This was my families first cruise and in preparation, we had read many of the negative reviews about MSC and the Orchestra ship. Since this was our first cruise, we had no other comparisons other than family members who were on the ship with us.
The reasons we chose this cruise.
1. Price - This cruise was priced lower than most comparable cruise lines with similar agenda's for a 7 night cruise. 2. Kids were free on these cruise. As we had 5 children in our party, the kids go free was a huge impact on our families decision to use MSC. 3. Under 6 month rule for children. One of the children in our group was under 6 months. Most cruise lines do not allow children of this age. Disney and MSC are the only exceptions.
