Review summary

I have been on other cruises including MSC , but this was my least favorite cruise. we are booked on 7 day cruise same ship over Thanksgiving week and I am having second thoughts about going.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Huddle masses. Slow moving lines and little children running around unattended

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room first night very mediocre and disappointing. We chose too eat at the buffets because there were more choices and variety. I really liked the carving station and choice of fresh salad and vegetables. Dessert choices were good too.

Onboard Activities

Pools were nice but crowded. Sat on deck and enjoyed ocean views.

Thank you. I’m heading to Ocean Cay. I thought that was the best part of my last MSC cruise which is why I booked again. Sorry you missed it.

I hate that you didn't get to go to Ocean Cay. That was the best part of my MSC cruise in June. It's also the only reason I would think of sailing with them again.

I never understand why people blame the cruise line for weather, unruly children and ports of call.
