Review summary

Given the frequent negative reviews about MSC, I was not expecting a lot. However, I was pleasantly surprised and had a lovely cruise on the Virtuosa. The service was fantastic with most staff going above and beyond, exception being the casino bar staff. The food was pretty decent with plenty of options. There were issues with overcrowding and excessive queues to get off the ship but overall, I had an unexpectedly good time.
