Unless you’re in the yacht club I wouldn’t go back either.

 

From one Canary to another, please elaborate.

The new MSC ships are beautiful; and spotless. And bling. 
Their ceiling on the equivalent of the Royal Promenade has to be seen.

I find there is music every where… some just funky with a guy walking around playing the saxophone 🎷… some classical. 
Best pizza 🍕 at sea; and they have freshly made mozzarella on some ships which I can live on. 
They have adult only lounges. 
The staff aren’t in your face asking for tips or pestering for a perfect 10… 

Coffee comes with a little chocolate; drinks come with a bowl of crisps (chips) 

Their YC experience beats any suite offering; ship within a ship experience- own lounge/ own restaurant/own sun deck and pool. 
 

It’s just cool and Italian. And different. 
 

I’m on their brand new World Europa next month as RCI have abandoned the Dubai winter sun market . 

 

Seriously I'm so glad MSC got brought up on on the RCL forum! Such a great sounding cruise line!

• MSC definitely has the better itineraries in the Med and that should be given a lot of consideration. I cannot imagine accepting a lesser itinerary out of loyalty to Royal. What has already been stated about MSC is pretty on the mark. Ships are stunning and kept absolutely spotless. Service is reserved which we actually prefer. Food can be a bit hit and miss but the same can be said for Royal.
