Ship Reviews

MSC is becoming more competitive with the other major cruise lines in America. This was my 6th MSC cruise, my 2nd on the Seashore. The ship is a beauty. Ocean Cay is my Zen place. We take inflatable rafts and float. This was the first time we sailed as Aurea cIass. The biggest difference between Fantastica Balcony and Aurea extended balcony was the SIZE of the balcony. It was almost as large as the stateroom. We were in an extended balcony cabin that has 2 lounge chairs, 2 regular chairs and a footstool. It was great on shady days with a breeze. Note that other cabins on decks 10-15 could see most of our balcony except right by the door, and there was a cleaning track right outside the plexi-glass so not a direct sea view, with a slight obstruction. Nonetheless we enjoyed the extra space. Aurea also has a dedicated area on deck 19 with more loungers, a bar, and some canopies. We only used that area once. Area guests can use the thermal suite in the spa but only on sea days and only with an appointment. We made appointments on day 1. I enjoyed the salt room and whirlpool the most, The stateroom was basically the same as a Fantistca balcony, but we were given a welcome bottle of champagne, chocolates, a diffuser, and MSC sling bags during our stay. There were white robes to use and disposable slippers as well. Aurea has a dedicated dining room (5th Avenue) with flex time dining, which we loved. We noted the same top notch service in the dining room each night. We also enjoyed the Brooklyn Lounge which served specialty coffees and bar drinks, with live performers at night. The entertainment in the theater was very good with talented singers and dancers and a good comedian. TIP: You should reserve your spots for shows on the MSC for Me app on day one as they book up quickly with almost 5000 people on the ship. We also had the deluxe drink package and 2 devices on wi-fi. There were a couple changes I noticed and didn't particularly like. I love the homemade Sangria they make but they excluded it from my deluxe drink package so if I wanted it, it was $11 per glass. They also excluded Limoncello shots, also $11 each. WHY? If my drink package is good for any drink up to $16...except those? Made no sense. Can you tell I was disappointed?...and no, I would not pay extra for them with a drink package in place. In the HOLA Cantina, (deck 8) you could get any of the 3 flavors of frozen margaritas --- up to $16. This was a flip from last time when you could only get the lime flavor. They have them spinning in machines like an ICEE machine, and add the alcohol. Spoiler alert, lime is by far the best. I tipped our cabin steward cash on day 1 to get some extra pillows and 4 towels and washcloths daily. I also asked him to fill the ice bucket at night. He did a decent job with the room but was hit and miss on ice unless you left him a note each night. The deck 8 adult pool is only 2-3 feet deep and has loungers in the pool that you can sit on in the water. I loved that. A year ago they had dueling pianos, this time they did not...also a bummer. Overall it was a nice get-away for my husband and I. Yes I would sail MSC again for price and itinerary.

Embarkation is smooth. Disembarkation smooth. Ocean Cay nice Dining options are just the Buffett and main dining room. Specialty dining was good. Parties epic Shows are right up there with Norwegian. The ship is beautiful. It has a dis jointed layout. We found it hard to navigate. The bathroom in our cabin is small. We booked the Bella experience. We would do MSC again. The price was great for a 7 day cruise. The staff is very helpful and nice. The island is nice. Pretty impressive to see what they built it from. They should have more dining options other than the Buffett. It has long lines and it’s confusing to follow. The parties are not to be missed. There is no drinks allowed in the pools or whirlpools. You have to get out of the pools to get a drink at the bar. The steakhouse was just ok. The Teppanyaki was great. The even number cabins are port side and the odd are starboard. The VENCHI chocolate is so good. We would cruise MSC again. Once they figure out the American market they will off great value.

I went into this cruise with pretty low expectations after reading lots of reviews. We decided to book anyway because of the low price. I tried to mentally prepare myself for bad food, bad shows, bad service, etc. I'm happy to report that the reality was very different than what I was expecting. My experience was overwhelmingly positive, albeit with a few suggestions MSC could implement to improve. Embarkation was easy. We entered most of our information online before the cruise, which really sped up the process. Their app could use some improvements, but it got the job done. The ship itself is beautiful and very clean. I am used to the layout of Royal Caribbean ships and this was very different. The design is more choppy, with more of an emphasis on small, tucked away spaces. The downside of this is that some locations are difficult to navigate. The upside is that lots of small venues helps to hide the actual number of people onboard. While initially confusing, I was able to find my way around after a few days. The design and decor is very modern and upscale. The ship never really felt that crowded despite being at max capacity. We always found chairs by the pool even on sea days. Our cabin was a balcony on deck 13. The cabin and bathroom's size seemed about average. The design was nice and there was lots of storage. I like that MSC lets you drop off your carry-on luggage even if the cabin is not ready. We did have a couple of issues we noticed- our safe did not work/gave an error message and one of the duvets was stained. We called guest services and they fixed both right away. The beds were firm but comfortable and the a/c worked well. The one area for improvement we noticed is that it seemed like there was a towel shortage on board. Some days we would receive a full set of towels for each person, another day we were missing hand towels, another day no washcloths. It seemed like this improved as the cruise went on. The cabins seemed like they were very well-insulated. We never heard anything from our noisy neighbors. The food was good and very comparable to other cruise lines. We enjoyed both the buffet and main dining room. One suggestion for MSC Seashore in the buffet- there were plenty of tables but getting them cleared of dirty dishes seemed to take some time. Having more staff in the buffet would help with availability of tables. The pizza was the best I've had on a cruise. The shows were excellent. They have a very talented cast and I liked that the shows were not dated like some on other cruise lines. You can tell that MSC has devoted a lot of resources to having good shows on this ship. The only show that was just ok was the comedian. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The dining room staff, bartenders, and entertainment staff were all great. No complaints or issues. Up-selling was pretty minimal. We were not hassled about dining, photos, etc. nearly as much as other cruise lines. A few suggestions for improvement- -I wish they would eliminate smoking in the casino like other lines have done. -Pool towels should be picked up at the pool or water park rather than delivered to your room. It's too hard to get towels replaced. -Signage on the ship needs to be better. If you're coming down the stairs, it's difficult to figure out what deck you're on. -Dress code enforcement needs to be consistent in the dining room. Rules shouldn't be selectively enforced. One last thing to note- several reviewers commented about purchasing drinks packages, excursions, etc. over the phone and then MSC had no record of it onboard. Make sure if you call MSC you get the official phone number from the website or you'll end up talking to a scammer! Search engines will give you scam phone numbers! It happened to us but we realized our mistake before any money was lost. Overall we were extremely satisfied with MSC and the Seashore. We will definitely sail with them again.
