It was a bit too crowded for us to enjoy it to the full.
However the ship was clean. It had a good variety of food and plenty of it.
Staff were wonderful.
Our cabin was 9115. Raymond was brilliant always to hand to help with a smile on his face.
Our diner table was 485 and our waiter was also brilliant. By the end of the trip it was as though he knew us personally.
If we travel again with MSC it would have to be a quieter time of year.
We did not have a drinks package. Drinks were overpriced with or without a package.

No matter however you want to spend your stay, Santos has you covered and you’re sure to remember your time here fondly.
Once where the world’s coffee prices were dictated, this museum to the popular caffeinated beverage is an experience that takes you right from the cultivation of the coffee beans themselves to the consolidation of coffee as one of Brazil’s national symbols.

A small antique church in the heart of Santos, this magnificent structure is considered one of the finest examples of 18th century Baroque architecture in the city; while the original chapel was built in 1691, and the church itself was first built in 1640, the building we see today is adorned with tiled murals from the 1930s. With the church being partly demolished in 1859 to make room for the construction of the Santos-Jundiai railway line, the survival of the statue of Saint Anthony on the altar is considered a miracle – which, in turn, prevented the full demolition of the church.

As Southampton’s most important historic building, this restored home holds over 800 years of history after having numerous owners. Now a museum, it showcases many artefacts once belonging to past residents of Southampton, as well as a Tudor House Café.
