In general I will give a 7 out of 10 for this cruise.
In the past I did Carnival, NCL, Disney and Celebrity, all of them are much better than MSC.
I selected MSC only because I was at Brazil, but I don't think I will select it again in the near future
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was very easy, no more than 15 minutes wait.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Restaurants and buffets are ok but not excellent. There is only one extra steakhouse but very expensive so did not try it. This was a New Year celebration cruise so I was expecting an special dinner, however it was disappointed, do not expect any lobster and not even shrimps
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Loud music dancing is the only activities on board, forget about kids or teenagers programs like other cruise lines.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Dancers and signers are great!, however seeing them every day on every show turns boring. MSC should mix the entertainment with other actors
Children's Programs
1 out of 5
Teenager program is a joke, no activities at all, only hanging by the disco area
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
In general staff is rude, probably due to the language barrier being at Brazil
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
This was ok, except the Sauna area, I paid $100 per person and had to fight every day with the staff to get clean towels and hot water
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Perfect size for balcony cabin
Ship tip
If you select MSC, do not do Brazil trip. 3 ports are the same, just beach and boat trips.
This was part of the New Year Celebration, I was expecting the ship to be closer to the fireworks. Deck party at midnight was ok but I was expecting so much more.. kind of dissapointed
