Review summary

This was my 4th MSC cruise in the last 12 months and 3rd on Divina since October. All were very good, but this time was excellent, primarily because of people I met and the group at my table. We did many things together and had a great time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest embarkation ever. Arrived at 10:40 for an 11:00 scheduled boarding and was at the buffet at 10:55.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I found the selection and quality of food at the dining room and buffet to be good to excellent. The only thing I ordered that I did not like was the coconut tapioca pudding. Butcher’s Cut was excellent.

Black Crab Restaurant

5 out of 5

I ate here for breakfast and lunch a few times and the food was very good. I was assigned to the Villa Rosa Dining Room for dinner and thought the selection and quality was very good to excellent. The service was a little slow, but I had great table mates, so we had lots of great conversations between courses.

Butcher's Cut

5 out of 5

Everything was excellent.

Calumet Buffet

4 out of 5

Lots of variety and good quality for a buffet. The pizza is excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I did not participate in a lot of the scheduled activities other than a few music trivia games, but did see plenty of options available.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
There was always something going on each evening, with multiple music options around the ship, the main theater show, deck parties, the late night disco, etc.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Other than the dining staff being a little slow, I had no issues with the service. My cabin steward was excellent. Those that had the drink package said bar service was hit or miss and could take a while.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love the design of the ship and found it to be very clean. I saw employees cleaning hand rails, elevators, etc. every time I left my cabin.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious, clean and had a larger balcony than many of the cabins.

Ports of call

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
I did the Sharks & Rays Snorkeling with a beach break at Caye Caulker. It was excellent.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
One of my favorite ports. I went to Maya Chan Beach Club, which is always excellent.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Much faster than my Divina cruise in October. We used Terminal E this time, which had the Facial Recognition at Customs, so it was very fast.
