Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Slow and unresponsive. Major language barriers. Customer service was snobbish and acted like fools.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Deck 12 smelled like mold and floors were wet.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Would score a 0 if possible. Room had grey water bubbling from floor. Customer service did not believe us. Had to take a video and bring it down stairs. No solution other than to wet vac every night and smelled like mold and bathroom water. Contacted MSC afterward for customer satisfaction it has been 3 weeks now and no response. Unexceptable and unsanitary.

The room stain, arrogant behaviour, and smells are definitely disgraceful. That is not how to get repeat business. Sorry for your experience. Hopefully, if you ever go back to sailing with MSC cruises, that you go on the Yacht club and give a review on it, too. Thank you for your review.
