Review summary

Overall great great cruise experience I see MSC is striving to improve and step up their game in the business. This was my first MSC cruise so I had several other lines to compare . MSC is getting there. Keep improving food/bar service hospitality and crew education I know you can’t make everyone happy but I personal saw you MSC do their best .

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Embarkation was a nightmare 4 hour wait on line with no announcement or communication from port staff or MSC staff . Very disorganized . Not a good experience for senior parents with medical needs. MSC should be able to accommodate the elderly that are not in wheelchairs during embarkation when issues arise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We only ate in the main dinning and buffet. had better food on other cruise line but not the worse .

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Water slide and mini golf fitness center basket ball court wanted to book for bowling but was told it was booked up on sea days. However ship had plenty to do if you wanted to get into something

@cabadavis I don’t remember the name exactly but it was a coach bus parked in front as we disembarked in port canaveral and The bus or shuttle leaves every 15 min and the last trip back to the ship was 5:30pm
