MSC Barcelona Cruise Reviews

So I booked this December cruise in the mediterranean and then started reading several negative review.I was worried. Had I made the wrong choice? I did not, so let me address the complaints I read and give you my experience. Boarding: Was super fast. Maybe 15 min at the most.I was a solo traveler and boarded in Barcelona. Room: I had a room with promenade view. Bed was super comfy and if I ...

I also did a live review that's much more comprehensive than this one, so search for Live from MSC World Europa. NYE Cruise, December 29, 2023 out of Barcelona on the MSC boards. Pre-Cruise: We stayed 3 nights pre-cruise in Barcelona at the NH Collection Grand Hotel Calderon in Barcelona. I have American Express Platinum, which got me some extra credit and perks, but it was nice, clean, modern ...

I've worked on cruise ships a few years ago but this was our first experience cruising as passengers. Good Stuff: 1. Embarkation was straightforward 2. Modern clean ship. 3. Cabin well proportioned and appointed 4. Cabin steward was really nice and always did a great job looking after us. 5. Guest singer in the Carouselle lounge was excellent - I'd look for her again when doing ...

I have cruised on various cruise lines so far including NCL, Celebrity, Carnival etc. This has been the worst from all aspects, except the staff. The food had literally no Vegetarian options. The shows were substandard. No coffee creamer’s. The quality of soap below par. Not even warm milk for coffee the first 2 days. I would not recommend this cruise line by any means. Please save your money and ...

I choose this cruise because it was affordable but the food wasn't impressive nor was the service at the Wave Restaurant. I did enjoy the entertainment which was great! However when you cruise the highlight is alway the quality of your food. I did book one of the specialty restaurants which was hibachi style that was quite tasty & entertaining as well. I booked a balcony cabin but it ...

I have been on 18 cruises, but never longer than 7 days. This was my 1st longer cruise and my 1st transatlantic cruise. EMBARKATION: I arrived at the port in Barcelona with a fellow passenger who spoke Spanish. Somewhow, that got us priority boarding. We walked right up to counter, got our cruise cards and walked right onto the ship. I think were were onboard within 10 ...

We had a one week layover between two cruises in Barcelona and instead staying in hotels, decided to take this cruise. We are an older couple with 60+ cruises under our belt. Based on the many negative reviews on this board, we did not set our expectations too high. But we were pleasantly surprised. This is a beautiful, modern ship with state with the art high tech features. It appears to ...

We (family of 3 adults) just disembarked from our MSC Fantasia cruise (a mediterranean cruise); it was our first time with this company. For more than 20 years, we have done several cruises throughout South and North America, as well as Mediterranean cruises. We have used different companies and ships, but none of them were so consistent in bringing 100% negative elements to the cruises’ ...

Sailed from Barcelona, fixed rate taxi fare of 39 euros from El Pratt for the four of us and cases (same for return trip). Approximately 5 minute wait for check in which went smoothly then it was onto the ship. As one of my sons has a Gluten intolerance our first mission was to check the assigned restaurant (19:00 sitting deck 6) had the info we sent through. We were told that our breakfasts ...

Seashore is very dirty, full of soot/ tar. We have videos and we like that people can see this. MSC is pretending that the Seashore is a very clean ship, it’s not and we can prove that. We are not the only ones with complains! We still do get money from MSC, we have still got money on the account, but MSC is not paying automatically paying back our own money. It’s for 9 weeks ago we did ask our ...
