There are growing pains -and then there is bone-deep hell. This was our first MSC cruise and probably our last. In all of our cruising, we have never seen a cruise ship filled with so many pi**ed off customers. I'll list the pros and cons for easy reading:
Cons:
1) Long elevator waits/multiple elevators consistently not working
The cabin had several pillows to choose from of differing firmness. Our cabin attendant was excellent. Good storage and layout.
We were in Barcelona for a few days before the cruise. We recommend visiting Montserrat if you have the time. Just off the Ramblas you can find some delicous food choices.
Besides the extremely hot weather, there wasn't anything to see here. Lots of people coming up to you offering to sell you all manner of things. Best to just skip it.
