Review summary

The ship is beautiful and clean. Since the cruise lines implemented pre-paid gratuities, the service is lacking. The worst part is I had a fall, resulting in a broken shoulder. Guest services and the physician encouraged me to disembark in a foreign country, to see a doctor, and possibly have surgery. It was evident that the ship was more concerned about their liability than me and my injury. Being a medical professional myself, I chose to stay onboard for the remainder of the cruise. I did request a wheelchair on the days at sea, as the vessel was rocking substantially, and I did not want to risk falling again. Guest services assured me that the wheelchair would be delivered to my cabin, but it never showed up. MSC should be ashamed of themselves.

Thanks for sharing. Sorry you had such a terrible fall. Your ship tip to not get injured is excellent. I will keep that in mind for my next cruise.

Why would they be worried about liability?
