MSC Splendida - About the Ship


There were a few (VERY few) negatives for us…

Now I know I am a little wimpy when it comes to cold pool water but their pools were even to cold for my husband and son! My husband ice dives and my son will go swimming ANYTIME. My son went in the indoor pool once and we didn’t go in at all. Too cold.

Along the same lines…the hot tubs were not hot. They were warmer than the pool but we only used them once. It would have been nice after all the walking to come back to a “hot” hot tub.

The ships stores did not have a big selection of sundries and personal items that guests might forget or run out of. Only the pool shop had Band-Aids and seemed to have odd open hours. I needed some bobby pins or any kind of hair accessory and they didn’t have any.

We thought the ships photos were expensive. We didn’t remember them being that much on the Lirica but maybe they were. The actual pictures weren’t great so maybe the price stood our more.

Other than that we had a beautiful vacation and would…and will…sail with MSC again!
Some personal notes…

We realized that we didn’t drink enough beer (my husband) or eat enough ice cream to warrant purchasing the packages. We had tickets left over and probably wouldn’t buy those packages again in the future.


The entertainment…

Some was really fun and some just wasn’t out cup of tea. Others seemed to enjoy it so it might just be us…or a cultural thing. Maybe some of it wasn’t great because the ship is so new. Overall we had a great time.
