(Courtesy: MSC Cruises)

MSC Cruises has been a cruise leader for years throughout the Mediterranean and with MSC Divina now sailing the Caribbean year-round from Miami, guests will now be able to experience more of this elegantly-designed vessel. Inspired by Academy Award-winning, Italian film star Sophia Loren, the godmother of the entire MSC fleet, MSC Divina offers authentic Mediterranean-style dining, world-class entertainment and access to some of the most desirable destinations in the Caribbean.

Here are some of the recent top reviews from past guests who have cruised aboard MSC Divina.

Destination: Western Caribbean from PortMiami aboard MSC Divina

We are just back from a fantastic cruise around the Caribbean on the MSC Divina and first of all…Cabin staff (thanks Edi, you did a great job) bar buffet and restaurant staff were all friendly, polite and fun. After a couple of days they knew our drink preferences and even names! They seem not to have as many servers around the lounge areas, pools and casino as other cruise lines, but service at any of the bars was quicker than any other ship we have sailed on. There was however one server in the atrium and Dolce Vita bar on deck 5 who was amazing - thank you Sane for always promptly taking our orders with a smile and quickly bringing drinks and bar snacks to us!

I have always thought the buffet food was very good, but it excelled on this cruise. Our American friends loved it too, even saying it was better than some of the higher-end cruise lines.  The cabins are very comfortable, the ship is kept spotlessly clean, shows are of a very high standard, disco is great, pools are fabulous (there are three of them and they are all a decent size), lots of hot-tubs and casino is great. As a plus there is no smoking in the casino either!

All in all we had a great cruise and if you are thinking about taking a cruise aboard the MSC Divina just book it - I can't see how you'd be disappointed. Great value and if you enjoy a drink (or two) get the more-for-less beverage package - probably the best value at sea!

Destination: Eastern Caribbean from PortMiami aboard MSC Divina (MSC Yacht Club)

I am writing this review to let everyone know about the incredible experience that is the MSC Yacht Club. My husband and I are experienced cruisers with probably 30 cruises or more, many of them in suites…

Where do I begin? This is really the most amazing experience I've ever had on a ship.

From the moment we arrived at the Port of Miami, we were taken care of by a butler. First, we were shown to an area for suite guests and given champagne and cookies while we checked in. Then we were personally escorted onboard the ship to our suite, an absolutely beautiful and fairly large penthouse style room. BTW, I want to especially mention the delicious and correctly made scones!
Then at the back of the ship, there is the restaurant for Yacht Club guests called Le Muse. The food is mostly authentic Italian - and by authentic Italian, I mean ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC with exquisite attention paid to details and using the highest quality ingredients…Honestly, I think the food and service at Le Muse is better than on any other cruise line we have experienced.The ship had a lot of activities I have not seen elsewhere including Italian lessons and also a class where cruisers create their own bottle of wine from different wines. They also have the usual stuff - bingo and so forth.
In almost every way I can imagine, the Yacht Club Experience was absolutely wonderful and near perfection and I will not hesitate to book another MSC cruise in the Yacht Club - hopefully next time in the Med. If you like to cruise in a sophisticated atmosphere with the best in food and wine, the MSC Yacht Club is for you.

Destination: Western Caribbean from PortMiami aboard MSC Divina

This was our first cruise… and I have to say that I was mostly impressed and had an enjoyable and relaxing vacation.

Overall – I really liked my cruise! Of course there were several things which I could criticize, but for me, the amount of luxury and individual attention that they give on the limited space of a ship with thousands of people was truly a feat, and clearly outweighed any negatives I encountered. The staff was great, and my cruise was both exciting and relaxing. MSC is a good cruise line, and I liked the Italian / international feel. If you're more of an adventurous person, I would say this might be the cruise line for you.

I can truly say that I absolutely loved my vacation on MSC Divina. The people there, the staff, the bartender's, the music, I can go on! The entertainment kept me smiling, the Comedy shows kept me laughing, and the Disco kept me dancing till the night ended. Out of all the cruise lines I've been on, I have enjoyed this one the most.

The shows made my jaw drop each time, the vocalists, the dancers, I was speechless. If you step off of a cruise ship on the last day, and already feel nostalgic, you know that you had a great time on that cruise. I would like to thank everyone on the trip, for it was certainly memorable!

To experience for yourself what a day in the life onboard for a real guest is like aboard MSC Divina, contact your travel agent, visit the MSC Cruises website or call 1-(844) 220-9878 to book your MSC Divina Caribbean cruise vacation.
