Review summary

Have cruised with MSC before and loved it. This cruise was a major disappointment.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
it took an hour and a half ...new staff member hit delete instead of enter , and all info was lost,

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Buffet was terrible,,,Golden Coral type of experience. Poor presentation and it all looked greasy, and aged. They ran out of staples like butter and cream cheese the 2nd day. Restaurant had great service, but again food quality was lacking. as an Italian line you would think they know how to do Italian food. Bars were good and drinks were well made.

Marketplace Buffet

1 out of 5

Horrible food. Poor presentation, and mainly tasteless. Coffee was weak, and juices watered down. Highlight was their European cold cuts ,cheeses, breads, and Lox on the final day. Pizza was pure Italian...dough, sauce, and a little cheese with herbs tossed on it

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
pool deck pretty much shut down at 9 pm along with buffet.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
High school talent show quality.

Children's Programs

adult

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
very good staff with the exception of long lines at customer service/reception desk.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
new ship so very clean, however activities spread out across many decks, and hard to navigate

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
balcony, very modern with tub

Ship tip

there is usually a reason why the price is lower than the competition

Thanks for the review. I was on the Meraviglia in January and they Divina last month and enjoyed them both. I thought the food and entertainment or equal to or better than that on Carnival Royal Caribbean.
