Review summary

Overall we had a terrific time. The ship is stunning. Food was mostly excellent except in the main dining hall so we just went elsewhere after trying it twice. We traveled with a family of 10 from 3 generations and all had a great time. Will cruise with MSC again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation went smoothly. The cruise line assigns you a boarding time, our was 3pm. We landed in Miami at 11:30 am so we boarded about 12:45pm. It appeared that no one really adhered to the assigned boarding time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet - food was great but long lines pretty much all the time. Main Dining Room - the food was VERY disappointing- small portions, not flavorful - cold soups - rather subpar. Specialty Dining - Excellent. Service was great and the food was terrific. We did the Teppanyki and the Butchers Cut. Both terrific.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So much to do! Gym was a bit crowded but I guess that’s a positive thing! Sports Bar was super fun. Pools were terrific and the children’s areas were great!

Ship tip

This is a large ship and it takes a few days to get orienteered. We found ourselves lost and turned around quite often. The elevators, at times, had long wait times.
