Creator's Key Takeaways

The leadup is frustrating and annoying and it is way way more complicated than it needs to be

I think it's way too Okay, there's too much of a traditional mindset involved and it's creating problems that are very easy to solve

Good on MSC for that. Again, maybe they have a different newer water treatment technique on board

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose an itinerary with a lot of port stops if you prefer the shipboard experience
Check the paper schedule daily as app times may not be accurate
Use the ropes course and water slides when the ship is less crowded
