Creator's Key Takeaways

we've never cruised with MSC before we've never cruised with anyone other than virgin before

we're going to try our best to go on with an open mind because the reviews weren't the best

that was the smoothest checking process we literally did not stop walking

it's very different it's very bright and blingy

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-book parking at NCP for security and convenience
Arrive early to avoid long check-in times
Keep an open mind when trying a new cruise line
