MSC Poesia Review

Additional details
First off I want to say that a lot of the negatives I read about MSC on cruise critic I never experienced.
The crew was very friendly and I thought the food was good. Sometimes it was even great but never was it as terrible as I have read about.
I also want to say that I also didn't feel the same way as those who rave about how beautiful and clean the ship was or how great the shows were. I found the ship to be clean but no more so then the other cruise ships I have been on.And the shows were good, mostly circus like with gymnast and juggling but towards the end of the cruise they were already recycling the shows. The same acts that "wowed" me when I first saw it they were repeating , just in different outfits and different music.
Cabin Review
We had a cat 12 balcony suite. It was comfortable. It had a nice spacious closet.The balcony was a nice size but not huge.The bathroom has a tub and is a reasonable size.
The beds were uncomfortable. I could feel the bars between the beds that separated me and my husband. The pull out couch that my daughter slept on was so uncomfortable she ended up sleeping on the bed not pulled out.
My husband is 6'2" and his feet hung over the bed. I asked my steward if there was something he could do such as additional padding and he said no. So while it wasn't the worse bed I have ever slept on I cant recall on any other cruise experiencing anything like it. I usually sleep so well at sea and none of us slept well on the Poesia.
