The cruise was nice since we were with our friends. We would not do a MSC cruise again due to the international passengers being extremely rude and pushy. They left a very bad taste in our mouth. We go on vacation to relax and enjoy ourselves, this was like dealing with the rat race constantly. There was definitely not enough of “American” activities/music for us to enjoy.And it’s annoying to have to hear all the announcements in six different languages. Never again
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very smooth, nice facilities
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The food at the buffet was limited for “American” taste. On the second day they were out of pancake syrup and other items. The people (Passengers) were extremely rude and would step right in front of you. Our waiter for dinner every night was Wisnu and his assistant Agotu were excellent !! They were the best part of our trip ! The food was excellent in the restaurant as well. The bars around the ship were always out of bananas. We extremely appreciated the “call button” on the tables in the buffet. This was the best ! We did not have to leave our food to go get on line for a half hour waiting for a soda.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
There was a very limited amount of activities. We only walked around the ship most of the time.
Entertainment
1 out of 5
We went to three shows. The BeerEnprov was not very good at all. The music from the shows “Way” and “Born to Rock” was good, the dancers were very good, and the female singers were spot on. The male singers were horrible. Except for Hector who sang Opera was absolutely amazing !!! The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s show and dance was awesome !! There were hundreds of people dancing and the music was great. I wish that had more of them. Flip that to the every night Latino type music were the bands/singers were good, but only like three couples ever got up and danced. If it were rock and roll or disco the place would have been packed !
Children's Programs
Did not bring children
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Room was always in tip top shape, Yoga was right on ! Wisnu was excellent ! His assistant was Agotu and he was very good as well. We were sad to say goodbye to them. All of the other waiters and bartenders were all very good.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Everything was always extremely clean wherever we were. The interior decor (like the funky shaped silver chairs on deck 6/7) was a little weird for my taste, but everyone is different.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Bed and pillows very comfortable. Just the right amount of space. Yoga kept everything spotless.
The only thing I missed was being able to watch a channel showing the front of the ship, it’s nice to see where you are going.
Ship tip
If you are American or English be prepared to hear everything said five or six times in different languages. Also beware of the rude international travelers, especially the French and the Italians. I would never sail on a MSC cruise again because of this.
Nice island ! I liked the fact it was easy to go back and forth to the ship and the island. It was nice but we did not do any of the excursions or activities there, felt it was too much money being asked.
Very smooth. Nice to be able to take out time to eat and hang out on the pool deck before leaving. Other cruises we did we had to stay in an overcrowded area with only one restroom. This was much better.
I definitely agree on the pushy rude foreigners. Thats 1 of the reasons we wont travel msc again also the food quality was horrible. The ship was beautiful but entertainment was bad.
