MSC Magnifica

all my questions were either met with blank stares or very conflicting information... many passengers left the cruise early...

12 Days sounded like a good idea when we booked. Truth is it was a little too long. Decent ship with strong ports of call. The cost was reasonable but the balcony room we had was very small and the shower with beyond tiny. The entertainment sucked on the deck as well as the theater. I dont think they had a cruise director. They did have a couple people that spoke via mic to the hand full of people willing to play their cheap kiddie games, so I assume one of them might have been the director. The deck music was on a loop so the 20th time we heard the same crappy music was really enough.

My favorite part of the cruise was making new friends. I was very disappointed with the amount of selling of items on the ship; not at stores but tables that were set up everywhere all time time! Morning noon and night.  I am upset that I had pre bought a cocktail package and was told that vodka tonic is not a cocktail and that I had to choose from what they consider cocktails to be!  The shore excursions were especially in Morocco very disappointing. It seemed as if we spent all day going to the shops where kickbacks were given   Shopping time and pharmacy time was to be in the excursion but we were brought to a little shop where it seemed the guide would be getting something out of it.  I heard so many good things about Msc and I would most probably not be returning. 

The best part of this cruise were the activity on the boat (Dance Lesson, Team Activity, the dancing bar area). The port stop was excellent!!

The only improvement is too much selling drink package on the boat and they are not flexible for upgrade or pay the different.

Overall was a great Cruise!!

Barco excelente, Personal sumamente amable. Itinerario de lujo. Camarote confortable. Organizacion insuperable. Buenas excursions. Sin duda alguna recomendaria MSC para una excelente estancia a bordo.
