Review summary

Had fun with friends. Private island was awesome! They cut too many corners on service. Not flexible at all. Tried to charge us for a movie we did not watch. We will not be cruising MSC again.

Embarkation

They had an extra room key for us and couldn't fix the problem.

Was "Yes,yessed", quite abit.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Hand washing station at buffet entrance-trash can was always overflowing. You just washed your hands, now you have to touch everyone else's dirty towel.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Nothing deluxe about it. Smallest cabin ever. Smallest bathroom ever. No storage space.

Ship tip

Bring extension cord and strong magnet hooks.
