Creator's Key Takeaways

I booked the cruise for $140 for four nights on MSCC side.

This is a solo cruise. It's just going to be us.

I always get a regular room and they always give me a balcony. I love that for us.

The only thing I wish is the food was better. But you know what? You can't have it all, girl.
