Creator's Key Takeaways

i love cruising and i love christmas but when i booked an msc cruise that included christmas day on the ship i had no idea what to expect

i was absolutely amazed by this central street that runs through the middle of the msc marivillia i was amazed by the pool deck the ropes course the general design of the ship

the lack of christmas decorations didn't impact our cruise at all though it just surprised me that it wasn't more christmasy

the main christmas dinner on this cruise did include quite a lot of seafood which makes sense for an italian cruise line from memory it was pretty good

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want a christmassy vibe on a cruise but don't want to pay the premium, cruise earlier in the month when ships are decorated.

YouTube Video Description

When I booked an MSC cruise that included Christmas day onboard, I didn't know what to expect. The result was a cruise that I will never forget, for many reasons! The cruise took place onboard the MSC Meravglia and we visited Italy, Spain, France, and Malta during the 7-night cruise. In this video, I talk about food, entertainment, Christmas decorations, and more. ▶ Weekly Updates: http://EmmaCruises.com/News ▶ Book a Cruise: https://EmmaCruises.com/Book-a-Cruise/ Let’s Connect! ▶ https://EmmaCruises.com/SocialLinks *** ▶ Background World Map: https://emmacruises.com/recommends/wood-world-map/ (Affiliate link) emma@emmacruises.com
