Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their second experience with MSC Cruises to determine if the line is a permanent choice for their future travels. They begin with a tour of a seaside suite, noting specific amenities like prosecco, chocolate, and priority embarkation, while critiquing the room's burgundy color scheme and limited privacy on the balcony. The trip includes visits to Ocean Cay, MSC's private island, and an excursion in Belize that features temple tours and cultural history. Throughout the voyage, the creators evaluate various dining options, ranging from the buffet and Pan Asian restaurant to the Butcher's Cut steakhouse, and sample specialty cocktails. They also participate in ship activities such as a silent disco, Latin dance lessons, and a captain's cocktail party. A significant motivation for this specific sailing is to support a friend serving as the cruise director. Ultimately, the creators conclude that their previous negative impressions of the cruise line were incorrect, noting a total turnaround in their perception of the guest experience and overall service.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pro tip, if you ever want to cruise and you can't figure out where the heck your assembly station is, and kind of lucky for MSC, they make you go to your room and do your muster on the TV.
When you come here, keep that in mind so you won't miss the food.
If you come on MSC and you see the port, you come down the port, you come out here through the thing over here in order to be able, say Vince, you got an excursion at Mr. St. Joe's Paradise Beach.
