Entertainment

Great ship, huge! Restaurant food was good. Buffet was decent but always very busy. Bars all really good. Entertainment not as good as what I’ve seen on other MSC cruises, and some of the waiters on the outside bar could have been more friendly at times. That said, some of the passengers were a nightmare!! Well organised by Iglu from start to finish, would use again

The ship was great, there was lots to do and everyone working on it were very helpful. The shows were entertaining. The bar service could have been quicker and more organised.
