Our introduction to boarding the cruise was horrendous. We’ve been on many cruises, we have never had the ridiculous lines to board as we did for this cruise. The lines didn’t end there. EVERYTHING we did on this cruise was lead by a long, seemingly endless line. We honestly felt like cattle being herded. The food in the dining room was very good. However, the food on the buffet was not. Our stateroom was wonderful and service was good as was the entertainment. We typically cruise on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean or Princess. We wanted to give MSC a try for more variety, however, if we were to base this cruise for future cruising with MSC, it would not be our first choice. I have to add that we met and spent time with several couples. After finding out that they all paid HUNDREDS of dollars less than we did, only added to our disappointment
