We love MSC but you have to understand what it is a budget cruise line.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Marketplace Buffet
The Mediterranean food is excellent. They are also getting better at cooking for Americans, the bacon was actually done and the grits were cooked great most morning’s. I don’t eat hot dogs or hamburgers on the cruise and a lot of people complain about them. The pizza is great but it was better when they first started in the United States.
Panorama Restaurant
Had lunch there on sea days. Good food and good service.
L'Olive Doree & L'Olivo D'Oro
Had dinner there almost every night. All the cruise lines are cutting back on their staff the Waiters were working there behind’s off the service was slow due to the lack of staff.
Onboard Activities
Horizon Pool
We love the pools and hot tubs they are a nice size and they have an indoor pool and hot tubs as well. Carnival is turning their pools into kiddy pools. The big outdoor movie screen was great with movies and sports. Outdoor smoking on the one side of the lido, great to watch the football game and smoke a cigar🏌🏿♂️
Casino Imperial
The slots were not as tight as carnival and you get a free cruise with 5000 points.
Entertainment
The Broadway Theater
We have been on many MSC cruises so they need to update the entertainment, they did have a comedian but he was not funny at all. We at least they are trying.
