I liked that you get from the ship directly to the island withoutthe neet fora boat or a ferry transfer. Also well organized ride to tour the island then finaly enjoy the beach

shops mostly with overpriced items. A bit crowded with tourists. I felt safe unlike some of the reports. People are very friendly. Did not go on an excursion, it was raining.

I bought the Miami, everglades excursion which was wonderful. The night before I requested a wheel chair assistance from the excursion desk, and ther reassured me that the W/C will be there for me at the meeting point. There was not only No wheel chair, but they changed the meeting point. With me being physically and visually challenged I was left to my own vices and almost missed the tour Bus.

Sorry for the mix up with the wheel chair. We cruised the Magnifica back in December and had a great time. We really enjoy MSC spait all the negative things being said. Thanks for your review and glad you still had a good time.

Thank you for your positive attitude despite a disability. So glad you had a great time overall. I love MSc but never experienced Magnifica yet. Booked for next November!

Too bad about the mishap with the wheelchair, but unfortunately there's a communication problem with MSC and other cruise lines. One person tells you one thing another tells you something different or neither does anything. It's the sign of the times in the service industry. Good to hear you otherwise had a great time, and thank you for your review.
