As for the rest of the MSC fleet, MSC Poesia is a beautiful and generally well-maintained ship. However, several minor and major flaws on our Baltic cruise made us consider another cruise line for our next tour. Here are a few examples:

MSC usually holds a very high cleaning standard, so we were surprised to see the high number of undefinable particles floating around in the lower layers of the pool - maybe we were just unlucky that day but we didn´t step in again.

Outside whirl pools would leave you with flakes of plastic all over your body - apparently a layer of paint applied to the original enamel didn´t stand up to high temperatures and kept scaling off. We stepped out of the pool and started the elaborate work of peeling off hundreds of plastic flakes.
