Traveled as: Family (young children)

Review summary

Family cruise, 4 adults and 3 kids. We all enjoyed it. Had great service at dinner and we made the most of the ports. We did our own trips and saved so much money compared to going with MSC on their tours or using their shuttle buses

We got the city boat (6 euro return) from the port to the old town, then we went to the Talamancar beach for drinks (about a 20 min walk from the ship)
