This was our first time with MSC in the yacht club, but last summer we went with NCL Epic in their Haven, so we compared: Both are very good, but very different. A summary:

Embarkation: both MSC and NCL have special care with a glass of campaign, butler to the room etc. Both 9/10

The room: the MSC executive and family room 12001 has the same size as the Norwegian family suite, but is completely different: MSC has a one bedroom suite with large windows in front of the ship, but outside the yacht club and without balcony. In NCL we liked the separate bedrooms, each with a bathroom. NCL has also a dining table, a balcony, DVD player and espresso coffee machine. MSC has 34 TV channels in all European languages, but no children programs. NCL has free movie channels but hardly any life TV. MSC: 8/10 NCL 10/10. Read more
