Review summary

This cruise ended up better than I expected. Ive been on MSC cruises before. My experience on MSC is mixed but this particular cruise was nice. Ship was beautiful, entertainment was fun, food was average but good. Overall, I would do this cruise again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was on the ship in probably 15 minutes from the time we arrived.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I didn't go to any restaurants, mainly the buffet. Lots of food to choose from and it all was decent.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
As far as activities, this is a smaller ship. The indoor pool was off limits the first day and a half of the second day. Due to maintenance.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The entertainment was good in the evenings and at night. Shows were decent, always something to do at night. During the day, however, not as much.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Never had issues with many lines, or issues getting service which surprised me because I've been on other MSC cruises where this was challenging.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was beautiful, and kept clean. For an older ship, it was very nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were upgraded from an interior to a balcony. This balcony felt very spacious. Lots of places to put your clothes, etc. balcony felt spacious too.

Ship tip

Go in with an open mind and remember the price point you paid for it.
