Creator's Key Takeaways

The food in the buffet is is probably the worst food I've ever tried in my entire life. And I'm not lying.

The staff that met us, especially maybe in the specialtity restaurants, but also in some of the bars, were the nicest kind of staff I've ever met.

I cannot recommend MSE enough. So the verdict is obviously quite good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Prepay for specialty dining, drinks, and spa to significantly increase the value of your cruise.
βœ“If you have a drinks package, you can replace mini-bar beers with ones from the bar to save money.
