It was my first time on a cruise but l tell you the experience is overwhelming, l was travelling with my sister and friends, (Girls only). We used a Greyhound Bus travelling to Durban. We arrived at the MSC Harbour very early, the embarkation process was very smooth and professional. We had enough time to take pictures freely without any pressure. The ship is so huge l didn't get to explore the whole entertaining areas but l was very impressed. l was so amazed by the crew members, they were always energetic, friendly, willing to assist. The food was great, they cater for everyone on board. The Pizza was out of this world l really enjoyed every slice. The Cabins were clean, towels are changed regularly, the shower room its a bit small but considering the strong waves, it is safer. We didn't get to go to the Island due to the bad weather, it was very disappointing. That was the whole idea of cruising in the first place. Regardless of not going to the Island the Captain and his crew had other entertainment activities planned for us. Their communication is on point. The disembarkation was on order and communicated clearly, though it was a sad feeling to realize that the journey has come to an end.
l am definitely cruising again soon, and next time l will bring along my daughter.
Ahoy......
