Review summary

We really enjoyed this curise, our first experience on MSC, but not our last. It had some different elements to other cruise lines, but they were not negative. Enjoyed meeting crew members and talking to them.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Waiters were friendly and always helpful. Our cabin attendant (Ram) was wonderful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is beautiful, elegantly decorated. It was easy to get to various restaurants and bars, as well as other places we wanted to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was large enough to not feel cramped. The balcony provided a good view.

Ship tip

Learn to use the elevators properly. They are computerized and you need to program a call for each person wanting to ride. Otherwise the elevator will arrive without room the the people waiting.
