Creator's Key Takeaways

MSC World America just launched, and it's clearly an attempt to get in on the mega ship craze that Icon of the Seas has reignited.

The pricing is really the most attractive thing about MSC to get people on board.

This is definitely the best MSC ship we've been on.

You're probably able to get a nice balcony cabin on America for definitely half of what they charge you on Icon.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget a little bit more for MSC to have a more all-inclusive experience.
Consider the Yacht Club for an elevated experience on MSC.
Compare pricing between MSC and Royal Caribbean to see the value.
