Sail date: September 23, 2011

Ship: MSC Splendida

Cabin type: Balcony

Review summary

physically the ship is ok, because of its size it is iherently difficult to move around in. Lift lines back up for hour or so at a time, service by cabin, excursion, and bufett personnel was not very good. the additional charges for everything added up very quickly. filed lots of comments with the line
