MSC Poesia Review

Additional details
Let me start off by saying that my wife and I are Americans and have cruised many times and traveled throughout southern Europe before. We are not ones to complain, more or less we assume everyone is doing the best they can. But this cruise was pathetic.
Wanting to enjoy a vacation with mixed cultures, to enjoy the differences in culture and language, so we booked a 7 day western European cruise from Genoa. We never anticipated that we would be the only English only speaking Americans.
On the first day we saw that the size of the ocean view cabin was half the size as depicted in the brochure. When I inquired they said, after unbelievable miscommunication, that was the normal size for 2 people. The picture was for four people. No room cleaning that day.
Cabin Review
half the size as the pictures.
Pictured - king bed in front of window with small end tables with couch on one side and desk/table on other side, assuming bathroom as you open the door.
Reality - double single bed together in front of window with small end tables, corner shelf small corner end table on the other and small bathroom as you open the door.
And no one came to clean the room. We left the tag out to "clean the room" and the tag was turned around to "do not disturb" twice!
Port Reviews
Palermo (Sicily)
Really not that much to see here, but it is nice to get off the ship and just walk the streets and experience the Sicilian city. Really not that much to see here, but it is nice to get off the ship and just walk the streets and experience the Sicilian city.
