It is the beat cruise either of us has ever been on. The MSC staff were fantastic, i cant praise them enough. The ship was great all around, cabin, public area's, food, drinks etc. The ports we visited, Ochos Rios and Cozumel were great, Havana in our view was the best port we've ever visited and worth the money on it's own.
The people we met on the cruise were very nice, we had a great time, speaking with people from all over the world. Remember it's a smaller ship but a great place to unwind and enjoy yourselves.
Our first MSC cruise and we really are converts.

Ship tip
It's a smaller ship keep that in mind, I think it's all the better for that
We took the cooking Jerk Chicken Tour at a plantation. It was great the plantation was beautiful, the staff were great as was our driver and tour guide Shernice.
I cant stress enough the beauty of this city and it's people, I have never seen so many people with so little, so happy, they are truly wonderful. We did a Hemingway tour it was a great experience, we did a classic car tour as well in a pink 50's Bel Air which was fantastic on both these tours our guides were outstanding. The older architecture is astounding, the Soviet era not so much but although very interesting non the less. This city is in my top 5 places in the world to visit, we will be back and soon if we can. I urge people to go and see for yourselves Havana and it's people will not disappoint.
