Creator's Key Takeaways

We definitely cruise with MSE again and definitely on Preiosa again. It was a really nice ship.

The cabin was so spacious, probably the biggest one we've ever had, I think, and um laid out nicely.

I have to say the buffet pizza on MSE is some of the best that we've had at sea.

It just felt very stop start and made the evening feel a little bit weird.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take advantage of the MSC upgrade program a few weeks before your cruise for potential better cabin categories.

✓If you want an earlier dining time, visit the Maitre D' on embarkation day to request a change.

✓When attending Captain's welcome events, sit on the ends of the aisles to make it easier for waiters to serve you drinks.

✓Look out for the premium extra drinks package when booking to get a better deal.
