Went on 28 June, Beautiful ship, Yes it's noisy in buffet Restraunt, but doesn't spoil your cruise. Food in buffet was fine, but some food such as Chilli, and Pizzas which had bacon, meat was all day, but you can just get something else, but MSC need to take note. Main Restraunt was lovely, you where made too feel special and looked after well. Food choice was about 6 dishes or they would make you something, on request. West end style shows each evening which are free. We had Inside cabin for our first cruise beautiful and room service fantastic staff work hard throughout the ship, long hours, some looked tired, as they work 7 days a week 12 hour days, so give them some understanding and respect. I took a normal 2 piece suite, shirt and tie, but as long as your smart for the main restaraunt you'll be fine. Trips from ship sent really long enough i.e Pompeii, which was only 1.20 mins as we also went to Sorrento, so bear that in mind when planning your trips. Porta Fino is a must go trip. Where going on the same ship beginning of March to Dubai, so it must be good. P.S plenty of sun loungers with plenty of room, but the pool area is a busy place.

Beautiful ship but too big for us. Expensive as everything has a price attached. Unfortunately we have sailed with Cunard so comparing all the time. Meal times were a nightmare in the buffet and noise levels were deafening. The eating habits of other passengers were at times revolting so we chose to use the restaurant on deck 5 for breakfast and lunch when possible. It was cheaper to use taxi in port than use the excursion voucher left in the room each night. Staff were lovely and bar service was good. Cabin had minimal storage although cases did go under the bed. Tight in the bathroom if 2 if you in there. Lots of hot water. Would choose a smaller ship in future.
