Review summary

Pros : very clean ship , nice mix of different nationalities, european flair, not a party ship, more relaxed atmosphere, drink prices very reasonable Cons: MSC is still working out some kinks, coupons for drinks and coffees a terrible process. Embarkation confusing and you are made to run all over to pick up your prepaid coupons (why not load them in your card or at least deliver to your room? ) room steward efficient but not friendly...no towel aninals ? Dining Room food is horrible, cold most of the time. Speciality steak house and italian restaurant have a horrible atmosphere- plastic chairs? to our surprise, the best speciality restaurant is up in the disco...food,view and staff awesome. another secret is the sports bar serves wings, burgers, salads (free)...and were really hot and good. Buffet food was the same each day and terrible selection. Shows were pretty good but again have a European flair...ports of call...cozumel has really cleaned up its act and was my favorite island...jamaica is a dump and cayman is by tender which is annoying. Casino is SMOKE FREE ! Bottom line..for the price, an ok relaxation place for 7 days but if you like more excitement and if you have kids, choose another cruise line....

and if you took the time to read my entire review, I also stated the drink prices were very reasonable. This site is meant for opinions from a personal vantage point. I appreciate that someone takes the time to post their opinions so that cruisers get the entire picture...I don't think you should attack anyone on a personal level...just read and take or dismiss the comments.

And oh, you didn't have to carry around coupons if you don't like it. They have plenty of of all inclusive drink packages. The coupons id a great deal since you can use them whenever you want and the price is unbeatable. Oh well... anyways... I just realized your name is "Drama Queen"... it makes a lot of sence!

I see you repeat again and again "European flair" You didn't read anything about the cruise line before booking, didn't you? They leave it very clear "cruising the caribbean, mediterranean style"

its ridiculous...the point of a sail and sign card is that is the only thing you need to carry...been on 50 cruises...first time for "coupons"...very backwards...they are betting on you losing or forgetting them...lol

I bought the coffee , ice cream pkg and the soda pkgs. totally worth it and no problems , instead of paying with your room card you hand them a coupon , what's the big deal?
