We had a nice cruise with 4 friends. The Aurea class is nice with its own pooldeck, where your can enjoy the sun in a quiet place, and not to-gether with a lot of others. Also the Aurea Spa and wellness is fine.

Ship tip
There seem to be a ovecrowed especially at the buffet on 13th deck. So better to have your meal at the restaurant.
Went with the shuttlebus to town, just to discover all shops were closing at 7.30. and as we didn't dock until 6 o'clock there were not time for shopping
was impossible to find your luggage as it all were left in wrong place. So you had to look among all the tracks to find your own. After that was waiting for 1 hour for the transfer bus to leave.
The MSC ships do have some nice comfort features that come with a price, BUT, if you/we can afford it, the benefits are worth the cost (in my opinion). I would totally do the Aurea Experience or Yacht Club.
