Ship experiences
Food and Dining
1 out of 5
Buffet closed between 10 am and 12 noon
Again closed from 4 pm to 7 pm
Staff are not polite and buffet area is chaotic
Dirty tables not cleaned on time and due to the rush of cruisers it made things even worse
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Limited entertainment which is pay as you use, staff at the entertainment were understaffed
Kids club staff were rude and impolite to kids
My kids got a scare of their life when told off why they don't speak French. A French movie was played for them and they had to sit through as they were so scared
My son started crying and preferred to swim rather than go to kids club
Over crowded pools
The hot tubs were cold and it was a shock to be told that the hot tubs are fine
Entertainment

No gifts or any motivation for games played by kids
Biased staff
Service and Staff

Poor morale and over worked staff
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Nice ship well designed
Not cleaned timely inside
No one monitors hand washing as you enter the buffet
Sharing of serving spoons for veg and non veg - check cheese areas at buffet
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
Well kept cabins but I didn't go on the cruise to stay in my cabin
Ship tip
There are better cruises
Msc is using its marketing to rope in clients but am sure once bitten twice shy
I wouldn't cruise with msc again
