Entertainment

3 out of 5
Nice but obvious language barrier.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Poor. Had to constantly ask for water, coffe , bread& butter.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ok but seating in lounges were uncomfortable & not ergonomically designed. Non smoking areas had ONLY low plastic lounge chairs too difficult to arise from for older & persons with disabilities. All the tables & regular chairs were only in the smoking area so one had to endure their smoke to sit in a chair.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Fine

Ship tip

If you’re American, don’t book this cruise line due to large percentage of non English speaking passengers, creating lengthy announcements in 5 languages.

I was on the MSC armonia a week ago, loved the boat, the food was satisfactory. The wait staff, bartenders and servers were always friendly to ( my wife and I). If you find everything piss poor maybe it's not the boat or the cruise lines fault, maybe it's the one doing the pissing.

It seems many don’t understand the different levels offered on MSC. Many seem to book the cheapest option, then are disappointed when they don’t get the top level amenities. Those that know what to expect seem to be satisfied with their cruise.

You have to be open minded to other culture to appreciate MSC! I guess it's not for Everyone...
