Don’t Cruise on this particular ship if you have no children or dont’t like large crowds. If you like good service and attention while cruising (we do) this is not a ship for you!

Take with you a great mood and rest will be excellent

If you go to Costa Maya. Don’t miss the 7 colors lagoon in Bacaral.

This ship is huge...and it rocks, especially when moving fast out at sea. Take Bonine or some RX patches if you are prone to seasickness.

Don't do it!! One other thing that was misleading, MSC advertised a My MSC app that we could all download so that we could keep track of our group. This never worked at all! MSC knew it was taken down and would not work but never informed us. We had many times that as a group, we had to go our separate ways on the ship as we did not have wifi and therefore only had the room phones to keep in touch. Since you do not spend much time in your room, we had many times when we missed connecting up for meals and shows and other events together. This was very upsetting, not only for those with children but for myself as I ended up doing things alone a lot of the time because I could not find my group. We again rented 4 rooms, several excursions from MSC, and

Enjoying yourselves will require more effort on your part, It wasn’t a terrible experience but the cruise line could have been much better.

DO NOT GO ON THIS SHIP

Don’t expect much from the buffet. Expect a tiny room. If you are looking for good food sail on another cruise line.

Print your package information on the contract in order to get all you paid for on board.

Book in the Yacht Club

Be prepared to not be able to go through the entire ship. The whole forward section, like in all MSC ships is reserved for Yacht Club members. so you cannot really walk or jog around the ship. On each and very floor, there will be doors accessible only to members. This is disappointing.

Don't sail on MSC.... we had similar issues in the Med this past summer and would not have taken this cruise if it wasn't for prepaid airline and hotel reservations. MSC is at the bottom of my list . We have sailed on Holland America, Celebrity, Princess, NCL, RCCL, and Carnival.

Take some time to figure out the MSC for Me app. Once you figure it out, it makes it very convenient to schedule shows, book restaurants, and to track your children (if you've paid the extra fee for tracking). It is also the portal for your internet access (you receive an internet package as part of the Aurea experience, but there is no instruction sheet in your room so you have to figure it out on the app, which can be a little frustrating). I found that I used the app often throughout the day.

If you like to eat food that tastes good, go elsewhere.

Pre book everything that you want. The price doubles once onboard.
