Review summary

This was our very 1st cruise and we enjoyed it! We would definitely choose MSC again!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Easy...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We were assigned to the Waves Restaurant for dinner dining. Mark Bayani and Japeth Panturas took very good care of us and we received EXCELLENT service. Van Joe Malaca was helpful to us while getting lunch in the buffet and went out of his way. He always had a smile on his face and when he would see me in the MDR he would greet me by name!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We did not do any of the above activities on the ship...but there was plenty to choose from!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We watched all but one Broadway show...they were "ok". The Rock Circus show was good, but the Houdini show was great!

Children's Programs

We had no children with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ricky was out stateroom attendant. He came to our room twice a day making sure our room was clean and we had what we needed. Ricky was very friendly and always helped with whatever we needed!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was VERY WELL maintained. There were always staff members cleaning the ship during the cruise.

Be patient when your ship is full.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Downtown is not the cleanest and it stinks. Watch out for the dripping brown water from the ceilings. We did not do any excursions because we wanted to experience the port...next time we will do an excursion. Items in port are overpriced and not of good quality. Some of the shops are pushy about you buying their products.
