Ignore the YouTube reviews, the food was good. Pizza was banging, burgers were bussin, lamb was tender, potatoes were crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside, and drinks were bountiful. Plenty to do on board and at port. BOOK DIRECTLY WITH MSC.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Ship is slightly confusing, main restuarant was a wee bit bland but the buffet more than covered for it.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pools, sexy. Activities, plenty. Gym, empty.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone working was amazing. Did not encounter a single waiter, bartender (bless their hearts), entertainer, etc that deminished the experience.

Very clean
