i have had a chance to read a couple of other reviews of this exact same cruise and i mostly disagree with what was said by them. all cruises have problems. none are perfect, and msc is no different. luckily i knew what to expect and i also have patience.

I personally enjoyed this cruise very much. much more than the a couple of the others i have done on so called main stream lines. the main reason is that the entertainment on this cruise ship was the best ever. their shows and the animation team were the ultimate in fun and most cruisers i talked to were delighted by this aspect of the cruise.

i have been disappointed by every cruise i have ever taken in the food department. no cruise line ever gets it right. i am a foodie and all buffets on all cruise lines are crappy. period. msc is no different. i ate most of my meals in the dining rooms. i had approdo late seating for my dining and i enjoyed excellent quick service every night. i ate breakfast and luncheon in the other dining room and most days it was fine. granted, there were language probs with the Balinese waiters on one or two occasions, but it is clear that the line is trying their best to satisfy the american cruiser. little things like the availability of cream for my coffee every day, bagels and cream cheese, show that the cruise line is making an effort to please.
