Review summary

Just spent a week on a beautiful new ship, cabins good size, well appointed. Service poor, too few staff, not supported by managers. Only one chair on the balcony, but some had none. However more furniture was being loaded at Genoa. A fantastic ship that needs a few more weeks to be sorted.

On the maiden voyage too. Not much of entertainment compared to other cruise lines. Too many problems but that can be expected on the first voyage. We paid extra for a balcony (it was a huge corner balcony) but unfortunately we couldn't use it because there were no furniture. We did receive a $100 credit per cabin (should have been more). Also food was not as good as Disney or Carnival. No lobster or stone crabs! Entertainment staff was very stiff and rude to non-European. I wouldn't recommend this ship although I may consider taking another MSC cruise in the Caribbean. Not impressed with service but the ship was beautiful. Crazy cabin layout to accommodate more rooms per ship. Photographers were not good. All around poor experience. Sorry.

I was also on the first trip from Genoa. I think the second trip has been much better. They realy work hardt to get the ship on the way it should be. It s a wonderful ship. Great shows
