Creator's Key Takeaways
MSC's check-in has got to be the worst check-in I've done on any cruise line.
The $50 transfer from the airport through Princess to the, you know, over to the port was probably the best 50 bucks we've spent.
For the price we paid for this excursion, it was super disappointing to be honest.
