This was our 8th cruise but the first on MSC. Have to say I was disappointed. The first thing that was upsetting was that to cash in your US American Express travelers checks to play in the casino, they charge 3%. I told them none of the other lines we/ve been on do that. Answer: thats how its done in Europe" "Its the home office policy." They sure don't warn you on this when you book with them.

Food, while not as bad as advertised on Cruise critic by previous cruisers, it does not meet the standards of Carnival or Norwegian which we have cruised often. Waiters were great, but service from kitchen is SLOW SLOW!

In the casino on 2nd day out, asked for instruction sheets on some games I've never played before(ex. Texas Hold-em) and they said they were out. THEY HAD NONE even tho we had just left Ft. Lauderdale a few days before. I understand they have a print shop on board so why didn't they print some new ones up or even make copies of the "last ones" before they gave out?? Read more
