Review summary

This was our first MSC Cruise, and we were very pleased overall. Staff was great, service was great, food was very good. The pizza was the best pizza on any cruise line ever. Period.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was a breeze. Granted, it was a lower capacity cruise due to the one day delay, but we literally arrived at the port, walked up to check in and walked onto the ship in about 10 minutes total.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The specialty dining wasn't all that special except for Hola! The main dining rooms were very good. A bit of a different cuisine, but we enjoyed the change very much.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Overall the activities were ok, but MSC did a very poor job of promoting them. We didn't know what was coming up until the morning of the day in question. No advance notice, no promotion. If we have looked at the app we wouldn't have even known it was Gala night on that day

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was exceptional! Comedian and magician were just ok, but the production shows were all amazing, and there were plenty of them!

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was beautiful and immaculate, however the design suffered from two drawbacks. First, it was very warm in many of the public areas. Second, the music venues bled sound into each other which was very distracting.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Overall very nice and roomy for an interior, however the bathroom was tiny. Shower was very small, and you literally couldn't sit on the toilet straight, you had to do it at an angle due to the sink. They could have taken a foot or two from the main cabin and enlarged the bathroom and there would have been plenty of room for both areas.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
What a beautiful island! Amazing water, plenty of bars and places to eat around the island. Drink package works on the island too!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

Disembarkation
