Creator's Key Takeaways

She is a beautiful ship in classic MSC style with marble, black, you've got some burgundy, you've got the Swarovski staircases behind me, which I love, and mirrors everywhere.

I think this will give you the details you need to be able to navigate the ship.

They've done a great job setting this up before this large of a ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Start in the back of the marketplace buffet to avoid crowds and get better food.
Reserve theater seats early via the app, as shows fill up quickly.
Walk on the sides of the ship on some decks, as there is a learning curve to navigation.
