MSC Divina Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Price-great! About $800pp for balcony 7 night east Carib. Highs-Entertainment (performers often met outside (pix opp)), staff friendly/helpful (shout out to cabin attendant Edy; and Capt Scala remarkable - made a welcome statement in 18 languages), embarkation early & easy, cleanest ship we've ever seen; want to buy one of those mattresses - COMFORTABLE!
Shore excursion on Grand Turks - $99pp for private beach with own beach furniture; free pina colada type drink (all you want), beer, and other; great food (Chef Carmen) pork was exceptional, but chicken was great, too; provided snorkeling and kayak equipment, and the reef was okay; transport to/from ship was totally flexible (leave any time you want). Only negative - rocks just off beach. Nice shopping area just off ship.
Lows - not enough exercise equipment; people packed the elevators, then wouldn't let people in the back get off at their floor (happened regularly - WEIRD).
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
Best cabin ever (out of 8 cruises on various lines). It overlooked the back of the ship, so we could see where we've been from our balcony. I spent more time there (table and 2 chairs) than on other balcony cruises I took, because of the amazing view. Nice to look left and right to see what we're passing through. Very roomy cabin. I felt like it was bigger than any we've had on other cruise lines.
Port Reviews
Nassau
Walking distance from port to fort and Queen Victoria Steps, plus the usual shops. Worth a 25 min walk each way to Twin Brothers if you like fish.
San Juan
Free local rides to the forts, BUT crowded streets can make the ride LONG...
