After reading some negativ comments about MSC, I was a bit worry. Honnestly, MSC did a very good job! Ships was clean, staff were great, the shows were great and I really like the food. I found their food beeing more healthy than on other north american based cruise lines. They prepare some little food dishes which were quite good too. I'll do another MSC cruise or sure.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

I really like the fact that the non alcoolic beverage package included specialty coffee, fresh juices, big bottles of water that we can bring on to our cabin. Worth the price. Even regular coffee was good! MDR food was better than expected and good same for the buffet. Lots of healthy options.

Entertainment

3 different big shows in the theatre on a 3 day cruise. Well done MSC! I really enjoyed the circus show.Don't miss it! Also, Legends of the Rock was also good. The musicians in different venues were also very talented. Don't miss the sound and lights show on Ocean Cay at sunset.

Ship Quality

On all 20 different ships I've been on, this one had to more lounges and bars. 13 bars and lounges if I remember. The lounges are also huge! Never seen such big lounges. So lots of space for everyone. Never felt cramped. A bit dissapointed with the casino, kind of small. But, I did win😃. Very big buffet. Less crowded towards the back...Great pool deck. Ship was always clean.

Ship tip
At the very back of deck 13, there is an outdoor patio if you want to sit and eat your buffet food.
This is the BEST private island I've been! (I've been to coco cay, great styrrup and halfmoon cay).For those who love swimming, the beach closest to the ship dock is beautiful and you have free umbrellas and chairs! But the very best one was the lagoon beach located 10 min walk to the ship. The water was pristine and wow! This is also where the outdoor buffet is located. Also, don't miss the lighthouse bar next to the ship.Great views and your beverage package works there. Finally, most people didn't know but there is a sound and light show at around sunset! Dont'miss it!
Went on the Divina (14 days) in 2020, enjoyed it. Will be going for 3 days on the Magnifica in June. Thans for the feedback, glad you enjoyed your cruise.
I agree we have been on 2 MSC cruises in the past 8 months and leaving on another in 16 days.. MSC does do a really good job. For a weekend cruise we spent 700.00 for a balcony room. For 3 nights hotel stay, food and entertainment you can't get that no where ease. But anyways, so glad you enjoyed your cruise.. Thanks for sharing!!!
