I was hesitant to write a review after reading some of the comments in these threads- but since I think I have a unique perspective, here it goes:
This is my 6th cruise, 1st on MSC. I traveled with my spouse, our 2 children (3 and 10 yrs old) and my in-laws. Overall I liked this cruise. The entertainment was good, the food was mostly very good (especially if you like seafood, but don't order the steak) cabin was pretty much as I expected and the kids' clubs were excellent. I blame my TA (or MSC for not educating the major TAs?) for not informing me of/ allowing me to take advantage pre booking restaurants/drink packages (now I know better). I am disappointed that our stop to Stirrup Cay was cancelled - 5 days at sea out of a 7 day cruise are one or two too many.
a number of things I'd like to see improvement on:
cabin was very nice - initially I missed not having "towel animals" and cadies on my pillow - but I got over that quickly- different culture and all that . Always clean, attendant was always pleasant. My wife says she misses conditioner but other that that no complaints
