Lovely ship, cabin spacious and well appointed. We were not impressed with rigid dining times and having to sit with another couple every evening. We were very lucky that we git on well with them!

Found the ship very confusing with lay out - moving around the ship always seemed confusing.
Entertainment was limited - putting the main show each evening to one side, which was good. . . i found it very dull place to be. Furthermore, being at sea for 4 of the 8 days due a strike at Athens compounded it further.
The food generally was good standard and customer services dealing with question was again good.
I didnt enjoy the vacation and wont be travelling with MSC Again.

Excellent cruise. Well organised, with staff helpful and clearly knowing what to do, when and how to ensure the operations of excursions and meal times proceed smoothly. Ship very clean and common areas kept tidy and with room to move around. No hard or upsetting which we appreciated. Compared to other cruise lines MSC seem happy to simply let you get on with things without day to day hand holding and information.

Buffet food was always far too busy. Some of the “”hot” breakfast meals were only just warm sometimes.
Pizzas were always outstanding.
Limited choice and not much chicken on the menu.

Drink packages are non-transferable and cannot be shared with other guests, being valid for one drink per order. Violation of these terms may result in cancellation of a guest's package without entitlement to a refund or credit of any kind.
If you wish to dine together you must be on the same drinks package. Regardless of which drinks package you choose, a Minors Package must be purchased for all children within the travel party. For example, if you're travelling in a group of two adults and two children, both adults must be on the same package and the children on the Minors Package.
Packages are sold on a per cruise basis and not per day or any other basis. The price applies to all days of the cruise except the day of disembarkation. Once activated on board, packages cannot be cancelled or refunded. Packages must be booked by all guests occupying the same cabin, travelling together and wishing to dine at the same table. This includes minors, for whom the Minors Package must be booked.
The package is not obligatory for children under 3 years of age (i.e. who have not yet reached their third birthday). The following exclusions apply: tobacco, souvenir glasses, ice cream menus, retail items, minibar, room service, promotions and Signature Venues (Venchi 1878 , Jean-Philippe Maury venues, MSC Virtuosa Starship Club, MSC World Europa Coffee Emporium, MSC World Europa Raj Polo Tea Room) regardless of the price of drinks, cabin service and promotions. You must be of legal age to consume alcohol. Other terms and conditions may apply. Guests under the legal drinking age with respect to the ship's operating area are not permitted to purchase or consume alcohol. Drinks and liquor may be substituted according to availability and itinerary.
