Creator's Key Takeaways

Grandiosa right now is one of my favorite ships at the time being.

I thought the free food was okay. Nothing special, but okay.

MSC had amazing specialty dining for an amazing value.

Ocean K is the most beautiful island I've probably ever been to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the specialty dining package for the best value and quality.
Try the omelet station for breakfast; it's fantastic.
Don't try the brownies on Ocean Cay; they are terrible.
