Review summary

Stay away from MSC or atleast any of their ships coming out of England. The cruise director summed it up the first night/show: this is a British ship and if you don’t have British tastes you’re on the wrong boat.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was atrocious. I’ve never had such bad food in my life. Main dining, buffet, and specialty restaurants all awful.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There was no entertainment; essentially one show a day 30 minutes long and always 10 minutes at start of show upselling
