Creator's Key Takeaways

MSC is undercutting Royal Caribbean and Norwegian and other mainstream cruise lines by 30 to 50% across nearly every cabin category.

The yach club is hands down the best of them all.

Butcher's Cut might just be the best steakhouse at sea.

Entertainment made a huge leap forward on the World America compared to their older ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book drink packages and Wi-Fi when you originally book your cruise for the cheapest rates.
โœ“Book entertainment as soon as you board the ship because shows sell out quickly.
โœ“Check the daily planner to not miss activities and events.
โœ“Visit the cliffhanger swings as soon as they open or on a port day to avoid waits.
โœ“Don't miss white night for a highlight of the cruise energy.

Because when a cruise line with a mixed reputation launches one of the largest ships in the world, the real question isnโ€™t how impressive it looks. The real question is whether the experience actually delivers once you live onboard for a full week. So thatโ€™s exactly what I set out to find out. ----- โš“ Our Trusted Travel Partners: ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Ready to Book Your Next Cruise? Cruises It makes planning easy!
