My husband and I have cruised four times with MSC: twice each on MSC Poesia and MSC DIvina. This review comes from the perspective of being a non-drinker, non-smoker, and non-gambler. We are senior citizens who simply love being on the sea, exploring familiar ports, enjoying fabulous shows, and eating great food. We have previously cruised aboard Carnival, Norwegian, Premier, Costa, and Princess ships.

We cruised on the MSC DIvina about two years ago, and I can honestly say that the DIvina looks as new now as it did then. MSC DIvina is a beautiful, elegant ship which we loved exploring again.

We booked an interior cabin and were bumped up to a balcony. Our room was B1 balcony which overlooked deck 7 and the lifeboats. The lifeboats in no way obstructed our view but I did miss looking directly down at the passing ocean. I was worried about smoking odor because our cabin was directly above the allowed smoking section of deck 7, but this did not happen. In fact, we never noticed the odor of smoke anywhere on the ship. Our cabin was one of the few cabins that had a tub. The bathroom was bigger because of this. I also like that the closet opened up into the room instead of the narrow room hallway. Our room steward, William, did an excellent job of keeping our room nice and tidy. Our bed and pillows were very comfortable. Our room was below a lounge, and the only thing we heard was the faint sound of music at night. We rather liked having this music as we fell asleep. Our room was centrally located on the ship. We often used the quick single elevator to go directly to the Black Crab dining room or Calumet Buffet. I believe these elevators are referred to as the "secret elevators".

Took a a one way taxi to Maho and easily found a taxi back

Nassau

Walked to Fort Fincastle and Queen's Staircase. We do wish that we had taken a carriage ride tour.
