Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that both have really great bars I think that Carnival has some really cool interesting bars I love their Alchemy

I'm giving MSC a five a big five and I'm giving Carnival a four and I'll tell you the reason why

MSC is right up there I've had good pizza outside of the cruise world I would say 95% of it wasn't as good as the pizza that was on MSC cruise ship
