This was my first cruise
This was my first cruise, so I don’t have previous experiences to compare it with, but overall I was happy with my time on board and have shared this with family and friends. The onboard entertainment was enjoyable, although some of the acts felt a bit cheesy. I didn’t get to use certain facilities, like the sauna, which I would have loved to try, but I was under the impression that there was an additional charge until the end of the cruise. At two of the terminals, complimentary shuttle buses were available, which I later learned were actually organized by the city authorities rather than the cruise line. However, in Malaga, I paid £40 for a shuttle from the terminal to the city, which was arranged by MSC, and felt this was poor value. After that experience, I made sure to seek alternative transport options when going ashore. I’d also like to mention that our friends, who travelled from Glasgow to Southampton on another cruise line, were provided with a courtesy bus to the ship; it would be great if MSC could consider offering a similar service in the future.
