Creator's Key Takeaways

i am lucky enough to have just disembarked from my fifth cruise of 2020 just less than a week ago

msc is definitely without a doubt in every category at the bottom of the list when it comes to food offerings

i experience pretty fantastic service on msc so if the conditions are really bad then it's amazing that the service is still so good

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a standard balcony cabin and avoid the mini cabin with bunk beds.
โœ“Wear a mask and stick with the group on excursions to avoid being denied boarding.
โœ“Try the specialty sushi restaurant for a good value experience.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I boarded the MSC Grandiosa on October 6th, 2020, for a journey to several Italian ports, also including Malta. While onboard, I ate at the buffet, the MDR, a specialty restaurant for sushi, got to tour 2 balcony cabins, a yacht club cabin, and an inside cabin, drank many a cocktail, did a bike excursion, and altogether had a pretty good time! In this special edition of Sofatime, I did a run down of several of the elements of the cruise. #grandiosa #msc #cruise More from this ship: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZU7lBfJXxcR6lXM43PRFGGCo-DHB3Ypm Get your "Washy Washy" T-Shirts and "BRB" Towels here: www.teespring.com/stores/very-unofficial-travel-guides Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Like the music?
