Review summary

Hey everyone. We had a great cruise despite me being ill. Spent most of the first two days in the room with a high temperature. This being our third Divina cruise I will compare it to the others. Being sick doesn't affect my opinion as everyone in the group felt the same. Ship was beautiful and clean. Shows were great. Darren needs a few new jokes. Haha. Had to fight to get reservation changed for the third time. Documents said late dining but was assured by our Msc rep, I booked directly, that we had early dining. Checked in and told differently. This happened each cruise. Had to spend 90 minutes in a lineup to get it changed. Staff were great with the exception of our dining room. They are under staffed. We didn't have room on our table to eat. They didn't remove empty plates from first course or the wine glass and couldn't get a drink of water. Had to keep telling him. Water please with no luck. The buffet at night was awful. Very limited choice I though. However was great during the day and breakfast despite the crowds. The pool bars were busy and people were frustrated. I didn't find that too bad myself but others were vocal about it to the staff. Need a few more servers I think. Chairs are reserved very early. Room was cleaned well each day. Great to see that the sports pub food is now free. It wasn't in the past. Disappointed with the main pool during the sail away as the area where kids play didn't have water. This caused the inside and outside pool to be crowded. Staff said it will be filled tonight. Don't make sense. Last two times it was filled when we got there and kids had a ball. Rear pool was closed as well on sail away day. Wasn't last time. I think it opened later in the evening. Muster stations need to have air conditioning on bust prior to the life jacket drill. We were sweating and it was stuffy. Older people seemed very uncomfortable. Still think the speakers are way too high in volume during the games etc. Maybe I'm old.. The medical staff were great and I was given meds for about a 100 fee. All in all I give it a 3 out of five. The previous times I gave it a 5 and a 4. I can see how first timers will go either way. I will still recommend the ship as the value is great and the good far out weigh the bad. Looking forward to the seaside next April 14. Already booked.
