE offers is actually very good. Be sure to take advantage of the matching they have for whatever you have loyalty status you have.

I think MSSE is going hard at the Carnival and Royal Caribbean markets for sure. They're where they're doing their ships, their pricing and all that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining packages before boarding to get better values.
Use the VIP parking service at Galveston for easy embarkation and disembarkation.
Call the special reservation number for diamond members to secure specialty dining times.
