Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of a 72-hour budget cruise aboard the MSC Divina, which cost approximately $250. The review covers various aspects of the experience, including the boarding process at Port Miami, cabin accommodations, dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The creator notes that the ship, which launched in 2012, offers a premium, old-school feel in its atrium and deluxe veranda cabins, though the ship design has some navigational flaws. While the food received mixed reviews, with high praise for the pizza and gelato but criticism regarding slow service in the main dining room, the entertainment was described as plentiful but not necessarily high-end. A significant portion of the review addresses cultural differences and policy concerns, specifically regarding the presence of children in adult-only areas and nightclubs. Despite these observations, the creator concludes that the cruise was a good value for the price and describes the overall experience as worthwhile.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just spent 72 hours on board the cheapest cruise I could find here in the United States.

The pizza was absolutely amazing. MSC, I would argue, and I'll fight somebody over it, does have the best pizza at sea.

MSE absolutely needs to make changes if they're going to be operating in the United States market.

Overall, would I say this cruise is worth the money? Yeah, 250 bucks. Absolutely.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check in for your cruise 48 hours prior to departure.
βœ“Purchase the drink package if you plan to indulge, but be aware of the onboard system delays.
βœ“Be mindful of the adults-only area not being strictly enforced due to cultural differences.
