Creator's Key Takeaways

I will give you this disclaimer though. Uh my recent sailing on MSSE cruises was out of Galveston, Texas.

I hope this soothes some of your fears uh or gives you a little more confidence that maybe maybe MSE is worth trying.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you are concerned about gender-neutral bathrooms, you can seek out gender-specific ones, and there are plenty available.

✓If you are sailing out of the US, the experience may be more tailored for Americans.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Language barriers or announcements in multiple languages — Announcements were only made in English when sailing out of Galveston, and crew members spoke English.

Different food options, especially for picky kids — Many familiar foods like pizza, burgers, and hot dogs are available, and differences are minor.
