When it comes to value, anyone searching for cruises is likely to run across two lines that offer some of the least expensive trips: Carnival and MSC. And while Carnival is arguably the most well-known cruise line anywhere, MSC isn’t exactly a household name here in the United States.

Having sailed both multiple times, I have insight into what you can expect onboard the cruise lines, including some of the major differences that you should know before you choose one over the other. From the fleets to what to expect onboard, from drink packages to private islands, I cover it all!
