Review summary

Overall MSC very nice cruise line and somewhat quiet but definitely not enough to keep busy and of course a lot of extra fees.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were able to board early which was helpful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I wish they would have had more of a selection, but the food was not terrible. Buffet is the same as all others

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
It had a lot for the kids but the show and other activities leave a lot to be desired

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The one they have was pretty good but again not enough entertainment. Not just bands with music

Children's Programs

I had teenagers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had the best wait staff for dinner and the most amazing room lady. So prompt and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the design and I thought it was very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was average, but the balcony seemed larger than other cruise ships.

Ship tip

The ship can be quiet on sea days

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Easy parking lot to get through

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

It is a beautiful port but the transportation around the island is minimal. To walk to every part of the island to enjoy it takes too long.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Lots of shopping when you get off at port

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
