If you have booked a Fantastic or Bella they no longer have any drink coupons as they have changed to a per day drink package so unless you drink a lot it won't be worth it, as the least expensive package is $34+ per day. Also for these two bookings there is now a $3.50 + delivery fee for coffee in the morning. I did complain and was able to get three of the charges taken off since it is not anywhere on the site of on any of the paperwork in the cabin. I will be sending an email to MSC headquarters about this.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Had very good service from every one, Yet will say they need to add more staff in the main dining room because there are definitely times when due to the waiters having so many tables it can and does take time to serve everyone.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
layout is nice, easy to get around.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Overall comfort, size and cleanliness was good. To help with making it feel bigger we have the beds separated so the room is between the beds and not along the wall. The closet size is adequate but not enough hangers so I have bought folding travel hangers and use them, there are only two drawers to put non hanging items, so I also brought a laundry bag to put dirty clothes in . Also we did not have a box of tissue and when we asked the cabin steward he said he would try but had found that they were really no longer available.

We got there at 5 pm so we only got off to go to Walgreen's and CVS and had a drink at a bar next to Walgreen's, which was a nice small bar that is part of the Sheraton Hotel. We have been to San Juan a few times and decided we did not find any excursions that we wanted to do.
It has been a few years since we have been to St Thomas so we took a taxi in to town and walked around. We saw that due to the past hurricanes a number of shops have closed. but it was still nice.
