Review summary

This is probably ok for a middle class cruise. Know what you are getting. MSC will nickle and dime you for everything all week disturbing you with more selling.

Ship tip

It's not a luxury level and it's more like Party ship than a relaxed laid back cruise.

This ship is NOT a party ship by any means whatsoever....... we found it to one of the most calm relaxing ships we’ve ever been on with class. We usually travel carnival and Norwegian so we know party ships. Guess I sailed on the wrong seaside 🤷🏻‍♀️
