Summary

Seth Kubersky from the Unofficial Guides, joins us on this week's live episode as we compare MSC Cruise Line to Disney Cruise Line. Seth is an avid themepark and cruising fan and we couldn't wait to get his take on MSC. We've heard mixed reactions to MSC and were excited to hear Seth's first-hand experience, having sailed MSC multiple times, including in MSC's Yacht Club. How did MSC compare to DCL (and other lines like Royal) across decor, activities, shows, food and service - come hear's Seth's review to find out whether MSC might be a cruise line you want to try. We're also chatting the latest DCL news on Lighthouse Point, the Haunted Mansion Parlor and Halloween on the High Seas. You can find and follow Seth on Twitter or at his website. Seth is also an arts and culture columnist for the Orlando Weekly, co-author for the Unofficial Guides to Universal Orlando, Disneyland, Las Vegas and Disney World, and a writer and podcast co-host for Attractions Magazine.
