The reason for this cruise was Svalbard/Spitsbergen, North Cape, Trumso and 5 nights in the Artic so different from Miami. The Fyords and Bergen where the dessert. The lagniappe was Hamburg. Met all our expectations

Food and Dining

The one area MSC an improve on is food quality. At least its not competative with Cruise operators catering to Americans

Actually a different show every night on a 14 day cruise... They where simply amazing. Outstanding, far better than what you get from the American cruise lines, so we thought.

Cabin / Stateroom

Upgraded to a balcony. Excellent cabin, large, airy, everything as it should be, good bed, air, bathroom, closets space, safe, mini bar.

Ship tip

The Yacht Club takes away from the experience, as it limits parts of ships you can not visit, a resturant you can not use. Completely opposed to "class" of access to be able to do anything on board. Cruise lines heading in wrong way, and we will avoid these types of ships when ever possible.
