Be ready to wait forever for a bar drink and food is horrible. Ship is beautiful and so is private island.

Quick and easy embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Drinks were great if you could get one. Had to stand in line a minimum of half an hour to get one drink. Food was beyond terrible. Also, they push everyone into the buffet at lunch on embarkation day and it’s a disaster. Too many people and not enough food lines open.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Didn’t do any shows but the pool area has something going on all the time.

Entertainment

Didn’t go to a show

Great room steward. Otherwise the bar service was horrible. Not enough bars open and too few bartenders. Very unorganized.

Don’t do MSC unless you are yacht club.

Try a seven day or longer itinerary for a better experience. The 3–4 day cruises have become booze cruises with everyone booking the cheap rates with the free drink package.
