Review summary

After reading many mixed reviews I was hoping to experience the better side of things. Overall we had a very good experience. Getting on board was interesting to say the least thankfully we had purchased an upgraded package and were able to skip a large part of the line. The others I'm sure waited 3 or 4 hours. The check in was not pleasant nothing happy there. Once on board met Robert our room steward, he was awesome always smiling and did a great job he should get a raise. Food over all was good. Buffet was okay but it is a buffet. Main dining room had great service and very tasty. Specialty restaurants were good the Japanese steak house being the best. The dinner with show was very nice good service and great show. Bar areas were less than most ships I missed that aspect hanging having drinks and listening to music I like. We will cruise with MSC again I'm sure.

It was okay for us but others waited for quite a few hours once we made it to the counter to get the room card we were "greeted" by someone that was having a difficult day and was not friendly at all
