Creator's Key Takeaways

We are elite on Princess Cruises (their highest level) and MSC made us Diamond (their 2nd highest level.

So, I guess we could recommend this place, especially if it's complimentary.

So, don't let me dissuade you from going on an MSC cruise, at least on the seashore.

It's a mixed bag.

YouTube Video Description↓

We board the MSC Seashore for our first MSC cruise and take a quick look around. Then we show what we liked, and didn't like, about MSC. For a complete tour of the ship: https://youtu.be/s60DxsQGRLI #MSC #MSCSeashore #msccruises #portmonkeys This was recorded in April 2025. One of the best things about this cruise, and MSC in general, is that they 'Status Match'. We are elite on Princess Cruises (their highest level) and MSC made us Diamond (their 2nd highest level. This is the website for a status match: https://www.msccruisesusa.com/msc-voyagers-club/status-match If the video left you wondering wether we would sail on MSC again, we would. If the price was right.
