Terrific entertainment, very clean ship, excellent service. Food OK, Nassau poor stop unless you book an excursion.

Review summary

Great value. Would have liked liquor and WIFI Package if priced differently. A friend who cruised with us and booked late was able to obtain the liquor package and wifi at a reasonable price through you. We did not see this as an option when we booked.

Nice cabin, could have a couch or chair.

Ship tip

Book excursion if traveling to Nassau. Liquor package at $200+ per person not worth it for us with our drinking habits (3 beers per day each). A lower priced package would have been terrific.

The private island was really cool. Nassau is a terrible stop unless you get away from the port area and perhaps book some kind of excursion.

Too many venders bothering you. Poor area. Best to book excursion at Nassau.

Cool stop. Great beaches, service on beahes, and light show in evening on light house. Cool being able to leave ship in evening to explore the island and enjoy the show.

Glad you enjoyed most of it. MSC actually has the cheapest drink packages among the main stream cruise lines. Unless you were going to have 6 to 7 drinks per day, the drink packages on any cruise line are rarely worth it.

One more reason we love our balcony stateroom is the couch near the sliding door. Our reserved room has a couch which is a Pullman converts into two bunk beds - great for traveling with kids in the same room (we've got grandkids - twin 3rd graders - boys 7 and 5 - a 3 year old girl - and we'll probably give them all opportunities to travel with nanny and zeyhde. The only thing additional it costs is our loving attentions.
