Review summary

I doubt I will cruses again but I will for sure never cruise with MSC ever again. They seem better for the older more retired crowd.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
MSC was overboard on Covid precautions . Don't make me pay for a Covid test 2 days prior just to give me one to embark also.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
We only went to the Black Crab once . Service was good, the food was lacking for an upscale environment, Butchers Cut was delicious. Galaxy Sushi was good but way over priced. Buffett was a buffet , bland, could have been better. The best food on the ship was the Pizza from the pizzeria and wings from the sports bar which cost extra. The best food came off the ship. Most of the alcohol drinks were mad too strong upfront, the bartenders weren't real bartenders.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
nothing that interested us at all

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff was attentive, but the hassle the crap out of you to buy extras. Pretty annoying.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
very clean and pretty

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
very clean and comfortable except the bed was very uncomfortable. Also being right under the Aqua deck is horrible. all the stomping and sliding stuff across the deck made it crap to try and relax.

Ship tip

If you want adventure Don't sail MSC

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
We found out the day of embarkation that they removed this port and added Belize, and rearranged some of the other port days so I had to scramble to change my excursions. then they didn't give us enough time to do an excursion and canceled the one we signed up for.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Dive with Dive Doctors , Great group!

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Dive Dolphin Discovery, but do not sign up through MSC they way over charge.

Port changes seem to be the “new normal” these days. We all look forward to Covid going away!!

Thanks for the review. People either love or hate MSC. I had a great experience in January on Meraviglia.
