Review summary

So the cruise itself was great. Staff was amazing, kids club ladies were great with my son (8). Our room steward was very nice, servers and bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. We all enjoyed the food, all the negative reviews on food must be subjective because from the buffet to the MDR to the 3 specialities restaurants we ate at were all good. Some better than others of course but all good. There was no “bad food”. I highly suggest the lamb from “butchers cut”. Now my main issue was the passengers. I know this cruise line is Italian based and I suppose it attracts a lot of Italians amongst various other people across the world. But man the groups of 6-8 Italians and I don’t mean American Italians I mean Italians who flew in from Italy probably were just so loud, rude, obnoxious, and had zero manners. I understand we were all on vacation but it was truly the most annoying part of our experience was dealing with the rowdiness from the same 3-4 groups of passengers.

Ship tip

Go find the “cocktail bar” by the specialty restaurants after 5:15pm and order the “Maui magic cooler” if you like sweet cocktails.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
It took us 90+ minutes to get off at this port. Apparently their system was down to allow people off the ship and they moved our line two times and we lost almost 2 at this port. So this was a MSC issue not an San Juan issue.
