We decided to try an MSC cruise because of the itinerary and the price. We read more negative, than positive, reviews and were a little hesitant, but booked the Divina and we are very glad that we did! It was a great cruise!

We disembarked RC Allure of the Seas on January 20th and went to Terminal G to board the MSC Divina. We had to take a taxi from Terminal A to G as it would be impossible to walk as it was rainy and the area was under construction. The embarkation process started at 11:00 AM and we were at the buffet, having lunch, at 12:00. Our room was ready at 1:30 and we had our luggage by 2:00 pm. The muster drill was at 4:30, even though, departure time wasn't until 7:00 PM. Our meeting point was at the Piazza del Doge and it was chaotic. You couldn't hear because of the noise and I would have to say that it really was a waste of time. I'm so glad there wasn't a disaster at sea because the muster drill was a mess!

Room: 8150 Fantastica Ocean View - The room was of good size and it seemed wider than the room we had on the Allure. The bed was comfortable. I liked that there were a lot of drawers and shelves for storage. It is definitely in need of a refresh - carpet was old and stained. It was kept clean by our steward, Ronald, who did a fantastic job of taking care of us and our room. This room was located right at the hallway from the elevator/stairs and it was in a great location to the public areas on decks 7 & 6. We took the stairs most of the time. It was fairly quiet considering the location by the elevator/stairs. Read more
