- When evaluating cruise lines, many people place a strong emphasis on the quality of food. MSC Cruise lines has also gotten a reputation for having subpar food offerings (debatable).
In this MSC Cruise review we will talk about how there is more to cruising than food and if you can look past this and focus on the entire MSC Cruise Line offering, you will see there are MANY positives that should help you feel more comfortable booking an MSC Cruise.

![Our First MSC Cruise Was NOT What We Expected. Here's Why [MSC Seascape Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2hhiatVaXok/mqdefault.jpg)
Love the idea of their private island that is just sand and surf. Sounds like a perfect relaxing day.
Well done, MSC is such an easy target it is about time someone spoke up about their positives.
Videos that are positive don't get as many views but they are a heck of a lot more fun to make :-)
I very much enjoyed my MSC cruise on Magnifica. Also had a more international feel, meet people from all over the planet.
Same! I had no issue with any of the food I ate!
MSCs private island is the best!!!
Been to ocean cay twice and going again on the world America inaugural sailing. With respect to solo cruisers, I was able to snag a solo ocean view on world America inaugural for my wife's friend for $1560 with wifi and ez+ drink package.
You are correct. Today I returned from my first solo cruise on the same MSC ship (Magnifica). It was a nice ship and I enjoyed the entertainment. I especially liked the 18+ comedian from Brooklyn. He was hilarious.
I’m looking more and more into MSC cruises now, thanks to you Brandon…! lol
Thank you for your reviews, always honest in your opinion and to the point👍
Always my pleasure!
Can't wait till you organize and MSC group cruise out of Miami. Even if I had to Solo cabin, I probably could afford it.
Stay tuned Jeff!
I had my favorite cruise meal ever on MSC (Osso Bucco) and my favorite dessert too (pistachio dacquoise) And the best pizza too.
March 2024 was our 8th cruise on MSC...Divinia(3) , Seashore(3) , Seaside(1), Meraviglia(1)......love this cruiseline!
MSC is overall a great value. Not sure what the issue is people have with the food! Its totally fine. Its like any resort. Theres gonna be items that are great and some that aren't a 10.. I enjoyed most of the food I ate on board. And if you paid 300 for a cruise what's the big deal if they try to upsell you . Thats how they keep the fares low. Ive already booked my next sailing and planning next years on there new ship World America
Agree!! Loved my solo cruise on MSC Magnifica.
We stayed in Ocean Cay until 10 pm, all aboard wasn’t until 930! It was amazing!!
Finally went on our first MSC sailing last week, Meraviglia, and totally agree. We would definitely sail again on this line.
Very good to hear! Thank you for sharing! Love the design pics of Meravigilia and want to try her one day too!
Thank you for sharing❤
Agree. As a person who isn’t ‘food motivated’ I look for the most ports on a cruise itinerary.
One issue that I don’t think would be an issue, actually was a major concern- Reduced Security and Crowd Control.
In a theatre full of people, a drunk woman punched me and another passenger because we asked her to stop kicking our chairs and hitting us with her flailing arms.
It took passengers to shoo her out of the room, Security never appeared.
Oh wow! That sounds like a viral tiktok moment! Unfortunately, I am not sure any cruise line would have handled this different. They all have security but the theater is normally a low key location and rarely see them. During a show, you traditionally have no crew members except for the stage/light technicians unless an officer happens to be watching the show with you.
@@TheWeekendCruiser it was an amphetamine moment for this woman. Cruises do not ensure your safety while onboard-they are focused only on their business assets.
Thanks for all of your videos. We've been contemplating adding MSC to our list. I'm not quite convinced yet, but I'm getting closer!
I appreciate your insights. We sailed on MSC Magnifica in February and really enjoyed it. We have no interest in some of the activities on larger ships and don't want to pay for passage on a ship that has activities we would never use
Same!!! I am 100% not a big ship guy. Glad you enjoyed MSC!
I'd love to take an MSC cruise. I wish they sailed from Southern California. It would be so much easier to give a try with less travel to a farther port.
They are heading to Alaska first but I believe they will make it there!
Heard great things about Ocean Key . Love good food but it's not the only thing to consider.
Brandon, please do a video on how to book an MSC cruise as a newbie solo. I don't know where to begin my cruising journey but I'd love to go to Ocean Cay overnight. Thank you.
Hey Rhondalyn! This is where I try to stay in my lane! I use a travel agent who I love and do not book my own cruises. A good travel agent will be your best bet to ensure you get it all right!
Brandon when are you making your reservation on the world America inaugural sailing?
Just did two days ago!!! Well, for the 3rd sailing at least :-)
I'm not sure if it is just me, but the audio on this video was significantly lower than normal. I had to watch a couple of other videos to make sure.
I heard this from some others too Andrew! Think it is because I was sitting in public and using a softer talking voice as the setting were the same. Will keep in mind when i head back to MSC.
As for country music I take it you have never been to the Mason Jar on the Wonder of the Seas…. They had a group playing country music every day!!!
Hey Elizabeth! You know, I totally forgot about Mason Jar! I am not a big ship guy but have been on Wonder once. Though, believe it was more folk music when I was there but country at heart!
Snorkelled two days in a row on an overnight to ocean cay with a turtle at the lighthouse. What more could you want?
That sounds amazing!!!!! I keep forgetting to pack my snorkle gear for Ocean Cay. Assume you were snorkeling in front of the boat?
I know you stick to the Caribbean but have you taken Costa? I don't know if they have cruises over there -- I think they do. So many hate it, but probably as many as who hate Costa. Curious minds :-)
Not yet! Know we chatted about this some and looking into it!
@@TheWeekendCruiser i didn't remember 😁 I am off in 2 weeks to give them a second chance. Will probably be my last with them. Queen Victoria is booked for end July! Have you done Cunard yet?
Are they always trying to upsell you? Are the upsells worth it? Is this the only way to get decent food?
There newer ships have a lot more options when it comes to food. On Magnifica, it is only their oriental restaurant but Sea class has a TON more. I have never felt an upsale - on day one, you will see more of this but after that it really fades out. I would not do the dinning package on one of their smaller ships, only the newer and bigger ones.
Yeah, still not convinced.
I have been on two msc cruises. Meraviglia and magnifica, I would try seashore or seascape for my first msc cruise. I'm booked on world America inaugural sailing. The bar at the buffet let's you grab a few drinks and not be stingy like Royal Caribbean
