Review summary

This is the absolute worst vacation I have ever had. I realize the cruise line can't control the weather but the lack of alternatives was pitiful. How some sort of refund or credit was not given to passengers just shows how little MSC cares about their customers. As someone on a fixed income that saved for this cruise me and my son were terribly disappointed.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

I given a hard time about my birth certificate and it took forever to get on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was not good and the hidden charges were ridiculous.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

There was very little to do. Especially considering the fact alternative plans were not made after missing the ports we were supposed to stop at.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Watching paint dry would be more entertaining.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

I never even met my room steward yet my credit card paid him an extremely large tip. Most of the ship personnel were jerks. Not all. But most.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The only positive is that the ship was nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

It was clean but the bed was not very comfortable.

Ship tip

Don't do it. Go on a Carnival or Royal Caribbean cruise.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5

Key West, Florida Did not visit port

Due to weather we did not visit this port but instead went to the dump. Nassau....

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Did not visit port

We floated around in the freaking ocean instead of an alternative port. And not a mention of any compensation after a terrible time.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

Not bad. We couldn't get off fast enough!!
