Additional details

Sail Date: Jan 2011

We sailed on the MSC Poesia from January 9th - 16th.

ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: Check In was relatively smooth once we got to the port. Before that we had an utterly horrible experience with the Roadway Inn Airport/Cruiseport hotel. I could not tell you how much I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this hotel. I am listing a comment on Trip Advisor if you are interested. We got to the port around 11:00 a.m and were ushered into seats to wait until the ship was cleared for entry. The previous cruise was a "Rock" themed cruise which we learned had a lot of drug and destruction issues that had to be dealt with before MSC could open up check in. Still we were on board around 1:00 p.m. and were able to sit the majority of our wait time in the terminal. FYI>>>> For those individuals who arrived after 12:30 p.m. the line backed up tremendously into the parking lot and we heard it was about a 2-3 hour boarding process for them. We always get to the ports early so we can get on board and start our cruise. We did self assist for Departure and were off the ship and at the airport for 8:00 a.m. Very organized!!!

SHIP: Ship was large accommodating over 3,700 passengers. Because of an UNBELIEVABLE price, we had a full ship but it never felt over crowded. The design of the ship I would say is classic. There is a large atrium but the color scheme is very subdued as compared to some other ships we had been on. The ship dEcor related to poetry and the other arts and was tastefully done. As others indicated, it is quite clean and is constantly being serviced.
