I don’t understand. We have been on 2 MSC Cruises. Loved loved 100% of all of it. From first step on the grounds. Til we got off the next Sunday. Our service was amazing a the food too. Going again in May. They are switching ships before we go. It will be the SEASIDE !! We are so excited but will miss the regular staff We got close with a few and I still message them Plz at least try this cruise line to see for yourselves. It’s a lot cheaper than what we use to pay on RCL or NCL HOPE YOU give it a shot !!!!

This is amazing to me that the review right after yours blasted the entertainment. I think an MSC cruise is all in the eye of the beholder, I'm not even sure why I'm reading these reviews any more. Lol

Thanks for the review. I've never sailed with MSC but have one coming up very soon. Been reading both the good and bad reviews but obviously I'll save judgment. Just plan on relaxing and getting some rest.

Appreciate your detailed and informative review. People who are upset about once per day room service now have an option. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Thank you for your review. Just a thought, no judgement, but maybe they don't want people sitting at the table talking and drinking delaying the serving. We always have a before dinner cocktail in a lounge then wine with the meal.
