Creator's Key Takeaways
I went through hundreds of verified reviews from Cruise Critic, Trustpilot, and Consumer Affairs.
Princess has an identity crisis. The older ships feel tired. Worn carpets, dated rooms.
MSC builds gorgeous ships. Italian design stunning atriums. Then you board and it's chaos.
The loyalty program was completely restructured. Passengers with 20 cruises under their belt had their status wiped overnight.
