Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm finally boarding the OG MSC Seaside, first in her class. Never been on this.

MSE, you really need to fix this. Um, when I opened the app this morning, it said there's an update available.

I did pre-buy Pan Asian. It is a new restaurant that I have never been to.

I got my black card. Now, I am heading back to Chef's Court to make my diamond tasting reservation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use a travel agent for solo pricing.
βœ“Buy the drink package ahead of time for savings.
βœ“Hoard food when you find it, especially for workouts.
