Creator's Key Takeaways

MSC World America is absolutely gorgeous

the ocean view balconies were very small. They're only about 3,200 square ft

one of our favorite spots was the pizza and burger on deck 6. It is open late and we found that this was better than pizza on most cruise lines

the cliffhanger ride is $5 per person, and if you've seen any videos of it, it's a terrifying attraction

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look for promotional packages that include drink packages and Wi-Fi
Consider the MSC Voyagers Club status match program
Book specialty dining on C days for 20% off discounts
Purchase a fun pass for activities rather than paying individually
