Review summary

Convinced this experience was so special due to the leadership of the captain and his team! These employees (all of them) came across genuinely happy with their jobs, and loyal to MSC. They are the reason our experience was the best of all the cruises. All the rest was secondary!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Variety show performers were outstanding! Last night- The captain and lot's of the general crew were part of the ending to be recognized, felt very warm and highlighted the ending!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Rolando Tamayo-Waiter/Dinner- Outstanding in every way! Predicted, & Managed our every need nightly, made us feel first class! James Mingguw-Steward, kept every detail of our room as we preferred and kept it immaculate and stocked! Pool server-Can't remember the names were personable, through, kind and efficient!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Only wish there were more music, dancing venues. Need adult only pool! Enjoyed not having Pop-Rap-Millennial type music at pool decks (big plus)!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious and roomy, comfortable and wide open, big port window with wonderful view and space to open luggage. Bathroom, very comfortable and all well equipped with plenty of storage. Perfect size for a couple, could even add someone to sleep on the full-sized sofa.

Ship tip

Ask & Plan ahead- Theme or Specialty dress nights! Bring compact beach tote for port days. Don't take a watch or cell phone, practice actually disconnecting to relax & take it all in! Talk to people, engage in new conversations, be sociable!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
No excursion, no interest in Miami.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
No excursion. They are all the same! Just a bunch of duplicate merchandise at all the stores- No culture, food or anything real. All staged for cruisers. Real turn-off!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
No excursion. The fort is worthwhile. Lots of walking!

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5
No excursion. They are all the same! Just a bunch of duplicate merchandise at all the stores- No culture, food or anything real. All staged for cruisers. Real turn-off! Worst/Least interested in port of all!

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
No. 1 reason to choose MSC for your choice of cruise companies! Beautiful Bliss! Prepare for a true, tropical paradise feel to this white sandy, crystal blue water! Easy and quick to access from ship, no long peer to walk on and very clean, well-kept and no pushy, trashy shops! Love it the most!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Efficient-Fast-Seamless! Early, no waiting, organized, wonderful!

I thought the pool on Deck 8 was adult only? Also the port at DR was awesome and especially the pools and it's free. Also the new port at Nassau is wonderful. You don't have to do an excursion to enjoy these ports.
