Review summary

I have sailed with MSC several times and have never been disappointed. Looking forward to my next voyage in September on the Divina.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Only took about 45 minutes including wait time for Covid test results. Very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
MDR didn't have a great variety. Food was a bit overcooked, and not much flavor. We ate at Butcher's Cut one night...absolutely terrific !

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Trivia was good. Entertainment staff very engaging. Dance classes were fun. Lounges and dancing at night were awesome.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were mediocre. Entertainers were talented, but types of shows were disappointing. One night with a magician was good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All crew went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They remembered us and greeted us by name each time we saw them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All areas were kept immaculate. Layout of the ship was easy to navigate. Very nice promenade down the middle of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our balcony was spacious enough for the two of us, the closet not so much. Very little room for our clothes, and even less drawer space. I can't imagine how more than two people would have enough room for their belongings.

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful island. Don't bother to pay for a beach umbrella, there's plenty while the ship is sailing at only 25% capacity.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Breezed right through Customs with the facial recognition system. We carried off our own luggage. So total time was less than 10 minutes.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was on Meraviglia in January and loved it and just booked a 19 day on Divina for October.
