Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got back from seven days aboard the MSSE Grandiosa and boy was that an adventure.

The food was not great. I would give it probably a four out of 10 overall.

The Wi-Fi was terrible.

Overall this cruise was very strange.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Delay arrival if there are port issues to avoid long waits.
Avoid eating in the buffet on Ocean Key; go back on the ship for lunch.
Be kind to staff members who are working hard under difficult conditions.
