As stated Girish and Hector in the main dining room were excellent. Rodrigo our room steward was wonderful keeping the room clean and straightened out twice a day.

Ship tip

Go with an open mind and enjoy.

Ports of call

Brooklyn, New York

5 out of 5
Parking was convenient.

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Due to a late arrival due to current conditions and a medical emergency we stayed on the ship but lost an excursion to Cocoa Beach that was cancelled due to the late arrival.

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Because of another medical emergency we arrived in Port late and did not get off the ship due to assigned dinner time since most shops were closed because of the late arrival. MSC did credit each room with a two hundred dollar onboard credit which was appreciated.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
This is a georgeous stop. South Beach was beautiful...water clear and warm...umbrella came in handy since it was so hot and sunny. Buffet was good.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Even though we had a 10 a.m. disembarkation we were able to leave the ship at 8a.m.

Glad you enjoyed...we liked the food too! I thought it was better than Royal Caribbean. Pizza was the best I've had at sea. Happy cruising!

Thanks for a greatly detailed review. Glad your cruise experience seems to have been great, and great you an OBC , your stars-rating does not match your review description. Looks like a wonky glitch. You should contact Shipmate to see if there’s an issue w/ the app rating system (?) … this happens once in a while. Thanks for sharing & happy cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️
