Sail Date: Oct 2017
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom

At the end of Hurricane season, my partner and I decided we wanted a cruise - and MSC offered a compelling option - so we took it!

We were automatically upgraded to a balcony room on Deck 13 - more of a balconette, I might add. The cabin was comfy, the balcony pretty much useless (except to let in sea air), but the cabin steward was always a bit slow - our room wasn't ready on Day 1 until after 4pm, nor were we given pool towels in the room (exchanges only are made on the pool deck). Our friends on Deck 5 didn't get a balcony, but their room was noticeably bigger and more comfy. The cabin steward was a bit slow to clean every day - sometimes nothing was touched until mid-afternoon. This I thought a bit odd.

The ship? One word - BIG and gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful artwork as well - the crystal-infused atrium stairways were spectacular.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B1

The cabin was just under the buffet on Deck 14. Noise was "mostly" not an issue, but we had a few moments where you could hear chairs moving.

The balconette is pretty much useless - but I enjoyed the fresh ocean air.

TV - it's really tiny. CNN International was probably the most-watched channel. But we don't cruise to watch TV and get depressed, right?

The room wasn't kept up as well as I would have liked by the steward, though he was always personable. I suspect they had him cleaning too many cabins and he couldn't keep up.

Port Reviews

Nassau

A lot of touts, but a beautiful walk around town and to the beach was great.

Miami

I love the Brickell area of Miami- we stayed there prior to embarking the MSC Divina.
