http://www.cruisereviews4u.com/ 195-172 http://www.cruisereviews4u.com/cruise-reviews/msc/msc-magnifica.html The Magnifica is a new ship so we were surprised to see some bad reviews from people. I don't think they sailed on the Magnifica because it is a beautiful ship and everything is still new. The cabin has a comfy bed and though the room is small we had no problem storing all our things. If you are using the sofa bed it definitely uses up a lot of room. Though we were rarely in our room. The food was okay but we have had better on other cruise lines. The dinners were more Italian in flavour but there was a lot of choice and we always found something that we liked. The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. Activities are like any other cruise line with lots of things going on that you can take part in. One complaint I would have is the smoking onboard. Having more Europeans I found smoking everywhere even in nonsmoking areas. None of the staff enforced the no smoking so some rooms you entered you saw a smoke fog. In total for the price we paid we had a wonderful cruise and we wouldn't have a problem sailing on the MSC Magnifica. ]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 18:29:54 -0500
