Creator's Key Takeaways
The food itself was good, and there is plenty of options on the menu, but the service could be a bit all over the place.
People always say MSSE has some of the best pizza at sea. And on MSE Poisia, it really was pretty good.
Kao Sushi, and this was genuinely the standout meal for me. The food was fabulous.
The overall standard and consistency didn't quite match Princess or Royal Caribbean, and the difference I noticed most was in service rather than the food itself.
