Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food is excellent. We dined in Marketplace and Minuetto and food was aways varied and delicious. We must mention our waiters in Minuetto. Wayan G Purdwadinata and Marmerto Tiongson. Wonderful service. Always friendly and polite. Made a beautiful arrangement with napkins which sadly we couldn't keep but the next day made one in paper that we could . We have packed it carefully to take home. Thanks to both of them. A credit to MSC x The few negatives. No COVID restrictions at all even on excursions. The excursion we had to Copenhagen was rubbish. Tour guide didnt speak much or engage. Meals interrupted by crew trying to push shows and events. On the whole we had a wonderful time.
