Creator's Key Takeaways

I think probably the major difference between them is the consistency of service yeah um with Carnival you can count on the consistency of service across the board on pretty much every ship and on MSC it's going to be a little different depending on which ship you're on

I think what I've found is that the MSC is is one notch below Carnival

on MSC ships you have just the choices for as far as complimentary food you have just to choose from the dining room and the buffet there are no other complementary dining areas on MSC ships

if you're looking for and needing something that's inexpensive and just kind of to take up a week then that's kind of where we we choose it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book MSC if you are looking for an inexpensive cruise
Book Carnival if you want consistent service and more complimentary dining options
For Alaskan cruises, try to get a balcony room to see the views
Let your waiter know on the first day if you are vegetarian to get a separate menu
Book transatlantic cruises for a good value
