Just returned from a fantastic cruise. Check-in was a breeze and friendly. I was a bit apprehensive after booking this cruise mainly because of the number of passengers and the reviews that have been posted and also that the cruise was fully booked. However all I can say is it was far better than expected. Cabin was fabulous; hairdryer, soaps shampoo, dressing gown, flat screen TV where you could check your account and also do shopping if you wanted. The only thing I would've liked is some English speaking TV programs, but you don't spend that much time in your cabin anyway so it wasn't a big problem. Food was great, we did buffet for breakfast which was really fresh and plenty to eat. Only thing was when you lined up for your coffee or tea the older ladies on the cruise pushed in (there was no organization eg a line). We had no trouble getting a table on deck or inside to have our breakfast. Lunch was the same, buffet. We had every intention to use the dining room, however never got around to it because the food at the buffet was exceptional. Dinner we dined in the dining room each evening. One night we missed our sitting because we got back from on shore too late, but they accommodated us in the next sitting. We booked one shore excursion in Tunis, however it was cancelled due to Ramadan, so the four of us hired a taxi and we saw the sights anyway. Once the excursion was cancelled it was immediately taken off our account. I did take a few evening clothes which I did not wear as most nights were casual - I only dressed up for the Captain's cocktail party. I would recommend MSC Orchestra and I would definitely travel on this ship again and hopefully it is in the near future.
