I will never understand the negative reviews of MSC. My past 9 or 10 cruises have been with them, and I won't even consider another cruise line. I've been on Divina four times and you're correct - she's absolutely the most beautiful, elegant ship. MSC for Me!

@@timdalewag before I cruised with MSC, I read the reviews and I read some bad ones but I don’t see why! The ships are beautiful, great service, great food, a few negatives just like every cruise line but I would definitely cruise with MSC again! Thanks for watching, Tim!

Another informative video, Ben. That ship does look amazing. One observation: I know that the NCL app also lets someone tag select activities that will then appear on a "my list" so one can view only these chosen activities.

@@TravelWithBen121 Exactly! We enjoy other lines we have tried like Princess, Royal, NCL and Celebrity but sometimes for the price of MSC it can’t be beaten!

Nice cruise, Ben ! Our moms normally do not enjoy our best time even though they fed us and washed our diapers ! You are a wonderful son ! I can see you played soccer as a kid the way you handled the ball ! I went to the lake this morning. It was still dark I had two poles, coffee and nuts and watch the fogs rising slowly. I felt so relaxed , too !
