MSC Mediterranean Cruise Tips for Americans | MSC Cruise Tips | MSC Mediterranean Cruise Review

If you are an American thinking about booking an MSC Mediterranean cruise, you need to watch this before you book. MSC Mediterranean cruises are very different from MSC cruises in the United States, and I learned that firsthand while sailing aboard MSC World Europa.

This MSC Mediterranean cruise review covers the biggest differences Americans do not expect when cruising MSC in Europe. From water not being automatically served at dinner, to Americans being such a small minority that MSC Cruises hosted a special event just for us, to onboard credit working differently than on U.S.-based cruises, this MSC cruise experience surprised me in ways I did not anticipate.

During this Mediterranean cruise itinerary, we visited popular cruise ports including Messina, Sicily; Valletta, Malta; Naples, Italy; Marseille, France; Barcelona, Spain; and Genoa, Italy. Experiencing these European cruise ports with MSC Cruises highlighted just how different cruising in Europe feels compared to cruising from the United States.

In this video, I break down everything Americans need to know before booking an MSC Mediterranean cruise, including MSC cruise tips for Americans, what to skip on an MSC cruise in Europe, what is worth paying for, and the MSC cruise mistakes I made so you do not make them yourself.

If you are planning an MSC cruise in the Mediterranean, considering MSC World Europa, or comparing MSC Cruises Europe vs USA, this video will help you set the right expectations before you book.
