Review summary

As a seasoned veteran cruiser I felt that many items left much too desired. Cabin service, Main Dining food, Entertainment and too many days at sea.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Well Done

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Buffets were very good. Main dining room was below average based upon my previous cruising experiences.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness Center was relatively small. The Matt’s should be replaced with much thicker Matt’s. Equipment sate of the art.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Stage shows were average. Musicians average with duo’s trying to perform songs that were not quite up to par. One group of 4 male musicians were the exception. Excellent.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All was well except I had 3 room stewards with two out of three fail to give me an orientation session thereby no cleaning or replaced linens the first 6 days. Otherwise staff was Great!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Excellently maintained. However, going to the 5th floor was a lost cause . After the elevator, after confusion, a staff had us go all the way to the back of the ship for service area.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfort & Size was fine. Cabin was clean after 6 days.

Ship tip

Be aware that the Italians do it much differently than other cruise lines.

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Not much to do. 12 bars. Needed a bridge so walkers can walk entirely around the small island. No excursions. Prices high.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Three days at sea was too much. Only about 4 hours that we were there. Not worth stopping at this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by orientation and three room stewards and the room wasn't clean until day 6 they're a good and bad reviews for Royal Caribbean carnival celebrity Disney and also MSC but your cruise is what you make it

You're right, it's an Italian cruise line and very much different. But overall I like MSC for the international passengers and only on their cruises outside the USA and Caribbean. Thanks for your review.
