Review summary

I love MSC. I'm sort of a spokesperson for the cruise line. As I'm always trying to turn negative comments to positive comments when folks try to compare MSC to other cruise lines.

A little disappointed, but had zero to do with MSC. I had been coming to Nassau for over 20 yrs. Hated to see what the pandemic and hurricanes have did to the island. Will be back there next week.

I wonder how embarkation was for steerage. Lol. That's what I'm curious about. We're sailing from Brooklyn for the first time in 2 weeks. We've sailed from Bayonne and Manhattan multiple times. We shall see.

Thank you for your review. Not everyone can afford to do Yacht Club so the experience you had isn’t going to be the same as others.

The yacht club is not indicative of the MSC experience that 90% of cruisers are experiencing or looking for opinions on. I found a lot to like about MSC cruises, and some things that weren't quite my cup of tea, but its from a common steerage perspective.

Glad to read you had a good time but I’m not sure the Yacht Club experience is typical of the vast majority of MSC guests not paying for the Yacht Club. I’m looking at an MSC cruise now and the Yacht Club price is 10 times the cost of the cheapest room ($259 vs $2459) It had better be an amazing experience for that price but if I was willing to pay that much, I would opt for a luxury line.
