Creator's Key Takeaways

We don't guess. We plan it. Turn it maybe to a stamp stack. Cool deck. Couples laughing.

The dining room food has been very good in the dining room.

If you're sick before you get on board, I know you want to go on your trip. Go, but dang. Don't put hundreds of other people at risk.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wash your hands frequently to avoid norovirus on ships.
Do not lie on health forms if you have a fever.
If you have private travel insurance, consider taking cruise line cancellation offers.
Use your highest loyalty status (e.g., Hilton or Marriott) to status match with MSC.
