Review summary

Overall the cruise was "okay". But when you spend that kind of money you expect more than okay. We have been on other cruises that far surpassed MSC. Royal Caribbean had more activities, better food, and a higher level of service. MSC was a huge disappointment.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Lost a day &1/2 due to hurricane. Cruise line staff did fairly well under circumstances.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate in the main dining room & buffet only. Both were mediocre. Menu was extremely limited & food was overcooked.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Very few activities available compared to other cruises we've taken. Tried to take a walk on the outside deck but for some reason they decided to clean it on the only day we were there.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Not impressed

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The room steward was attentive. The waitstaff were fairly inexperienced but tried.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The ship design was very disjointed. It was difficult to find our way around. The common areas and room was fairly clean but there were multiple carpet stains everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was small as most ship cabins are. The bathroom layout was well thought out with multiple shelves, large sink and handheld shower head. Bed was not very comfortable. Room was clean but with carpet stains.

Ship tip

Don't go.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
Embarked & disembarked ship here. All went fairly smoothly.

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Due to hurricane our trip was cut in half & we did not visit the BahamasHurrican

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Lots of beach but not much else. They played extremely loud music all day. Could even hear on ship. Was very irritating and not relaxing.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We took our luggage ourselves rather than use their service so we disembarked when we wanted to rather than waiting for our number to be called.

Thanks for sharing. We found Ocean Cay to be relaxing when we were there. It’s been a little while maybe things have changed?

I’m amazed how two different people on the same cruise can have such different opinions. One absolutely loves it and one butchers it.
