Review summary

Fantastic holiday, staff help make it, but we did feel uncomfortable in buffet sometimes. There are many supervisors walking checking that staff are clearing tables quickly, however there are times when it’s extremely busy, especially when Everyone heads for food when arriving Back on ship, but the supervisors constantly point at dirty tables reminding staff to clear them when they already rushed off their feet, it would be good to see the supervisors ( wearing white jackets) muck in & help clear tables, as though they are part of the same team instead of being above them. It does make you feel a bit awkward when you can see they are trying their best. But having said that crew in every other department were really good, apart from Italian pizza bar, for some reason our group ( party of 6 adaults) our face didn’t fit & others were constantly being served every night before us even though we were there first, we met for drink there whilst waiting for our restaurant to relay tables for our 8.30 sitting. I’m an early riser and watched the sun rise quite a few times and around 7am there were always staff cleaning the top deck, even polishing the brass on the front of the deck steps, very thorough at cleaning first thing in morning, but maybe could do with a few extra waiters clearing decks when at sea days, a few days it was a very busy & a bit windy, so there were cans rolling around on deck cause not cleaned up, passengers didn’t return glasses or plates etc to bars, so decks became quite dirty by early afternoon with glasses not being cleared away. After those few negative comment, we really did have a lovely holiday, top deck bar crew defiantly help make it a brilliant time for us, would use MSC again in a group.

Slow in Miami, bearing in mind volume of passengers, but poor organisation because people continually pushing in as no form of order & nothing done about it, so bit diss organised, but was ok
