Poor service, poor crew, poor food, and poor attitude on a dirty ship!

Having sailed with MSC before with little problem we chose this cruise round the Caribbean to 'fill some gaps' in the list of islands we hadn't visited.
Firstly let me say that due to Hurricane Irma the cruise was altered to be in Cozumel for 2-3 days instead of Havana, and i have no gripes there. Safety first, after all!
To the cruise.................................
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
Cabin B1
Nothing wrong with the cabin at all, except for wheezy air movement system (i cant call it air conditioning because even on lowest temp it couldn't cool a hot drink), simply awful, and never improved despite complaints during the voyage.
Very clean cabin, and kudos to our room guy who was amply tipped at the end of the cruise.Top guy!
Port Reviews
Havana
Too expensive to do a ships tour and the city is easily walkable form the ship!
Montego Bay
Take a Taxi to Dunns River Falls, and get him to drop you at the Hard Rock in Montego Bay...... cheaper and better than the ships tours
Grand Cayman (Georgetown)
Nice but expensive, and keep away from the expensive tours as others on the quayside are cheaper, despite the overall higher price of shopping etc
Cozumel
Due to 'Irma' we were there for 4 days in today, and as the island is so small hired a crappy Jeep for buttons, rather than the ships tours. You can drive round it in an hour, and the far side is worth doing if you want down time and being your own boss.
Costa Maya
Not a lot to see unless you take a tour, and again leave the ship well alone and book with someone by the tower at the end of the jetty.
the parrot adventure for US$5 by the pool area at the end of the jetty is very good value and superb entertainment.
Belize City
again, walk through the terminal and book a trip.they are the same vehicles used by MSC but much much cheaper for the same thing.
