Review summary

If your looking for a bare bones basic cruise for a relaxing time. This is it. NO Movies No Game shows No Pool activities (outside if stretching or salsa lessons). If you have sailed with NCL,RCC or Carnival you will find this cruise boring.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Got Right on , no issue. That maybe in part due to MSC's hop on & hop off cruises. Get on whatever port in europe and then disembark at the end at that port.
