I chose this trip primarily for my kids as they have not been on a cruise before. It was a bit disappointing as they didn't enjoy the kids club as much as I'd hope. Whenever we popped in to the respective rooms, it was unoccupied and the entertainment areas didn't offer that much. The cabin was comfortable however because there is back to back embarking/disembarkation happening hence, the cabin wasn't cleaned properly. The toilet reeked of urine. Thoroughly enjoyed the adult entertainment/musicians but find that the ship was too full and that became unpleasant in that service was mediocre. The dining was great, really enjoyed the waters from Indonesia, very pleasant.There should be a better way to embark as standing in a long q for hours is most frustrating, especially in the heat. I enjoyed my first MSC Symphony cruise to Portuguese islands so much more than this one. There were too many people and it has kinda lost it's "exclusivity". I would definitely not consider a local cruise, perhaps a further destination sometime ..
