Review summary

I did not like this ship or the food. Disappointing for sure - feel like it was money wasted!!! Pools were small and not enough deck area for sunbathing! Poor Pool design. Bridge of Sighs was unique - enjoyed that! Also liked the ship map on My MSC app.

Ship tip

It is TOO big and NOT organized ~ pick another ship. MSA Divina would be a better choice

We were on the same cruise, our first with MSC and felt similar. Didn't really like the layout and food was not at all what we expected. Dinner service in dinning room was rushed and food was a bit bland. Headed back to Royal next month. Would try a different cruise with MSC. Still had a great time.
