MSC POESIA experiences!!

[PMHCruiser]

Would appreciate hearing from those who have experienced this new ship. We are booked for the July 26th departure and wonder if the negative reviews on other sites are true. Travellers on the sister ship - MSC Musica - seem to enjoy far better experences and give beter review comments - which is surprising after the negative reviews for the Poesia.

 

How are the meals?

Any recommended restaurants?

Recommended sittings - 7:15 or 9:15 (heard the early sitting is sometimes rushed)?

Do you purchase or recommend the prepaid packages?

Can you bring duty free or other alcohol on board, do they have mini fridges in the rooms,

Any recommended trips / private guides / shopping experiences,

 

Lots of questions and appreciate all your help. Thanks

Here is the review I wrote on the maiden cruise (in April) of the Poesia.

It's a bit of a long review perhaps, but you'll find some of the answers you asked.

 

I hope you have a good cruise!
