Review summary

Decent cruise for the money. Got to see NYC & Bermuda, so I am very satisfied ! Affordable for a balcony , drink package, and internet . Would cruise again with MSC to their private island on a 3 or 4 day .

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Check-in was 1230pm and did not get on the ship until 230pm. Endless lines, however, staff did direct passengers and were effectively guiding us. A large group of cruisers were rude pushy and did not recognize personal space. No fault of the cruise line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
It's relatively true what they say about the food. It is lacking in most venues. The MDR tasted like school cafeteria food and not many good choices The buffet was decent, but nothing I really looked forward to except their hashbrown patties & chocolate croissants at breakfast Positives - canned Coke products Bottled water and amazing cappuccinos

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The main pool was pretty cold so I didn't spend much time in it. . I liked the layout of it them and the Indoor pool .. My son enjoyed the ropes obstacle course. My friend enjoyed the fitness center I loved the spa services . Went two days in a row !! Best part of the cruise

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Clean Irish comedian - so so funny Dancing / Music show was pretty good Jazz lounge loved the upscale atmosphere Guitar player who did Bob Marley & Kool & The Gang was excellent My son enjoyed the nightly DJ White party entertainment had too much talking and not enough music

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room Steward was efficient and did an awesome job cleaning the room ..however he could have been a little more friendly. It might have been a language barrier?.although smiles are always understood. No one except Spa Services really wowed me regarding service on this ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Modern sophisticated and classy ship. However, the tiled floors were slippery. I know I was nervous walking on them at times and an elderly man fell and severely injured himself. Staff had no clear direction on how to proceed after it occurred.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Kept clean Storage was good for 2 people Bags fit under the bed TV had about 10 channels to watch Had a comfortable couch for my tall son to sleep on Small balcony, but we enjoyed it

Ship tip

Food & drinks need improvement. If you are a Coke lover, you will appreciate the cold cans instead of flat soda on tap. Affordable cruise option with q balcony & drink package Great internet service, which was included for 2 phones !!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Better than embarkation. Bags were easily located. Need more covered areas for uber & cab pick ups. It started pouring rain and we got soaked !!

Thanks for your review! I'm sounding like a broken record, but try MSC outside the USA. The North American clientele turned MSC in the Americas into a different cruise line because they complained about the food, entertainment, different language announcements, etc so MSC tried to change things and destroyed their signature European cruise style that the USA passengers hated, now we're stuck with crappy food, crappy guests and unfriendly staff.
