Review summary

This was our first experience with MSC and it was so positive, that we will definately consider for our future travels soon. Quite a value. Only other suggestion would make is to provide local maps of areas

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room, food and service were outstanding. We used the dining room as much as possible including breakfast to avoid the buffet. So crowded. Variety was good. Wait staff were outstanding. Bar service was efficient. Appreciated the quality of the liquor and the drinks. But at time they were frequently out of beers of our choice

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool side. Ping pong, mini golf. Card room. Process for signing up was efficient and a good way to plan. Enjoyed them all

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows were average. Musicians/Djs were very good. Enjoyed the amount of areas with different music options

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was helpful, couteous, friendly. Good models of your customer satisfaction standards. Everyone greated you, Room staff were outstanding. Dining room staff were outstanding.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It seemed to be well maintained. Only suggestion was the "smoking area" needed cleaned/ash trays emptied more often

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Well well maintained. Cabin staff was friendly, checked on us. Balcony was wonderful. The upgrad was a surprise and very much appreciated.

Ship tip

While I would recommend MSC and the cruise. I have worned individuals to pay close attention to the ports docking at and the proximity to the percieved city docking at. It was a bit misleading. The distance where docked at vs the city of advertisement

Ports of call

Bari, Italy
