Review summary

Cruise was okay, food was mediocre in taste, quantity and selection. The ship is beautiful, but the automation(elevator and touchscreens for information) needs to improve.

It was quick and organized, but no Embarkation Photography, as the photographer left for the day

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Eat at the Main dining room and the buffet. The food in both venues was OK. The buffet had good variety but not always well made. The Main dining room was ok but food quality was mediocre

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Service from the waiters was good, but they did mix up the orders a couple of times, Room steward did a wonderful job.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship looked clean and the layout was easy to maneuver, but the touchscreens used for information did not always respond. The inside elevators can become irritating as the announced which elevator to use each time a person request a floor thru the touch screen

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was small, but the bed and couch were comfortable.. Only problem maneuvering around the sides of the be due to limited space

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Getting on and off the ship was simple

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Nice beaches, clear water. The buffet was okay but the beach and water made up for it

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Toke the early disembarkation taking our luggage with us. There was a queue line that gave you a tour of the 6th level. I think it beat a Disney line in amount of territory it covered
