Contemporary cruise line MSC has, for years, been offering their guests incredible service, accommodations, entertainment, and dining. Each ship in the fleet offers a wide array of restaurants, and with dining being an important aspect of cruising for many, no one does it better than MSC. One of the most popular options is Butcher's Cut, the all-American steakhouse restaurant in the fleet. Butcher's Cut serves up high-quality cuts of meat in an elegant setting. The menu features USDA-certified steaks, cooked to your exact preference, with a variety of classic sides to choose from.
