Review summary

The staff needs more training and how to interact with people. Out of stock on even Diet Coke, wines and beers. Very difficult to get waited on. Food was not good except at Specialty Restaurants that you paid for and pricey. Cabin person terrible didn’t even meet him for a day and a half. Cater to Europeans not Americans. Rushed at dinner. Would not recommend this cruise line. No one’s first language is English and they don’t appear to like you or their job. However, met 3 outstanding people that were very helpful. Charge you $25/day for tips, really ? For what? Paid the upcharge for a balcony and it was metal so you could not see out.... what? Never said anything on our paperwork regarding this. Watch out everything is an upcharge .... No more cruises on MSC !!! Really need people skills. P.s. shows were all the same group of dancers and singers. No ‘real’ professional shows or professional comics.

Ship tip

Don’t buy the upgrade drink card because they are constantly out and terribly difficult to get a drink due to staff so you will never spend it all
