Review summary

There must be a better choice of boat rather than MSC Opera

Embarkation

4 out of 5

A bit slow

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Abrasive staff manage the 5th Deck restaurant - avoid them. "Anything other than 8,30 on "Any Time" dining seems to be a problem for them. Some meals great; others average. Buffet carvery was good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Far from great

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Children's Programs

No children

The lower ranking staff gave the best service. Others higher up exhibited attitude problems. I though we were meant to be customers.....

I'm sure there is but did you not choose it when booking? All the info is out there pre book so surely nothing was too much of a surprise?
