We had a wonderful experience on the Divina. Our servers in the dining room were so fun and courteous that we only missed one night with them. They shared stories about their on board life as well a their homeland. We were I the Villa Rossi MDR and our servers were Cosme and Eric. The food choices some nights were difficult to make.
We booked a balcony Fantastica room and were pleasantly surprised by its spaciousness. We were very surprised that theroom was cleaned two times per day and the bed turned down at night - nice touch.
We did not get the drink package and were more than okay having 12 drink tickets each. We could have whatever beer we wanted and they honored the tickets for frozen drinks. I have a lot of respect for the "abuse" the bar staff took from guests. A lot of guests were so impatient and unsympathetic towards the staff that it made me very sad. I pulled a few staff aside and gave then words of encouragement. MSC does need to hire more staff.
Very spacious and clean. Lots of closet space and drawers. The room safe was very large. They're is a clothes line in the shower! The shower doors close in a way that give you more room in the bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable and they gave you a pillow menu - yes, a pillow menu.
Miami was so beautiful. A variety of neighborhoods was exciting to explore and South Beach blew me away with its vastness. The food was so fresh in restaurants and we loved the Latin vibe
Took a bus taxi to Carambola Beach and spent the day sunning and swimming. Gorgeous beach. We also swam with a turtle!
Spent the day walking around and went to a beach.
Took the water taxi to the beach and paid $20 for 2 lounge chairs, 1 umbrella and 6 beer. Strolled the board walk and had lunch. The people who run the chairs are very nice and respectful. You don't have to be rude to them just say "no thank you". If they want to help you, let them. It's their livelihood and they rely on tourism
