Having recently sailed on MSC, I can tell you that there are some major differences between this line and its competitors like Carnival or Royal Caribbean. Now I don’t want to give the impression that MSC is completely different from sailing any other line. If you’ve sailed a cruise before, there’s a lot that you’ll know and love. However, it’s the details surrounding life onboard that might stand out if you’re used to some of the other lines in U.S. cruising. Here's what I wish I knew before I sailed.
