After 26 cruises on other cruise lines, my wife and I decided to try MSC for the very first time. Will not be the last............ The first surprise we received after reviewing our confirmation was, the agent up graded us from an interior to a balcony for no additional increase in price..........
The boarding and debarkation should serve as an example to other cruise lines we have sailed on. Instead of having to wait in line out side the ship until we receive clearance by customs, MSC assigns early departure guests a location inside close to to exit ramp until we are allowed to leave. Taking in to account there were upwards of 4000 passengers on board, from the time we were allowed to leave the staging area we were in the parking garage in less the 30 minutes........
The ship is very clean and all crew members were polite and hospitable.....
Excellent size......... Large balcony............ Had to remind attendant a couple of times to
bring ice........... Bathroom was large, but the shower is very small......... Not designed
for some one over six feet and 225 pounds.........
