Our MSC cruise was great!   1 , SA, Australia, Jul 2024
Overall the service was excellent and staff on the cruise were friendly and helpful. Food service not too bad, entertainment was great and we loved the way we got dropped off at each port to explore different cities and countries. My favorite part of each day was watching sunset on the deck until the sun went down and then sitting in the lounge, sipping ...read more cocktails and listening to music every evening. ❤️ Thank you for all your help to make our holiday special and memorable.
