Our first and last cruise with MSC.
After 34 cruises with NCL, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland.
We love cruising and due to service, quality of food and hospitality management this was the worst cruise ever.
We cruised with other 3 couples and they all got sick and sorry, was their first cruise.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
1 out of 5
Unhealthy crowded Buffett, serious cleaning issues: no one spraying our hands, , dirty pieces of food around serving trays, one chef making omelets at once for customers, sharing pieces, dirty tables and floors very few staff.
No service by the pool, no waiters. Had to go on a long line order drinks from all bars on the cruise, give our name and be yelled at when drink was ready. Awful!!! Main dining room breakfast no eggs benedict, only one type of omelet(ham and chees),almost raw bacon, watery yogurt. Fruits on this cruise:wartermelon,melon,orange and banana. No kiwi. mangos,pineapple,berries etc. Main Dining staff was nice but overworked and happy to leave that ship with terrible, unhealthy and unsafe food.

Entertainment

Shows are like high school play. The "special" show was not special at all.
Service and Staff
1 out of 5
Zero to none.
Thanks Caio Menezes, he gladly helped us almost daily trying to open our cabin door and helped our request to leave sliding door of our balcony shut in order to get a cool cabin after cleaning our cabin. He also sent us a bottle of wine and canapes
Ship Quality

Very dirty Buffet, cabin cleaning improved after tipping, no toiletry, no wash cloths or tissue. Common bathrooms are no as clean as expected. Bottles, cocktail glasses all over the floors
I had nearly 20 cruises in the last 20ys, most of them with MSC and NEVER complain about food !regarding the Cleaning issues I suppose it was just a matter of how you consider CLEAN, and honestly after pandemic there is a lot of people that is going maniac about it, mainly the pluri-vaxed, unfortunately for them…
Do people ever consider they could be getting sick from all the germs on the airplanes and, in turn, they are the ones spreading the others getting sick? Hmmm. Food for thought.
