Creator's Key Takeaways

We pulled into Costa Maya and made the call to stay on the ship — and honestly? Zero regrets.

We got a fancy bottle of Prosecco. Hmm. Nice. I'm I'm going to guess because we're diamond on MSC, but I don't know.

We have been graciously given this restaurant because I am a diamond member.

I would say I recommend it, but if you can get it cheaper before the cruise, Do it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay on the ship if the weather is bad in port.
Check for specialty dining deals before the cruise to save money.
Don't vape in lobbies and public areas on the ship.
