Creator's Key Takeaways

my first ever cruise was on the msc maryvillia i have since been on an additional nine cruises across three different cruise lines

i think the first reason that some americans have a hard time with msc is because of their protocols and procedures

the mdr experience the dining room experience is the best on msc compared to royal and carnival

i'm a fan i'm a stan if you've watched my channel at all you know that's not a secret by any means

Say no to upsell offers politely and it won't offend staff

Consider the all-in drinks and wi-fi ticket for value

YouTube Video Description

My first ever cruise was onboard the #MSC #Meraviglia in September of 2021. I had a blast! Ever since then, I've noticed that a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouth about this quirky #Italian cruise line. Now that I've experienced both #Carnival and #RoyalCaribbean, I sort of get why, but also, with four MSC cruises under my belt, I don't think the hate is fully warranted. In this video, we try to unpack some of the things that make people dislike MSC. If at any point you like what you see: like, comment, subscribe, hit the bell, and share this video to help us grow.
