Try eating outside your comfort zone, like seafood, and don’t go to the buffet every day. Get some Italian coffee and pizza

Make sure you understand the vast difference between the Yacht Club and the rest of the ship!

Make sure your room is not close to the atrium, unless you like to party late.

My cousins were in the Yacht Club area, and had an amazing food and service experience. If you choose MSC you’ll be disappointed unless you pay extra for specialty restaurants or sign up for the Yacht Club. Anything else and you’ll feel like the poor have-nots people

Get to the buffet early. The lines are extremely long, and the food runs out quickly before they are able to replace. If you travel with children, I noticed they had their own little food section . That for me was very nice.

Get the speciality dinning package because the feee food is horrible and some things were inedible

If you're use to the other main stay cruise companies like Carnival or Royal Caribbean MSC will seem different and at times frustrating. I suggest staying with the companies you know and like.

I wouldn't go at holiday time, too busy. Definitely get the Aurea package, best bang for your buck really.

Avoid this ship.

Pay attention to app and flyer on your bed. Rarely, do they make announcements. All the port days we didn’t know we had been cleared to exit ship u til we saw people walking outside.

Be prepared to take steps. They have a ice cream machine but it's only open couple days so be prepared to buy the Gelato. Remember to bring your own beach towel to the pool, they do not provide down there, you can exchange only but you can not get one.

Don't have a high hope about everything.

Don't get the drink package

It’s a cheap ( less expensive ) for a reason. If you go enjoy it for you paid , it’s not a A trip but a C trip. Don’t get angry just keep in mind you got away cheap for a week. If you want good service and better food take a different line. ✌️🙏🏻

Don't sail with MSC

I would book another cruise line. The staff didn’t care about any of the issues. No one tries to make the situation better.

Don't go

Avoid MSC. Much better cruising options available for the same amount of money.

Tip in cash. Most of the staff do not deserve to be over tipped. The few great ones that made us feel welcome we made sure to take care of in gratuity at our choice. Also, this ship was ridiculously hot everywhere. Dress accordingly.

You pay for what you get! If you don't care about the quality of the food or service, than this is the cruise line for you.
