Space ratio is gross tons per lower-berth passenger; higher is roomier. Guests per crew member: lower is more attentive. Places to eat excludes bars. From MSC's own technical sheet dated August 2025. The line publishes only the maximum passenger count, so the lower-berth figure here is cabins times two.
