Creator's Key Takeaways

This 7-day cruise only costs $448 for the entire week. That's $64 a day for all of my food, for all of my entertainment, for going to tropical islands, for having this beautiful room, and guys, a balcony.

This destroys Sarrentos. This is easily twice as good.

I give the whole dinner a straight seven. Very, very, very, very passable.

I just still can't believe that there is a balcony cabin on a cruise ship for as cheap as this. It shouldn't be allowed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a balcony cabin for an affordable price.
βœ“Try the pizza on MSC, as it is highly rated.
βœ“Explore the private island beaches, as they are close and beautiful.

YouTube Video Description↓

I just took my first cruise on MSC! $64 per day. Unlimited food. Balcony cabin. There's no way I couldn't give it a try. If you're watching my videos for the very first time, hey! I've been a crew member for Royal Caribbean for the last 9 years and just recently left my life below deck to see what life is like as a guest on cruise ships. My girlfriend is still working onboard Star of the Seas, so I spend a good amount of time sailing with her, along with trying out other cruise lines. There's a whole lot of short videos on my page about working below deck, and a whole lot of new long form videos coming out this year about the guest side of things. Hope you enjoy! Let me know in the comments if there's certain ships or itineraries you think would be interesting enough for me to make a video about! See ya in the next video!
