Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We've sailed it 16 times. 16 times.
MSC is the most underrated couple's line on this entire list, and the reason is the Yacht Club.
Virgin is adults only, always. No kids, not on certain sailings, not on certain decks, just never.
The food on Celebrity needs its own video. I've been a chef for over 15 years, and I'm not that easy to impress.
