Review summary
It was the best of cruises it was the worst of cruises. It is all about what you make of it. Getting on the ship was great fast quick and efficient. After we were on the ship, going to the buffet was a total nightmare in disaster. Long lines very slow bar service long lines customer service. The m s c for me app never worked. Had to replace keycards several times could not get off the ship. You do not get tissues in your rooms. They tell you to use the toilet paper. If you want tissues it's an upgraded service for a fee.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Seaside Bar
Great place to have a drink and people watch needs more staff.
Marketplace Buffet
First day was a nightmare total chaos overcrowded not enough staff. Repetitive on the same items for lunch and dinner, no variety of food. Long lines had a hard time finding a place to sit and eat
The Biscayne Bay Buffet & Pizzeria
Not open all the time a lot of times we went, it was closed.
Venchi 1878 Chocolate Bar and Venchi 1878 Gelato & Creperie
Great place if you love chocolate, this also includes the drinks. Everything is chocolate related. You cannot get specialty cocktails there or other types of beer
Miami Pool Bar
Great place to hang out have some drinks. Bar is understaffed long wait for drinks
Marketplace Bar
Needs more staff for the amount of people that are in the buffet long wait

Depending on the experience that you purchased, you may or may not receive room service. Everything is for a fee.

The food In the restaurant it's a lot better than the buffet's a little bit better selection
