Going on the MSC ship at the end of February,this will be my first time on this ship. Last cruise we went to Royal Caribbean and we had an excellent time. I've heard good and bad things about MSC. So we'll see. Going with other couples. Hope it's fun.

Try another line before you write off cruising all together. MSC is either love or hate, no in between.

Different cruise lines cater to different people. MSC just might not be the right fit for you and another cruiseline might be more to your liking. That being said, cruising isn't for everyone and maybe it's not your thing.

You may want to consider traveling outside of the USA/Caribbean. There's so many countries to visit in the world. Good luck.

This was a fun cruise & was perfect for just myself & husband. The ship was pretty small but it was still a very fun experience! Only complaint is that all they had to eat after 9pm was pizza.

Another awesome cruise!
