Creator's Key Takeaways

I have never been on an MSE cruise. I got this cruise through a casino offer.

It has been a bit of a grind in the casino to earn some points.

The problem really is is the lack of variety in the size of the casino. Casino is very, very small.

To get 5,000 points for an interior on a fiveday cruise, $3 a point means you have to cycle through $15,000 into that machine.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Provide proof of other casino offers to negotiate a comped cruise.

✓Aim for 5,000 points to earn a basic interior cruise on MSC.

✓Compare coin-in rates between cruise lines for better value.
