The price was right! I had never heard of MSC before seeing the deal on Travelzoo. I booked purely because of the price.

Here are my thoughts on this cruise:

Cabin Review

Fantastica Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B2

The cabin was fine. I think I prefer the layout of bed by bathroom and desk by balcony doors, but this layout was the opposite with the bed by the balcony doors. Makes it hard not to wake your sleeping mate when you wake up at 6 am and want to watch the sunrise. The shower was TINY but my husky husband made it work. If you stand at an angle, facing the shower head, you have just enough elbow room to lather up.

Port Reviews

St. Maarten

Storm damage is still evident. I was not feeling well so we did not do much.

San Juan

Loved San Juan!!! I want to go back! Great scenery, architecture, culture, history, cobblestone streets, and AMAZING FOOD!!!!!!

Nassau

Nassau is not impressive. Next time we will book an excursion. Walking around town was neither fun nor interesting.
