Traveled with children

I just got back from the WORST cruise experience of a lifetime aboard MSC. They booked a half charter to a group called "Cruise To the Edge" that included entertainment by rock groups including heavy metal Zebra.

The ship had over 400 children on board for spring break but they CANCELLED all regular evening theatre entertainment so the charter group could have exclusive use of the theatre. The rock groups took up precious deck space, had private parties in the main lounges... we were forever wandering with nothing to do, only to find signs forbidding us entrance to this and that. 130 decibel music practically making your ears bleed even when they wouldnt let you in! No rest for the weary aboard that ship.

There was major over-crowding in the accessible areas. MSC had one of 2 pools closed off for a time and hundreds of square feet taken up by stages and speakers. In the main lounge, I saw 1/2 the dance floor taken up by rock band equipment storage. The regular library was closed and they offered one bookshelf as an alternative.
