Overall the cruise was good. This was our 3rd MSC cruise and the first on a mid sized ship. Previous cruises were on the larger ships. Basically runs just like the bigger ones with the slightly smaller space not really noticeable .My only small complaint and it was a common comment with the others in our group was the way the dining room meals for breakfast and lunch were run. Part of your meal depending what you ordered was from a self service buffet within the dining room. This makes it rather awkward as passengers rather than just sitting down once to be served, are up and down walking around with the waiters with plates of food. I thought it smart enough to order off the menu so when sitted, I didn't have to get up. This detracts from the ambience of a dining room. If I want to get my own, Id go to the buffet on deck 13. The evening meals were excellent as was the table service.

My other comment concerns the acts on this ship. We had 11 nights and too many shows were just dance based. A bit more singing, or even for variety would have been nice. We was performed as ok, just repetitive. Same dancers, similar moves, just in different costumes and themes. I suppose its a bit of a pot luck depending who's rostered on the ship and whether its to your personal style and taste.
