The ship and staff were very nice but the dinner menu was not designed for the US. A lot of things other cruise line have free they charge for like ice cream and shrimp cocktail.

I agree on most of your comments. MSC will make you miss other popular cruise lines. However that’s why we only cruise them through Yacht Club bookings. That experience is the best cruise ever. Out of our eight MSC cruises, six of them were Yacht Club.

I guess someone didn't do the research before sailing. Yes, it's an Italian company so the food is not geared toward Americans. Also you missed out if you didn't get off the ship in the Dominican Republic. It's a brand new port, maybe you should watch some videos on YouTube. Very nice shopping area and a giant swimming pool for free. But then again we will be going next week and will let you know if it's NASTY. Lol

Thanks for the review. I cruised with MSC in January and found good selections and quality in both the dining room and buffet. If people can’t find something to eat from the menus I had, they either have some serious food restrictions or are way too picky.
