Our first time sailing on MSC. We have sailed on over 30 cruises and this is the most gorgeous, beautiful ship we have ever sailed on. The embark was very easy, 20 minutes from parking lot to having a drink. The main shopping areas is beautiful you will think you are in Italy, also the ceiling changes hourly (see pictures) just gorgeous. The buffet area has outdoor sitting area on the AFT of the ship that is so peaceful. We didn't but I could have eaten all meals there. The food was also very good. Our cabin was very comfortable with alot of storage. The crew was always very friendly and helpful. The private island Ocean Cay is beautiful. We spend 30 hours at the island. So at night they had a really fun Night Beach Party with Fire Pits and music and a laser light show. Then on day two we had 5 more hours on the island. So we had two great beach days. We will cruise again on MSN very soon.
