Creator's Key Takeaways

So this is a 10 night cruise uh visiting ports in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France.

It's our first time experiencing a smaller MSSE ship as well, which we're quite interested in what that's going to bring.

We've gone for an inside cabin on this sailing. It's actually a really nice cabin. We weren't sure what to expect really with it being an older ship. Um, but actually we're quite impressed.

Boarding was really quick, wasn't it? We on probably less than 5 minutes from checking our bags and it's definitely easier that MSC board at different ports.
