Review summary

A great value with a cabin that would cost you $4,500 on RCL for just $1,288. Ship is maxed for maximum passengers. That is why the pricing is so good. Find a way to avoid crowding getting to events early and it's a great ship.

Embarkation

People herded like cattle and very congested unless you were in the Yacht Club.

Excellent maitre d got us the table of our dreams. Excellent waiter that read our minds and knew what we wanted.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

New ship so rating is high. Hot tubs were rather cold at 95 degrees. Maybe by design to protect health compromised people

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Nice location in mid ship. Quite. One problem is that the starboard side allows smoking on deck 8 outside below us. Even being 70 feet we could smell smoke depending on wind direction. This would be even worse if we were lower. MSC seems to cater to the few smokers rather than the many non-smokers. TV channels very limited and no Fox News, just boring, bias CNN and no English speaking channels.
