Review summary

Tried MSC because we got a good deal. Customer service is lacking might be understaffed. Pretty ship that boast great ports. Very surprised that on this cruise the Europeans and not the Americans were the rude ones. :D

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Employees we witnessed had severe attitudes and acted like they didn't want to be there and it showed in their customer service.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food options were very limited. The buffet although extremely large had the same boring food for each meal.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness center was adequate the pools were too packed. You had your typical dance classes and pool games that are fun to watch.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The stage shows we saw were pretty good, there were two excellent musicians/singer and several below average ones.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Room steward was excellent and a few other wait staff and one bartender. The rest we severely lacking. it wasn't until the last few days of the cruise where staff would routinely greet you.

The attitudes of the employees on MSC seems to be a common complaint
