Review summary

This has to be my favorite cruise to date, we visited Ports neither of us had visited before so done our own thing. We met and made loads of friends that we will certainly keep in touch with. We have been back 2 days and are looking for our next cruise on MSC.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Never in my life have I known anything easier, one piece of paper and a passport and we were onboard, start to finish 10 minutes

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

As a fussy eater I was not expecting to use the MDR but I used it every evening. On the menu there was an always available option (chicken breast) I called that my wild card and expected to use it a few times, I only used it once.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There was always something to do if you wanted, from deck games , trivia , bingo etc

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Second to none, too many staff to individually name.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I have been in a few ships, this certainly was the cleanest. Everyday I saw the chefs heat probe the food on the buffet

Ship tip

Don’t listen to negative comments, make your own mind up when you are onboard.

Re the embarkation - did you upload your photos at home on the web check in or did you do it at the port? And where did you embark? I’m sailing from Southampton this time next week!! Excited 😁
