This was our third cruise with MSC. We'd recently completed a 3 night cruise on Virtuosa, so when boarding The Grandiosa we already knew the ship's layout which saved time.
The ship itself is absolutely stunning. Although it's nearly identical to Virtuosa the colours are different, and in my opinion I thought overall it looked grander.
Dinning
We stayed in a balcony stateroom. Due to it's position in the ship it had a larger angled balcony that was perfect for watching the ship arrive in port. Our cabin was kept exceptionally clear throughout the 7 nights. Only downside was there were other passengers in adjacent cabins smoking on their balconies, but that's not the cruise line's fault.
