MSC Divina Review

Additional details
MSC Divina is a beautiful ship sailing from Miami to Bahamas and Caribbean all year round. We are travel agents and took three days familiarization cruise to Nassau and Half Moon Cay. Embarkation process was very smooth and fast. Our cabin was ready and we found it much larger then we used to see on NCL ships, for example. The upper deck has two large 6 ft deep pools and one of them has retractable roof over it, plus a kids pool. There are many hot tubs around pool area as well. Many different bars around the ship serve good variety of drinks and they are reasonably priced. Two main dining rooms serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The dinner sittings are at 6 pm and 9 pm. Buffet on deck 14 also serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good size casino is on deck 6 and ready to take your donations. Main atrium stairs are decorated with Swarovski crystals. Kids club conduct various activities with children of all ages and open till 10:30 pm. It has game room with sophisticated machines and drive simulator. We did not try it but it looks very interesting. Piazza di Dogia resembles an Italian town square with bar and delicious deserts and gelato of many flavors, just like you would have it in Italy. Various performers play popular music at the piazza most of the day. There are several lounges to choose from for your late night entertainment, as well as pool parties under the stars.
Entertainment crew is highly professional. Nightly shows in the theater are superb, better then I have seen on other ships. Very elaborate costumes and decorations. No food or drinks are served before or during the performance in the theater and no ruffle tickets sale going on before it, as they do it on NCL ships. Instead, the entertainment crew interacts with the public before the show, which makes it fun and not boring to wait for the start of the show.
The company maintains the Mediterranean feel on the ship with lots of Italian flavors. Many European guests are on the ship and English is not always spoken widely. We have heard complains about some crew members have difficulties with English, but we never had any problems communicating with crew or other guests.
