Review summary

Wen I asked Sheila Dimano at guest services to either provide me with a couch or chair, or a different cabin, she offered to downgrade me to a lesser cabin. Two days later, I got a call from someone who said that I was given the correct cabin. I tried to explain that it was the correct cabin number, but the cabin was not as it was described when I booked it. I got no response to that.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

I booked a premium balcony cabin with a seating area. There was no seating. No couch, no chair. If I wanted to watch television, I had to stand up. If I wanted to eat the room service breakfast that was supposed to be included, I had to stand up.

Ship tip

Do not book an MSC cruise through travel.

Instead of being able to wait in our cabins, or the buffet, we had to sit, for over an hour, in a lounge.

you always have to leave the cabin early so they can prepare it for the next cruise. To wait in a public area is most common. Or do a self assist disembarkation. So you can leave on your own.
