Review summary

The ship is beautiful, perhaps the nicest room we've had. The YC experience was awesome. The individual treatment was above and beyond anything we've had before. The weather was not great, rained a lot and very humid. We typically do not cruise Bahamas in June, and we won't do that again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We upgraded to Yacht Club, the experience for embarkation was incredible

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The Yacht Club food was exceptional, the beef was all prime. We tried the main dining room called Manhattan two times, one time the food was okay and the service exceptional, the 2nd time, the food was not good and the service was worse. I would not cruise MSC w/o the Yacht Club experience. We have cruised over 25 times with other cruise lines.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Pools and hot tubs were kept clean and very nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We like to listen to music, there is limited live music on this ship compared to others we've experienced. The main shows were better than average.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

For the most part all staff were beyond expectations, some communication issues.

Ship Quality

Thanks for the insight! However there is no way we can do the Yacht Club thing. The Main Dinning seems to coincide with others about their experience there. This is our first MSC cruise (Dec 8, 2025) and hoping the experience is enough to at least make us want to cruise MSC again. But right now, it seems it can go either way.
