As a group of five (including one child) well traveled but first time cruisers, we were very excited about embarking on the spectacular looking MSC Musica.
The ship is new and nice. However, there are just so many people! The only personal space you'll get is in your own cabin. Everywhere else, it's pushing and shoving at the buffet, for a pool lounger, to dis/embark, etc.
The cabins are pokey and simply finished. Some of the fittings such as the carpet, desk top or bathroom fittings are worn or even falling apart. The balconies are nice and large enough for two people to enjoy a sun downer as the world passes by.
A bit pokey with 'plain' finishes. Some of the fittings such as the carpet, desk top and bathroom fittings were worn or falling apart. The metal ceiling panels vibrated whilst underway- previous passengers had jammed cardboard in the gaps to stop the noise! The acoustic insulation is very poor- especially to the corridor.
