Sail Date: Feb 2011

This was our first cruise on an MSC ship. My husband booked it because he got a good deal. We have cruised with Carnival, Princess and Royal Caribbean.

Casino: This was a huge letdown! There was only one five cent machine and two penny machines. It was also the first casino we have seen on a ship where you could pretty much get any slot machine you wanted, many times there was no one at the slot machines! We spend a lot of money in the casino, but we only spent $57 on this trip. No one was winning, thus no one was playing. We like the lower cost machines because we can play much longer for less money.

Entertainment: The entertainment was not our style. The first night was violin playing and a tenor was singing. We got up and left. Sitting through announcements in five different languages was rather annoying, and this is also heard throughout the ship when different announcements are made.

Cabin Review

The MSC Poesia needs new mattresses and new pillows. They were horrible!
