Creator's Key Takeaways

the MSC for me app does have a free messaging service which is extremely helpful for communicating with others however one flaw is that messages can sometimes appear in a different order to which they were sent which can become a bit confusing

based on the literature that we had received from MSC it was a little confusing whether or not being taken to the city center would be included or if it would incur an extra charge

we personally recommend making reservations as soon as you board your cruise to avoid any disappointment or to secure your first choice of dining times

a top tip is to try and use these slides while the ship is docked in Port as on SE days the waiting time can be extremely Long

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make reservations for specialty restaurants as soon as you board to avoid disappointment
Use the water slides while the ship is docked in port to avoid long wait times on sea days
Set a specific time and place to meet your group to avoid confusion
