This was our first (and last) cruise on the MSC Cruise line. We left a day early and had flight delays so did not arrive in Miami until 6 PM instead of 1:30 PM. We stayed at the Best Western which had an airport shuttle and arranged a shuttle to the cruise port.
We had booked a Yacht Club cabin # 12025 and that is the only thing that made our cruise bearable at all. I probably would never get my husband to take another cruise except for that.
The ship itself is beautiful with very classy interior design and who can say enough about the crystal staircases! Lots of marble, mirrors, and statues. This ship does not have a giant TV screen in the atrium. The pools were very nice and one had a retractable roof which was handy if it rained.
Cabin was not very large. The same size as regular balcony cabins except you had a walk-in closet with lots of storage and a bathtub. The balcony was very small with two chairs that had low backs so you could not sit back comfortably. Very comfortable bed. Small TV set. Quiet cabin, no noises from ship. Two outlets and hairdryer in desk drawer. Sofa and small table. Carpet should have been cleaned; several stains.
