Review summary

When I booked this cruise via America airlines cruise, I did not realize it was cost me $1265 more than it would had I booked it directly with the cruise line. This was our first time using a third party and certainly is our last!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was excellent. Buffet was pretty good. Didn’t do a specialty restaurant this sail.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The parties a lot of fun. Wish they all lasted more than 45 minutes.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The late night DJ didn’t really know how to grab the attention of his audience. This was the same on this ship August of 2023 as well. MSC seascape DJ is a way better DJ.

Children's Programs

I have no children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
With the exception of a handful of staff, majority of the service staff were not very friendly and they seem more exhausted than enthusiastic. This is a total 180 degree between August 2023 and August 2024.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The design is simple and uncomplicated. The symmetrical layout makes it easy to navigate and the staff does a great job of keeping it clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Last year we stayed in cabin 11222 so we knew what to expect. The house attendant was wonderful at making up our room and he was the most warm and welcoming person we met on this cruise.

Ship tip

Book directly through MSC cruises.

Ports of call

Brooklyn, New York

5 out of 5
We thoroughly enjoyed Bermuda. We did a few tours and a few excursions and we felt completely safe exploring the island.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
This dock yard has so much to offer. We got our jet ski right there and we got a beach party ticket for the beach at dock yard.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was smooth as it could be.

That’s quite a price difference. I always refer to Vacationstogo.com to see cruise prices. Try them out.
