Nice ship but MDR service was very bad. Excursion crew were not helpful when asked for suggestions on excursions for elderly with mobility issues.

Food and Dining
1 out of 5
Most meals were luke warm at best and either over or undercooked. Service was terrible. Had to ask for basics (water, butter, etc) at every meal. Eating utensils were dirty.

Shows were good but too loud. The various venues around the ship were also very loud.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Cabin steward was awesome! The MDR crew was the worst we've ever experienced in the 38 years we've been cruising. The service was slow, we had to ask for the basics such as water and butter at every dinner and the crew wasn't friendly.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Our cabin was 4 decks above a smoking section and we could smell cigarette smoke constantly. I brought this to the attention of the Director of Guest Services and recommended they advise constomers of the potential of cigarette smoke with the cabin placement. The director said they could not do that. Why?
Ship tip
Don't book MSC. We've had much better service on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL and Celebrity.
