Review summary

This was a quick getaway for our anniversary. Our first time on this ship which was very large with all of the pools and entertainment that you would expect. The ceiling light show in the main shopping area was excellent and very different. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We never saw or heard any announcements from the Captain, which we were used to on a daily basis when sailing.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Took a bit too long for testing, and awaiting results, then another line to check in. Communication was not very clear.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Specialty seafood dining room was excellent. Meals in the main dining room were equal to other cruise ships.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I used the fitness center which was clean and had all of the equipment that I would expect.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The dancers were just ok but the singers were awful. Also I do not want to see a male singer's privates thru his skin tight outfit - very tacky.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Comfortable room with large couch. Small but useful balcony. The cabin was clean and the bedding was extremely comfortable.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

This is a very relaxing island. The signage could be a little better and it will get even better when the trees grow in more. I loved climbing the lighthouse as well as the light show at night.

We walked off with our luggage and were one of the first couples off of the ship before 7 am. It was a very easy experience.
