Review summary

Very much enjoyed this cruise. Didn't notice many of the negative things some others were saying. Would highly recommend the photo package and the Wi-Fi package. By far the best and least expensive we've ever seen.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The best we've ever had. Half hour from curb to ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Our main dining room was the Seashore. No problems. The buffet needs to be changed up from day to day. Always the same items. Ate at the Asian Restaurant, Butcher's Cut and Ocean Cay for specialties. Ocean Cay was a bit disappointing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed all of our onboard activities. We did all the water slides, the zip line, the gym, the thermal area in the sauna, and played foosball and table tennis.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the main entertainment each night. Timeless and Peter Punk were excellent. Also enjoyed the late night comedy show called BeerProv. The theme night entertainment was fun as well.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had no staff issues. Our cabin steward was excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the new modern design. Very glitzy.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The only complaint I would list about the cabin was a small lack of storage. We bring some small extras to enhance this so we made it work.

Ship tip

Pre book everything that you want. The price doubles once onboard.

Nassau, Bahamas

Been here many times. Just okay. Didn't do an excursion.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Still some hurricane damage here. Did the kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling excursion. Very nice. MSC needs to limit the number of people on their excursions. Way too many.

St. John's, Antigua

Went to Stingray City for our excursion. Excellent and would recommend.
