Creator's Key Takeaways

we ended up booking a 7 Day on MSC which we've never cruised before we never Cruis MSC before but we're going to give it a go

the portions were so tiny and you can't request more than one main course

we're paying about half the money so this is what we're paying for more stuff for more stuff

Creator's Tips & Advice

Place a low bid on the Yacht Club upgrade if you're concerned about ship crowds and dining issues.
Watch YouTube reviews to research both positive and negative aspects of a specific ship.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We recently purchased a "cheap" cruise on MSC CRUISE LINES on the MSC MERAVIGLIA to tide us over until out next BIG cruise with PRINCESS CRUISE LINES. As we started doing our research we became more concerned that some of the negative things we heard about the ship (long lines, small main dining room portions, large crowds) would ruin our cruise so we decided to place the lowest bid on the Yacht Club and.....well......we won! Watch this video to find out how much our "cheap" cruise is costing us now and WILL IT BANKRUPT US!?! #msccruise #mscmeraviglia #cruisevacation We are Laurie & Gary a married couple that both have a passion for Cruise Ship Travel!
