Review summary

This is a relatively new ship that is absolutely beautiful. The Yacht Club experience is fantastic with a very large suite and cuisine that is superb. No need for specialty restaurants.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. Escorted embarkation being in the Yacht Club.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Yacht Club has its own dining room with chef. Absolutely superb food. Pizza is better than anything I can buy in the US. Great bar experience as well.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool and pool area is absolutely gorgeous in the Yacht Club and not busy at all! The spa is simply phenomenal.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
I found the stage shows below par. Not worth the time. The casino was decent and worthwhile compared to other ships.

Children's Programs

I did not travel with children.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
In the Yacht Club, one gets a butler to help. We hardly used him. The waiters and bar staff were alll great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
What a modern beautiful ship! Nicest ship I have been on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Large enough suite for 2. Bathroom is the size one gets in a hotel room on land - fantastic!

Ship tip

Sail in the Yacht Club if you can - worth every penny!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Typical cruise port destination - shopping, shopping and shopping.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
New island for MSC. Clean and beautiful. Being in the yacht club one gets a delicious lunch and all the drinks one can drink. Fantastic!

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Being disabled, this was a very bad experience. Takes too long.

Did both of their ships, Divina & Seaside! Both are just Beautiful! Word of advice... If your going to book with them join their frequent travelers club, them get your membership number and call back to book your Cruise, you'll get 5% off your first Cruise and get invited to the Captain's Welcome Aboard Party! Champagne and Hors d'oeuvres! They got some good deals going right now with the opening of their Private Island! I like the Seaside just a little better, but once again the ships are outstanding in Design & Beauty!

We did the yacht club on the Divina and absolutely loved the experience! MSC was by far the best cruise Line we have used before. Have booked for 2021 Europe with them.
