  • Should You pay extra for MSC Speciality Dining? Not all are good, and some are very expensive.
    We tried out various MSC Speciality Restaurants and give you our honest opinion.
    We also highlight their 'Experience Package', where you can by a multi-ticket, at a reduced price. Is it worth the money, or should you just pay separately?
    This is the MSC Premium Dining Guide
    Butcher's Cut Restaurant
    Hola Taco & Cantina Mexican Restaurant
    Indochine Fusion restaurant
    Kaito Teppanyaki & Sushi restaurant

    Great review. I only do Butchers cut and indo,don't like Mexican or Japanese, so my stomach knows best.We also get one free for being Diamond,which we received as status match from our Royal caribbean Diamond Plus.I had the beef noodle dish and couldn't finish it,huge portion.only 28 days to go for our 3rd Vituosa cruise in 10 months.Also Royal have gone down the pan,food wise.Phil.

    With Diamond Club status you get one speciality restaurant complimentary per cruise. I'm choosing the Butcher Cut because I don't care for Asian food as it doesn't fill me up and where I live I eat Mexican food daily😁 If I didn't get the complimentary specialty restaurant included, I wouldn't pick any of them as the on-board food is good enough for me in the buffet, so I don't have to sit and wait for every course to come out when I'm hungry.
    Thank you for your honest cruise reviews!

    • @ritzytravelguide
      @ritzytravelguide  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi, I very much agree that the included Main Dining Room food is good. For the vast majority of people I think 1, or 2 speciality dining, at most, makes sense.

    • @GlobalAdventurer
      @GlobalAdventurer 8 місяців тому

      ​@@ritzytravelguideProbably so. I'm just not into eating out at restaurants, and that's why I mainly eat at the buffets on cruise ships.
      I do the same thing at high end hotels with executive lounges. They usually have a buffet too!😋

    I remember a Billy Connolly joke that Mexican food is all the same, the only difference is how it’s folded

    OMG that Thai experience seems over-priced. But I live in San Francisco and i can get better for less. Same with Japanese food. I love ramen and can get the best for $18 with the most depth of flavor broth at Iza Ramen, or udon at a chain for $10 with protein.

      @@ritzytravelguide That's interesting as the MSC web site says they are excluded, "but does not cover the specialty restaurants and signature venues". Seems a bit harsh if you intend to spend some time in them and current price is £704 per person for my drinks package.

    I have to admit , the Mexican restaurant was a mess. They will have to up the game on that one for the American market. Black beans as a hot appetizer. Yeah no. Burrito embarrassing .
    Steak house and Indochina looked great.
    Thank you for the video. MSC here in US market doesn’t get great reviews. Hoping to take them for a long weekend trip to judge for myself.
    Thank you again.
