Let's say it is a beautiful ship, food in the dining room(Black Crab) was great both in portion and flavor(could not figure out why the soups that should be clear were blended,gazpacho, minestrone and french onion)and cabin size very nice,clean and roomy.
I had read the reviews on other sites. We have a good 30 cruises we have been on. MSC, give it a try. We were told by a crew member 1700 were USA, 500 Can and so on for 3400 guest on board. No welcoming deck music.
The buffet is on an European selection(cold cuts,made up sandwiches, an international selection) Beef stroganoff..no noodles. Plenty of hot dogs, hamburgers and salads. We ate B,L,D in the Black Crab dining room ordering off a menu, no crowds or people rushing to get a cup of coffee.
Jerecael was great as our cabin server. Nice large room with a great balcony.
