Review summary

MSC exceeded our expectations. The Divina was the cleanest and most well-maintained ship we've sailed. The ship's layout has a nice flow. MSC's drink packages are the best value and truly bottomless. The food was good with ample variety and the pizza is excellent and lives up to its reputation. We received excellent service across the ship. Ocean Cay is one of the most underrated ports in the Caribbean that you need to experience. MSC is worth the "risk" of the unknown and we would highly recommend it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Old school paper technology that was executed quickly and efficiently. Embaration for our group of (8) with (3) rooms took no more than 20 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The drink package is an exceptional value. It's truly bottomless and valid on the MSC's private island (Ocean Cay). The MDR was good with ample variety and we could sample multiple appetizers as suggested by our serving team. The pizza is excellent and lives up to its reputation.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There is only one waterslide, but it is adequate. The hot tubes and pools were crowded as expected.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The music and shows have a bit more European flair but are still very entertaining.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We received excellent service across the ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This was the cleanest and most well-maintained ship we've sailed. The layout of the main pool area is a bit cramped, but the rest of the ship had a nice flow.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very nice cabin with the best balcony we've seen.
