Creator's Key Takeaways

I think this is an amazing way to try MSC MSC has a lot of very affordable cruises

two people can be on the same cruise ship at the same time and have really different experiences

everywhere that we have ever been in the world they take credit cards so credit cards are a very handy thing to take

they really enjoyed the Diamond Princess it felt very cozy compared to the enchanted princess that they had just been on

Creator's Tips & Advice

Apply for MSC status match within 14 days prior to sailing to get credit for that cruise
Use the loyalty program you have the highest level in for status matching
When traveling abroad, carry a mix of currency denominations for small purchases
Be prepared for occasional glitches on cruises and enjoy the experience
