Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Glad we upgraded the cabin. Perfect size for 2 people. Very clean

Ship tip

Make sure you have funds on a credit card or debit card. You can get no cash on board or on the island and everything gets charged to your room. Buy drink packages even for soda there is very limited free options

Pretty small Could not do excursion due to weather only made it here the second half day. Not your fault but charging extra again for everything. We turned around and went back to the ship

You don't have to pay for any shows on MSC.

Why would you need a more expensive room? Do you mean the yacht club areas looked worthwhile?

I feel your pain. I was on the same ship in October. The ship itself was very nice looking inside and out. My room was perfect, (balcony suite). - food was plain, (no real taste) - entertainment needs alot of work PLUS no alcohol allowed inside the shows - main pool was kind small - Just about ALL the music was the same. No different variation. The same old beats I DID LIKE THE FRENCH FRIES ON THE POOL DECK.

I was on the Meraviglia in January and the Divina last month and had a great time. There was no charge for shows in the main theater and the inside basic cabin was great. Ocean Cay is one of the best cruise line private islands I’ve been to. Unless you bought something from one of the shops, the coffee or ice cream shop, or do not have the drink package, there are no charges on Ocean Cay for food, loungers or any beach.
