OVERALL

This was our first cruise on MSC so we were excited to try a new company after a couple of friends had recommended them. The ship itself is nice enough but found the many staff members to be quite rude. We visited some excellent ports. Food was decent. Most shows were dreadful. We had a couple of good party nights where we could dance until late. As it was winter the indoor pool and pool area was packed with families (this is the only ship I’ve been on and not been in the pool). We decided that 4 days was enough on this ship and after that kept saying ‘MSC, not for me!’.

Cabin Review

Fantastica Inside Stateroom

Cabin I2

We had an inside cabin 12054 which was the only inside cabin available when we booked. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space to put stuff for a 7 night cruise. It was quite dark and could do with better lighting. The room was very noisy, lots of banging & knocking and could hear the family in the room next door.

Port Reviews

Barcelona

Barcelona is a fabulous city. There is much to see and do. We stayed in the Hotel Gaudi pre cruise just off La Rambla which is perfect for. We've been to the Aquarium, the musical fountains, Guell park, many Gaudi buildings, shopping, indoor markets and watched street entertainers. In the evening Boadas Cocktails is great little bar for a classic cocktail served by tuxedo wearing mixologists. The city is easy to navigate by foot and public transport. I recommend arriving at least couple days before your cruise starts to have time to explore.
