This was our third cruise aboard the Divina, so we knew what to expect. The Showroom entertainment is as good as any, and better than most, of the 100, or so, cruises we have taken. The ship is elegant and well maintained. The cabin steward was nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. My problem with the waitstaff in the dining room is that most speak minimal english. Usually just enough to take your order, but if you have questions or complaints, that's where their language skills all but disappear. The serving sizes have become smaller and less satisfying with each cruise we have taken. This was probably our last cruise with MSC.

The lido deck buffets are a disaster. Rude passengers pushing and clawing like it's their last meal. The specialty dining at Eataly is fair at best. Plastic chairs and an ultra contemporary decor is just not what I associate with gourmet dining.

We had a wonderful shore excursion in Cozumel with Julio leading us on a snorkeling adventure of the underground caverns. This is probably not a good tour if you have claustrophobia, or don't like water. For the brave and adventurous it is spellbinding. Not to be missed, the tequila tasting at the conclusion of the swim is fantastic!

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B2

Small, but adequate. The shower is barely large enough to turn around. The room was well appointed and extremely quiet

Nice shopping just off the ship's docking area. Wouldn't go outside the gates. Two of our travel mates were accosted, and robbed, there.
