Review summary

It sucked. The cruise ship was too small for as many people as it allowed. The captain went to fast so you can enjoy days at sea as it was so windy. Had to shower with the curtain open. Staff was not very cheerful. I could go on and on but I’m not gonna waste anymore of my time.

Service charge for everything. Room service was bad. Dinners were ok, nothing special compared to other cruises. Buffet was the same this everyday.

Captain has no control over weather and they tend to increase speed to get through windy conditions too. Also a minimum speed it needed for ships stability systems too. They do not go out and just poke along slowly.

The Captain went too fast so it was windy? Don’t think a I’ve ever seen that one before. They have to travel at a specific speed to get to the next port in time. Traveling into the wind will make it seem much more windy than the actual wind speed. The winter also tends to have more storms.

We have never cruised on MSC but we usually research the ships before we book so we know what size the ship is and what they have on the ship. Sorry you were disappointed.
