Review summary

After exposure to all these negative reviews, we found them unwarranted...NO cruise is perfect....After 10 cruises on CCL, I think MSC doing alot of things right but with room for improvement...Divina, though older, in good shape....Food better, drink package better, and seemed like fewer kids aboard...all pluses for us....Fellow European travellers the majority still though Miami based....

We are platinum on CCL and went on MSC for the first time in January. Also the Divinia. We thought it was beautiful and couldn't understand the negative reviews. Some of the best entertainment we've seen. Treated wonderful throughout the ship. Will definitely cruise them again.
