The reason we chose the MSC Poesia was to fit the the schedule of our family. Eight of us. Daughter her husband and four grandchildren.
This was our third Mediterranean cruse. Norwegian Epic and Carnival Vista were the first two. First of all the Poesia is a beautiful ship. If it had only been my wife and I it would have been OK. My family is used to Carnival. Lots of kids activities, soft serve ice cream machine ect. The Poesia only had water in the buffet and gelato for purchase. The food was very bland. Lots of pasta. Hamburgers were prefab bad.
Pool activities were not to good. No water slides. We really never knew who the cruise director was.
