Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on three mlc cruises and I recently took my first cruise with Costa cruisers

the food in the main dining room on board MSE Cruisers and Costa are definitely Mediterranean based Italian foods

on Costa dinner took maybe 2 to three hours every night and there were so many causes I don't even know what these causes are

there is a lot more English spoken on MSE cruise ships than on Costa Cruise ships

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget for water if you want water at dinner on a Costa Cruise
If access to pizza or ice cream is important, cruise with MSC rather than Costa

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Dinner taking too long on CostaBear in mind that dinner is a longer event on Costa, which some may love but others may find overwhelming
Language barriers on CostaThere is less English spoken on Costa ships, but an English-speaking representative was provided due to low English speakers

Have you cruised with either MSC Cruises or Costa Cruises and are wondering how they compare? Prior to my first Costa Cruise, I thought that they would be similar to MSC Cruises (they're both Italian lines), how different can they be. Right?! Wrong. Visit MSC's UK website here: https://bit.ly/2jHfdKp Visit MSC's USA website here: https://bit.ly/2jJfgFD (affiliate links) Let me know in the comments if you've cruised with either line (or if you haven't what you think they'd be like).
