Review summary

Except that the front area of the ship is off-limits bothered me to no end. I had a great time in 5 ships (RC, NCL, Carnival) walking one end of the ship to the other including the solarium. No more MSC for me and shall miss the wonderful food it offered. Lots of other ships around to explore.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Be prepared for Titanic like experience Rich vs Peasents. Front part of the ship are reserved for rich folks. RC, NCL have solarium at the front for all group of people but MSC blocks it only for the elite. That's one thing that would prevent me from sailing MSC again.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Balcony cabin similar to the one you see in RC NCL Carnival. Nothing different.

Ship tip

Front area blocked for High $$$ payers. Good food n good service thou.

Outstanding, fantastic, beautiful, awesome island. Walked every part of it n loved the scenery n beautiful blue ocean breeze. If you enjoy walking then the evenings are the best time. One of the best islands I visited. Good memories of it.

MSC cruises strikes again. It's not also a great experience on those ships. I'm wondering if the Yacht club is better. Thank you for your review.

I could not agree more the way these cruise ships are going you pay full fare the fare they requested ,and then when you go on the ship your restricted from going into different areas. The first few rows of the showrooms are reserved if they want to be luxury lines charge more make the whole ship a luxury ship otherwise don't charge people a posted cruise Fare and then block them from areas of the ship and from the first choice on some items
