Review summary
We booked this cruise because of the itneriary, We had always wanted to go to Iceland. Although we made the best of it I would never book again on MSC!
The worst part of this whole cruise was the smoke! Smoking was allowed in the casino which as you might guess is located in the center of the ship and open to lounges and comman areas. Plus many people smoke in their cabins and the enitre ship smelled of stale smoke. I really sensitve to smoke and for that reason alone I would not book again on this cruise line.
Secondly the food was bad and got worse throughout the cruise. I understand the menus are geared toward Europeans but even the Pizza was terrible. I think Dominos has better pizza. I would have thought that Italians could handle pizza.
The service was very inconsistent. Our cabin attendant was great. The rest of the service was most times terrible. Many times we would just wait on ourselves. Other times in the main dinner room during lunch we would just get up and leave because we could not get served. The service in the evenings was much better.
