Review summary

snacks. Still had no voice. Arrival at Ocean Cay the ship was delayed to get docked. Maybe it got stuck or something. The tug boat towed it in. We watched it from the balcony. Still no voice. With all the vibration and motion I managed to throw up, lovely. We stayed at the cabin for the day. We decided to do the buffet for the last night. It was okay. The best hot dish was the pasta with mushrooms in a white sauce. The disembarkation was total Chaos. We did the MSC shuttle. Missed the first one because we had to find our luggage. We waited about 35 minutes for the next one. Will I cruise MSC again yes, but only in the Yacht Club.

Sorry part of the review got cutoff here is the full review 👇 Things go downhill.... Wasn't the worse cruise ever. We arrived at Miami Airport took a MSC shuttle to the port. Arrived and it took less than ten minutes to get on the ship. That is a plus. We went to the buffet grabbed a bite to eat which was at par with the other MSC cruise ships. Then went to the bar at the pool had a drink and broke out with the hives (🤦‍♀️whoops they put pineapple in my drink). Took Benadryl everything was fine. Our aft balcony cabin was great so was our cabin Steward. Got a message that put excursion was cancelled and had to go to the desk to resolve the issue. Lost my voice right after that 🤦‍♀️ acid reflux sucks. First dinner the food was good had a minor hiccup at the start but it was fix quickly. Then had to get the lego ship and do other shopping. We were exhausted at that point, so we stayed on the balcony and was asleep by 10 pm. Breakfast in the MDR was good. Food was hot and done properly. Being a sea day we hung around the pool and our balcony. We opted to have lunch in the MDR again it was good. Still no voice. Dinner was in the MDR I did the porterhouse husband did rh fillet. Our serve Angus was spot on. The ship was really starting to look like Christmas. They were playing Christmas music and had a snow party at the pool. After dinner we watch Karaoke and the headed to the sports bar to watch FSU NCAA football. Also they had 2 singers who took turns. Great wait staff also provided snacks.
