Review summary

We did not know what to expect with this cruise company as this was our first sailing with them. We were pleasantly surprised that we got that much value for the price. We took this cruise as a preview of MSC as we are sailing with them in April around Northern Europe, leaving from Southamton, England on the Euribia. Would like to do this same cruise with them a few times a year.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. We were on the ship in less than 10 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was not as good as the more expensive cruise lines. Certainly not gourmet, but you can always find something you like. Being an Italian line, the pizza, pasta and bread was very good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows in the theater every night were outstanding, especially the Legends of Rock and Roll and The Circus. The Circus show is the best that I have ever seen on any cruise ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone always had a smile and were pleasant and accommodating.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is well maintained and always clean. Easy to get around. The elevators always worked well and were never too crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were upgraded from an inside room to a Junior Balcony, which was great. We usually stay in balcony rooms and found this one smaller than our usual rooms, but it was fine. Especially since we paid for an inside cabin.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
We drove to this port as we live on the west coast of Florida. Did not do any excursions. Except for cruises, I try to avoid being in Miami.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We shopped a bit around the port and had lunch at Senor Frogs. Always a good time. We did not do any excursions.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We loved being here for 2 days, with nothing to do but sit in the sun, swim and eat and drink! Very relaxing and beautiful! We did not do any excursions.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple, quick and easy. I misplaced my cruise card and my husband was upset that we would have a problem. No problem at all. They scanned his card and my name came up with his as we were in the same room. It was as quick as that!
