Creator's Key Takeaways
We were on the MSSE Virtuoso, it was then in those days their flagship. It was chaos from start to finish and we vowed never again.
MSC does up its game on formal night.
This is where MSE actually starts to give Royal Caribbean a run for their money.
We met several people whilst filming our cruise on World America who came up to us who wanted to tell us, 'Please tell everybody we are having the time of our life.'
