Embarkation was relatively swift and as MSC hadn't finished setting up the photographer, we didn't have a photo taken which was a bit if a shame. Later on in the cruise, when we were herded through the gallery (other routes were deliberately blocked off to ensure you went through!!), there were no prices displayed and 5 members of staff supervising. We think this was to stop you photographing in the area!
The 'welcome' lunch was burgers, hot dogs, pizza or salad. Not great if you were a vegetarian (we are) so a salad roll was all we had until dinner. We've cruised 5 times previously and this was the worst lunch offering we have ever seen. At dinner, instead of being shown to our allocated table, we we sat at a table with 4 others, two Turkish who spoke a little German and a German couple. No effort was made to ensure guests could actually speak to each other. We asked for a glass of water and were astonished to be given a bill for bottle of water (€2.60). It took them 20 minutes to process this bill, quite astonishing and the first time ever that a cruise line flatly refused to give us a glass of water.
The cabin was small, but clean and adequate. The shower, however was tiny with a cheap plastic curtain. we are quite small but it was impossible to shower without the disgusting curtain sticking to you!!
Compact cabin with adequate storage. Bathroom small and shower tiny with cheap and nasty plastic shower curtain that sticks to you!!
No tea/coffee making facilities or complimentary bottle of water.
