Review summary

Overall, this cruise was another great MSC experience. Food was very good, service was fantastic, crew was helpful and friendly. Scheduling of excursions was very frustrating. Didn't know excursion times until late the night before. Times on our agenda on the app would change. Excursion tickets wouldn't match the actual times of the excursions. Spoke with excursion staff on multiple occasions. They were very helpful, and I learned that the excursion and planning system is the problem, not the staff. We will cruise with MSC again.

Cabin / Stateroom

Aft balcony was very big. There were bunks in the cabin that were handy for storage. Larger than normal bathroom was great. Always clean, very comfortable.
