I have started to add some photos to the reviews. Follow the link in the first post.

Hi. Thank you for your review.

I was on the MSC with you. I am thinking of doing my own review of the same cruise.

While I do agree with you about the plastic plates in the buffet restaurant. We had some good meals in both the MDR and the Buffet. Especially the freshly cooked pizzas in the buffet restaurant.

I do agree about the service for drinks most of the time we went and ordered at the bar which we didn't find too much of a problem.

You can have eggs cooked to order for breakfast in the MDR. Whatever eggs you like. Don't know if you tried the Red Velvet restaurant for Breakfast and lunch.

Was you disappointed in not going to Sir Bani Yas island?

We should have tried the main dining room for breakfast. However, after dining in there the first night we stayed away for 5 nights because of the poor service and food and noise.

We were disappointed to miss Sir Bani Yas Island. We'd booked a tour with MSC, which was refunded. I suppose that is one advantage with booking with the cruise line. Once we booked a trip up the Statue of Liberty direct which we missed as the ship was rerouted. No refund then.

In Doha we only took the shuttle, as we had not had time to prepare for there.
