Review summary

I would like to recognize Edison, Marc and Jackie for a superior job taking care of us in the main dining room at table 917. I also want to recognize our Steward Andre for his great service and friendliness for making our stay enjoyable in room 15151.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We used the main dining room and the service was excellent. The food was good but average. We did not use the specialty restaurants since they were way to expensive. Much of what is on the specialty restaurant is included in other cruise lines for less than what MSC charges.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Amenities were nice but planned activities were appear. Too many activities were only selling opportunities for MSC

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Showa were very good. There was a some duplication within the shows that was not as entertaining as the first time seen. Overall shows were good with Star Walker being the best.

Children's Programs

We brought no young children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our Steward Andre was the beat. He was friendly and very attentive. Our main sing room staff was excellent. Edison, Marc and Jackie were fantastic. They were friendly and made us feel like royalty for a week.
