About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Come along as we board the MSC World America for its inaugural sailing. Not only is the World America brand new, it's also MSC's largest ship, has the largest water park of the MSC fleet, the world's only over water swing ride at sea, the world's longest dry slide at sea, and a few other things you probably won't find on any other cruise ship. While there are a ton of events and activities to keep cruisers entertained, we weren't sure we were going to love the World America, as we've heard some cruisers complain that these new mega-ships are just way too big. In this video we share our brutally honest experiences and first impressions from our time on board the MSC World America. Are you ready to cruise on the World America?
