Creator's Key Takeaways

Bar none the worst cruise experience I've ever had. Both ship, food, service, everything.

MSC World America, where my experience there could not be more night and day difference than that Magnifica cruise a while ago.

The specialty restaurants on World America, they were pretty dagon good.

I would never recommend that someone take an old small MSC ship. Don't do it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider buying specialty dining packages to improve food experience.
Book specialty dining reservations in advance to secure availability.
If food is important, factor in the cost of specialty dining when budgeting.
