Creator's Key Takeaways

We were very thrilled that the lines were moving very quickly until you get the security line.

This buffet is madness. Get some grub and then see what we can get into on this afternoon before sail away later tonight.

Just little quirks of MSC you got to know and learn.

The show was pretty solid. Very entertaining for me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use off-site parking with shuttle bus for easy drop-off.
Link reservations together so earliest boarding time applies to all.
Arrive early for shows to get a good seat.
Take the empty elevator when lines are chaotic.
