Review summary

It was a nice week, not sure I would do the itinerary again as 3 Italian ports too much for me. The msc way of new people at every port is a little strange and not something I think I like. Msc has its place and offers good value drinks package and if I get a good price I would do MSC again but if looking for luxury MSC is not going to be what i book. Its got a very European feel and people don't que or let you out of lifts.

Embarkation

From arriving at the post to being in the buffet was not even 1 hour! Fantastic experience

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Good location but not clean. Dust stuck to walls, wardrobe runner needed a good vacuum, no soap in bathroom on arrival and never topped up ( we had our own but besides the point) balcony disgusting and made worse after the weekly clean. Black hair all over it, cabin steward not friendly, asked for 1 extra pillow you would think I asked for the moon. They clean twice a day but apart from make bed and change towels he didn't do anything else. For a ship only built in 2018 the cabin was looking tired. Mattress protector all bobbles and that didn't make for a good night's sleep. Ncl beds much more comfy.

Ship tip

It's very busy and not many British people, mainly suited to an Italian Market.
