Creator's Key Takeaways

so it's one month after our first ever MSC cruise and it's time to give our thoughts on this cruise

the food offerings we thought were really poor apart from the pizza of course which was amazing

we witnessed a fair few examples of where we would have expected the crew to treat passengers a little better

we certainly don't want this video to put you off an MSC cruise
