Review summary

We had a good cruise even with the things that went wrong. MSC just isn’t in the same league as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity, Holland American and NCL. MSC has a lot to learn from these other cruise lines that know how to help you have a wonderful experience by treating you special.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
We stood in line for hours and didn’t get on the ship until after 10pm. They should have brought us bottles of water and food. They didn’t tell us what the hold up was, even after asking several people.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was hit and miss with some things being really delicious, but most food was bland.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There wasn’t anything going on between 8-10 pm.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great but too short. They were only 35 minutes long.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our service was good, but not everyone is friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is beautiful. They could use more bathroom stalls in public places. One bathroom stall for the entire buffet area is ridiculous!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The balcony stateroom was nice but the bed was too hard. The bathroom was nice. I recommend bringing more hangers.

Ship tip

Lower your expectations. MSC doesn’t treat you as well as other cruise lines.
