Review summary

My very first 2 cruises were on Carnival, followed by 17 with Royal Caribbean and the this cruise… which has to be my less favorite. I didn’t like anything about this cruise. Constant long lines everywhere, horrible food, the private island didn’t have adequate chairs and umbrellas and of course, long lines for the only one buffet they have and long waits at bars. This company fails to comparison. If you want a cheap, substandard cruise, be my guest. That was a first and last.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room’s look and feel is comfortable however, I don’t think there’s adequate storage. This room’s closet was also broken and didn’t open fully. The fridge (mini bar) was locked, couldn’t use the fridge to put my champagne in. I also booked this room with the thought there was a jacuzzi on the deck, there was not, but there was one on the room next door (which was the same category and the reason I booked the room). MSC doesn’t supply wash clothes or hand soap. If you cruise other companies, don’t be surprised by this. The A/C worked properly.

Ship tip

If you have sailed Royal or Virgin before, you probably won’t like this company. Just my opinion..

I really don’t like that this company doesn’t have adequate lounge/beach chairs and umbrellas. Constant long lines on ship and on island for food and drinks. Total let down…
