Myself, my husband and my son - balcony cabin. The extra space was good, however, the sofa bed was against the dresser, which had a stool underneath, therefore unable to sit at it to dry my hair etc. I had to sit on a cushion on the metal frame of the bed. The sockets for plugs were so low down - almost against the dresser, my plugs (being European and American) didn't fit. We had to hire an extension cable from reception - $30, which was refunded on leaving. These were the only sockets, so charging 3 phones and using hairstyler, wasn't great. The entertainment was good but no Broadway type shows compared to other cruiselines . Lovely lounge and bar areas and singers, musicians etc were all good and always something going on. Outside entertainment really good. Deck parties really good. Silent disco was great. The main dining room menu was fine, but a bit repetitive and the meat was sometimes fatty and I had to return a few mains as they were cold. Service was slow but staff very nice and helpful. Used the buffet more. Had a great holiday - islands were all lovely. Stunning beaches. Would sail with MSC again, but on a newer ship.
