Review summary

I could not honestly say I would recommend this cruise because of some serious concerns for us. But first let me say they nightly shows were top notch, excellent performances. Very high energy. LOVED em! A beautiful ship and excellent availability of the pools. Loved the adult pool, more so then the infinity pool, which was very good as well. Our concerns were:

1. Food was adequate, often over cooked.

2. Average time at dinner was 2 to 2 1/2 hours, much too long.

3. Ship recommended an excursion at St Martin that turned out to be an expensive taxi ride type tour with little facts of interest or humor provided. When I made a formal complaint the we were told they're not responsible for the outcome of excursions, only if they get cancel. A refund was not offered. The excursion (Bus tour and shopping) was a waste of time and money). For the most part we might in some future consider trying MSC again, but for now will try elsewhere.
