Review summary

Cruise was good for what we paid. Probably won’t go on another MSC cruise again though. This was our 4th time and service and quality is less each time.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining at night isn’t that great.The mexican restaurant (specialty restaurant ) was excellent. Main dining for breakfast was decent however they seem to lack basic requests for like water or butter and jam for toast or grapefuit juice when advertised on menu? Buffet food was pretty good but set up is horrible. People crammed everywhere and crowded in the lines. Skipped lunch several times because didn’t want to deal with the chaos.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Inside pool was nice and decent temperature. Some of the Jacuzzi’s were on smaller side. Gym was decent although small.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Had a problem with design of having to go through the smoky casino to get to one of the theaters?! Like who wants to smell like cigarette smoke? Need to have another way to get to Carousel lounge.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The size wasn’t to bad. Not enough storage for clothes. Need more drawer space. Our sliding doors on closet was hard to open. Felt like it wasn’t on the track right.
