Plan your day ahead & book your entertainment early. Shows sell out fast. Their pizza & baked goods are delicious! Try the Pesto Pizza!

Unless you are doing the "Yacht Club" then you will be nickeled and dimed. it's a low cost because nothing is included. The drinks have little to no alcohol in them. I don't normally drink but I "had" to get a drink package because my husband wanted one and all cabin members must buy one. Since I had a drink package I had a few drinks a day. It normally only takes me two drinks to get buzzed and I'll have a hangover off just the two. I had FOUR margs at dinner and felt NOTHING except acid reflux. I changed to prosecco and was feeling it after my second glass. You can get ice cream by the pool from 12pm-5pm but they run out early but they say oh we have gelato on deck 6 but it's $5 for the smallest size. Crepes said they were free on my one sheet but I never found free crepes, they were $8. There are no trash cans anywhere so people were leaving trash at tables, on the ground, in the hallways. I will say it was picked up quickly but still made me feel dirty just leaving my trash on tables.

Honestly be prepared for a fee for a lot of things. Compared to other cruise lines which already nickel and dime you this line by far does it the most in my experience.

If you get the drink packages wait until you get on the ship sometimes they are cheaper.

Bring a sweater/wrap for the evenings and enjoy as many of the events asl possible. It was nice that the ship docked at piers on each island and did not have to

It's a city of a ship; take the daily activity sheet MSC provides with you. You can lounge the day away or be as busy as you'd like to be.

You have to manage expectations. I spent 6 days trying to find Aqua Panna water on this ship before giving up. Idk, why they only had it sporadically. Maybe they are phasing it out, idk, but I was disappointed. Also, we requested apple juice every day for room service breakfast. And every day except the 3rd to last day, they gave us pineapple juice. Friends, pineapple juice isn't even a selection option on the menu! One more thing, if you like hot dogs, I don't, but hubby does; the hot dogs are chicken 😫 Husband was disgusted. I am that wife that will let you know you have not gotten my husband food right😂🤷🏽‍♀️

Do it - you won't regret it! We are going back in June on this same exact ship to the same places. If that's not a testiment to how much we enjoyed - I'm not sure what is.

Don’t rely on the MSC and me app. Be sure to book your excursions outside of the app. Do not expect average or above quality food. Make sure you register for all shows in advance. Otherwise you will get shut out.

Finish all your affairs with guest services while on board. It is impossible to resolve our matters afterwards. Do your research about the ship cabin placement. Order a carousel and excursions before sailing. Casino, when playing the slots, familiarize yourself with a minimum bet. I played slots with 1 cent games. But you have 88 point minimum. Be nice to a crew even if you don't like something. Tip: Finish your drinks before going into theater. No drinks allowed inside.
