Review summary

I'll stick with other cruise lines due to many reasons. The food and entertainment (shows) were lacking. The layout was bad. AND NO ONE tells you how to use the elevators (to go to floors) correctly!!! Lack of information. And their app could be a lot, a lot better. It could be a great cruise line.. could be.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Luckily and accidentally we got their 1 hr. early and embarked with the 1st group. It wasn't to bad.

I have cruised on the MSC SEASCAPE and had a great time and did not have experience the issues you had, since I was having too much fun.

Other reviews of this sailing

First time with MSC and was very good

Very impressive looking ship, but the service outside the main dining room and room attendant was non existent.

First time on MSC, not sure if or when I would book with them again. There are some problems I feel like need to be worked out.
