Review summary

Overall, we had a good cruise with MSC, it was our first time cruising with the company. We love their itinerary. I think they definitely need to work on the menu and presentation of the dishes at the Ocean Cay restaurant. Also, the steaks at the butchers cut restaurant was bland have no taste or too salty, we went there twice and both time was disappointing.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We love the buffets, many options, and always have a fish dish which we love. Dining room dinner was fine with good portions, but limited menu. The most disappointing was the specialty restaurants. The menu was limited and quality of food was hit and miss, we will not buy the specialty package again.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We have a lot to do on the ship, fitness center, fun center, bowling, spa, a lot of shops and left the chocolate factory there

Ports of call

Brooklyn, New York

4 out of 5
It’s a very tight port

Newport, Rhode Island Did not visit port

We lined up for the tender boat for an hour but still was able to get off the ship so we just went back to our room and forget the whole thing.

Boston, Massachusetts

We love this port, not enough time to go around since it took too long to get off the ship and super long line to get back on the ship
