I apologize if this is a long review, but I have a lot I would like to say about MSC. I am no super cruiser, but this was our 14th, so I have a little experience.
Now, to the ship itself. It is beautiful. Open spaces are well thought out and decorated very modern. It is a huge ship, but yet, you never feel overcrowded walking across the 3 lower decks Nice themes throughout and overall a 5 star boat.
Staff was for the most part very nice and did their job as well as management allowed them to. They were generally under equipped with the resources or knowledge, but worked hard to be friendly, considering they were getting complained to often. Bartenders were fine, drinks were good.
Very large extended balcony with an amazing panoramic view compared to other balconies.
We did not do an excursion this day, but went to a place called the Tiki Bikini Hut and had a great time on the beach and water. You must check this place out. 2 loungers, an umbrella, private beach, 2 coconuts being filled with unlimited drinks of varying colors all day, and some excellent jerk chicken. Bring it on!
Very little to do in Freeport. Took a cab to the straw market at Port Lucaya and hung out for a while. Small beach access, but not highly recommended
