I have nothing to compare this cruise to as it was our first. Our traveling companions organized the entire cruise. She said go big or go home...…….and we went big! VIP all the way. Food was delicious. Rooms were clean, immaculate, and perfect in every way. I don't think I could ever do a "normal" cruise after this one. No waiting in lines, absolutely the best crew...wait staff was on point. Butler was on his game. Shows were awesome. Food was delicious. Only thing I could say was disappointing was the bars and restaurants ran out of Moscato wine, and Clamato juice for beer. Bud light Clamado, chelada would have been fabulous, but did make due with tomato juice until they ran out of that. Otherwise, this was the most fantastic vacation I have ever been on. Better that Hawaii. Can't wait to take another cruise on MSC. Will have to check out the new ship that is due to sail in 2019.
