Review summary

It was an OK experience...I cruised on MSC previously and it was very good which is which I selected them fr this trip. But I will not cruise with them in the future.

Embarkation

Good

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

MSC now charges for soft drinks-juices, sodas. Juice is only available free at breakfast. The food in the general buffet decks 8 and 16 are very limited and we're not well prepared. One of the days the rice was very stale and should not have been out for consumption. They charge for ironing all clothes. While I selected the 9pm dining time for the Silver Dolfin restaurant I was given 6pm and could not change it. That was very disappointing. There was no cool air in the elevators which make each ride hot and uncomfortable. Also only one elevator worked most of the times so there was always a long wait and crowded elevators.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The fitness center was good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The nighly theater shows were one of the best activities. The DJ was good for the main entertainment buy some more diversity in music would have been good.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Cabin attendance was courteous and attentive.

4 out of 5
