MSC Divina Review
Rating by category
Additional details
The MSC Diving is an absolutely beautiful ship and all of the ports of call were wonderful - if only things on the ship were as good.
Cons: 1. The food in the buffet - deck 16. The catering is for the European clientele and not for Canadians, British and American. Food is heavy and sits in pools of oil. Very difficult to find food to eat. Also noted that the food handlers did not use gloves. Passengers were not encouraged to use Purell. The buffet area was congested during the lunch - 4:00 pm hours - people were actually fighting over food, no seats available. The coffee is pathetic as is the iced tea.
2. Communication to passengers on the ship: Almost non existent except for emergency announcements that did come through to the cabin. If the cruise director was speaking, you had to open your door to hear what was being said. Not much communication from the Bridge - no information re " we are approaching the port of ....and passengers will disembark on deck .... For disembarkation we simply had to guess what deck to go to or just follow those walking down the stairs also looking for the exit.
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
The cabin was spacious - comments above re it needs a re fit - put your suitcases under the bed and you will have lots of room in the cupboard. The drawers in the cupboard were handy as were the ones in the bed side tables. The balcony was great.

Just visiting downtown Bridgetown - have been there before - unfortunately was 40 degrees and very humid - but did check the downtown out before going back to ship and air conditioning.
