Although the embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly, the collection of luggage at the baggage terminal proved to be confusing as bags were merely placed according to colour coding attached to the bags. Maybe consideration can be given to put it in number order or maybe use a carousel like at the airports.
Apart from the above, I can only commend the crew for a well organised and pleasurable cruise. the service we have received at the Il Galeone restaurant far exceeded our expectations and the food was excellent! I have to thank our dinner service waiter, Mr Sigit from Indonesia, for excellent service, far above what was expected! He is truely an excellent representative for MSC!!
The ship is clean and very well maintained throughout the cruise. We did however experience a technical difficulty which resulted in us not being able to visit Pomene which was a sincere disappointment. We spent and additional day at Portuguese islands instead.
The cabins are small but are immaculately clean and serviced twice a day, fresh towels are always available which is a plus! We stayed in an inside cabin, but I knew that it was going to be small based on the photos provided on the website.
Excursions were a bit pricey, I took my own snorkeling equipment with. Ferry to Inhaca island was $20.00 per person which would have resulted in me paying a R1000.00 just to go to Inhaca which is very expensive. The other free of charge activities include, swimmingin sea, music, different bars, volley ball, soccer. The charged excursions seemed very interesting but unfortunately just too expensive.
