Creator's Key Takeaways

I have cruised more times on this ship than any other in the MSC Fleet

my personal recommendation is to come in here and try the hot chocolate it really is absolutely fantastic

I think that for a cruise ship this big this venue is absolutely beautiful because it's a really really nice size and it never ever feels busy at any point

I have never had a bad experience at butcher's cut on any MSC ship I find the quality to be so so much better than what they offer in the main dining room

Creator's Tips & Advice
