From start to finish MSC exceeded all my expectations (OK well maybe not right at the start but I will explain that in a moment), I am not sure where the critical reviews come from for MSC Armonia as in my view everything was a pleasurable experience. I do think that some people just like to moan. OK be warned this is a long review, but i have tried to capture everything.
We booked a 7 night, 8 day cruise through IGLU cruises - My first bit of advice is DON'T BOOK THROUGH IGLU! complete an utter shame and disappointment, but that's for another review.
Our package was return flights and the cruise, our flights went into and out Verona even though our cruise left from Venice, we were a little disappointed with this especially as we were not informed by Iglu until 5 days prior to leaving that this was the case. Even so the transfer from Verona was efficient and easy, it took approx 1hr 30 mins to arrive at the ferry port. Our flight arrived in Verona at 1110am and we were at the port by 130pm - However we did not arrive on the ship until 1700!
Cabin 1089 - Very spacious, Comfy beds with nice pillows. Great size balcony. Nice bathroom. Plenty of storage space. A bit noisy early in the mornings being under the pool deck but earplugs helps.
