Review summary

We took an Arabian sea cruise on MSC's new ship, Bellissima in December 2019 just before the COVID-19 pandemic and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped on board, I was impressed by the ship's modern and stylish design. The public spaces were spacious, glitzy and elegant, and provided a welcoming environment to relax and socialize. The ship offered a range of dining options, from casual cafes and bars to more upscale restaurants, and I was impressed by the quality of the food and the attention to detail in the presentation. The accommodations were comfortable and well-appointed. Zoe, the digital cruise assistant was a great gimmick but could do with a lot of improvement. It was nice to experience, though. The entertainment on MSC Bellissima was truly exceptional. The ship offered a variety of options to keep us all entertained both day and night, from shows and performances to games and activities. The F1 simulator was my all time favourite being a petrol head. The shore excursions on MSC Bellissima were a fantastic addition to my cruise experience and provided a great opportunity to explore and better understand the destinations we visited in a unique and memorable way.
