Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

First dinner was prime rib for me and it was delicious! Formal night was filet and lobster tail and that was also very good. The buffets, there are two were fine. But we eat in the dining room.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I did arts and crafts they were good. And a chefs show was ok. There was a lot for kids on top deck but I didn’t check it out.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

MSc does the best show at sea hands down. Peter Pan show amazing and Michael Jackson was good show. All shows worth the time. No problem getting7:30 show time. You can make reservations night before. App works good

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

No children but they were busy from what we observed

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Daniel from Peru in the mdr did just fine and Rene was our dining room attendant. Very good. Tip those guys for a good experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

This is a nice cabin esthetic wise but noisy until the wee hours. One deck above is pool deck where all late night parties happen. I knew it was the pool deck but didn’t realize it was nightclub central. I woul advise mid or front ship cabin

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida
