Inspired by Sophia Loren, MSC Divina brings you all the elegance and glamour of the golden age of cruise lines, enhanced by modern, eco-friendly technology. On board you’ll find every modern comfort, along with a variety of sports and leisure facilities as well as world-class entertainment, including kids’ and teens’ clubs to ensure everyone’s happy. Also, MSC Divina is one of the ships that sail to our exclusive Bahamian destination Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
We just came back from a 4 night cruise in the Bahamas on MSC Divina and while I was hesitant to book with them after seeing so many reviews, my wife and I decided to take a last minute trip. The price could not be beat and I figured it was the best time to try it for ourselves. As with everything else in life, I feel like you have to manage your expectations to what you pay for when you book a trip. Just like I wouldn't expect a 5-star experience in a 3-star resort, I went in this cruise expecting a 3-4 stars sailing as it's in line with the price I paid. I am happy to say that I rather than a 3-star experience, I got a 4.5 stars and I have not cruised before where I got so much value for my money. The ship is in great condition, but it's also 13 years old. Are there scratches on some furniture? yes. Was there a drawer front broken in my cabin, yes. Still, I don't see how that has such a negative impact on anyone's trip. I didn't spend my time in my cabin looking at the broken drawer front. I have sailed on other older ships with just the same amount of visual reminders of their age and yet they still cost twice the price. Matter of fact, outside of the room, the ship is in such great condition that it's hard to believe she's 13 years old. Dirty windows? Yes, some of them were, but I also saw some crew cleaning them so they must be on rotation. This was also our first time choosing an interior cabin and we had no problems with it whatsoever. It was spacious enough, had all the storage we could ask for and even though it was in the front of the ship, it was easily accessible. The ship has an amazing atrium that goes all the way up from deck 5, which is something you don't see much anymore. So many bars with different vibes and colors, we never looked for a spot to sit and have a drink while listening to live music. Speaking of music, we absolutely loved the onboard entertainment. There was always some music in one spot on the ship during the evening and the pianists were incredibly talented. Food wise, the buffet was really good, lots of fruits and vegetables, cold cuts, cheese choice and delicious pizzas. Much less fried food choices than other ships I've been on and that might be why some people knock it down. I found it much easier to eat healthy on this ship than others I've been on. Mains dining room would probably be the weakest spot for food. Not that it was bad at all, it was just an honest good meal. The chicken was cooked to perfection but it lacked taste a bit. Would that be enough for me to never go back on the ship, absolutely not. Like I said, I wasn't expecting a gourmet meal and I got served a really good dinner. We tried both specialty restaurants and they were both amazing. So much so that we vent went back for an extra lunch at one of them. And don't get me started on pricing at the restaurants... It was so cheap compared to what I've experienced on other ships, it was the cherry on top. I know some people will complain about the lack of dining options but once again, this is an older ship and they all tend to have less options. Besides, MSC doesn't hide the facts about dining options, they are all listed on the website. People need to do their research before booking something and then complain about something that they could have found out long before. Service was spot on, everyone was always smiling and the only thing that I can say is that when sitting in a bar, table service was a bit slower than other cruise lines I've experienced. That being said, I never had to wait more than 3 minutes for a drink when getting up to a bar so I can just get my butt out of my chair and come back with a couple of drinks. I also paid half the price I would have paid for a similar cruise with another line so I'll gladly get my own drinks. Also of note, their private island Ocean Cay Marine Reserve is worth the trip on it's own. We were supposed to be spending two days there and ended up with just one day. Disappointing? Yes, but itinerary changes are part of any cruise you take. Very natural island, lots of pathways, clear water, sand and sun. Also all the services you could want. We didn't visit the buffet on the island since they have food trucks all over the place and we opted for that instead. Love the idea and the execution. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone lives their experience differently. As I stated at the start, it's all about expectations. I have cruised with much more luxurious lines in the past and I still absolutely loved my 4 nights on the Divina. Would I go back on an MSC cruise? Yes, tomorrow morning if I could. But more realistically, we will book something in a few months and MSC will definitely be one of our front runner.
My recent cruise on the MSC Divina was a truly enjoyable experience, and my second time sailing on this ship. From the moment I stepped onboard, I was impressed by the ship's cleanliness, just as I had been on my previous voyage. The ship, my cabin, and all the public areas were spotless, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. This commitment to cleanliness extended to our port of call at Ocean Cay, which was absolutely beautiful with pristine, clear waters – a true highlight of the trip. The staff were exceptional, demonstrating both professionalism and friendliness throughout the cruise. Their warm smiles and willingness to assist made me feel valued as a guest. A special shout-out to my cabin steward, who was always on point, ensuring my cabin remained immaculate and well-stocked. While the shows were just okay, they still provided some entertainment. However, the food in the main dining room (MDR) was a definite highlight. The meals were excellent, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. The buffet, on the other hand, could have been better in terms of variety and quality. Overall, my time on the MSC Divina was fantastic. The ship's cleanliness, the staff's professionalism and friendliness, the excellent food in the MDR, and the stunning beauty of Ocean Cay made for a memorable cruise experience. While the shows and buffet could be improved, they didn't overshadow the positive aspects of the cruise. I enjoyed my time so much that I would definitely cruise on the Divina again, and next time, I would love to book a longer itinerary. That being said, I do think there's a need for some areas of the ship to be upgraded and for the Divina to embrace more smart ship technology to enhance the overall guest experience.
