Review summary

Great cruise, will travel MSC again. Loved the international atmosphere. And loved the YC. I do not recognize the complaints about rude fellow passengers or bad food. We met a lot of great people and did never leave the restaurant hungry.

Food and Dining

Ate mostly in the YC restaurant. Great food, good staff. Different course each night. Great desserts - especially the icecream. Had breakfast at the pool bar daily and have nothing to complain about. Had pizza in the buffet on deck 8 once - really good pizza.

Loved the cabin, a YC deluxe suite. There were plenty of store space and a large bathroom. Nice balcony as well.

Did a short excursion, where we went to “Hell”, visited the turtle thing and went to the Rum place. The excursion was very rushed.
