Good shows, unlucky slots, too much smoking
I loved the main dining room & our waiter Agus. There was always a wide variety of foods to choose from. Buffet had limited offerings & seemed to be almost the same each day. Nice fresh fruit, desserts were good & pizza was great though.
Captain did not make himself known at at all & only made 2 announcements. Cruise director Ted was behind the scenes a lot & could have been out mingling with people & taking more of a public role.
Graham the assistant cruise director was exceptional. He was friendly, funny, & approachable & kept everyone laughing.
Casino was okay. The largest part of it was smoking, then a small no smoking area separated. All the action (table games, giveaways, slot tournament & bar) were in the smoking area. I don't smoke & it was horrible. Slots were okay, would have liked to have seen more interactive machines like Willy Wonka, Wizard of Oz etc.
Pool was pretty nice, but again, one whole side next to the pool was for smokers & was nasty.
Entertainment was good with the entertainment staff. Skipped 2 nights as it was magicians & not a fan of magic.
We had a comped interior cabin & chose to upgrade & pay a small cost to go to an oceanview. It was a great room with a large picture window. Small amount of storage though with just 2 drawers, and a small area for hanging clothes. We made it work by using magnetic hooks on the wall though for some things.
Weather wasn't good, but can't change the weather. Not sure I would be in a hurry to book with MSC again.

Fantastic cruise
Experienced our first cruise on MSC and we loved it. Norwegian Fjords. It was stunning.

Cruise was Okay- maybe bad timing on our part
This is a beautiful ship, and I did my homework before going. We bought a spa package and loved it. I believe that ALL the children in America got out of school right before we left, because the sheer number of children was astounding. It mostly caused problems in the buffet or hallways.
I felt the slot machines were very tight, and never saw anyone get a hand pay during the week. That being said, a Cruise is always what you make it- and ours was fun.
