Review summary

I don’t recommend MSC for the food that resembles more a college cafeteria than a decent (even if cheap) restaurant.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

App malfunctioned, issues with out last names

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Most of the food was barely edible. Italian dinner night was ok, but still tasting like frozen food.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Basically there is the pool, and a mini-bowling alley. Gym was ok but small so super crowded.

Very good nightly shows in a crescendo

Don’t have kids

I didn’t think this ship was that old! Food and entertainment were the low points of our MSC cruise 5 years ago but I’d give them another shot on a newer ship if the price and itinerary were right. Hope you enjoy future cruises better.
