Review summary
This was my second MSC cruise and we brought our entire family on this trip for a Thanksgiving cruise. It started out very rocky with boarding taking about 4 hrs because of some issue. I try and find the best in everything and any cruise is better than no cruise; however, it seemed like around every turn there was some sort of speed bump. We would order things and get something totally different, the ship ran out of things early in the cruise, service was super slow everywhere and a major lack of communication from staff. Our motto became “expect the unexpected”. We still had fun and laughed about all the weird service things that kept happening. It was a completely full ship and kids club told us there were 1100 kids onboard. It felt like the crew was ill prepared. I feel as though MSC has such good potential as their ships are beautiful, entertainment is good, and drink package is fantastic compared to other cruise lines. It just seems as though management and service are lacking. Also, MSC definitely needs to add more complimentary food venues because only having main dining and a buffet with 5600 people on a ship does not work. Will I sail MSC again? Possibly, if it is a really good deal and not a holiday.Embarkation

Ship tip
Pay attention to app and flyer on your bed. Rarely, do they make announcements. All the port days we didn’t know we had been cleared to exit ship u til we saw people walking outside.
