MSC Family Cruises Reviews

Just got off the beautiful MSC Magnifica! I will admit I was skeptical to sail with MSC based on the reviews I had read from others… but I was very pleased to say the least. Embarkation Process- 10/10 First Initial Impression- 10/10 Food- 8/10 Cleanliness- 10/10 Cabin (Junior Balc)- 8/10 Staff to Guest Ratio: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Entertainment: ...

My first time with MSC cruiseline. I went with my husband and 2 kids. I have to say it was very fantastic. I stayed in balcony suite and enjoyed Aurea experience with access to spa and my choice dining experience at Quatro restaurant was the best. I have to shout out to Neelish(waiter) and his assistant waiter Anam @Quatro restaurant. They were always serving us with the smile and their kindness ...

Ship is older and fewer amenities but in good shape. Smoking infiltrated all of us anytime we were near a smoking area or the casino. Why is any cruise line catering to the .5% of people who smoke to the detriment of the other 99.5%? The buffet food was horrible. Industrialize food, no variety, missing basic stuff e.g. croutons on salad bar). Dinner in the MDR was much better. ...

First cruise for my wife and I. We had the best vacation of our life! Met some really great people Amazing staff. Special shout out to Deon and Dennis in back at the horizon bar!! Always ready to do anything for you. Horizon bar was our go to for sure. Great views being in the back outside. And great beverages. Boat is absolutely beautiful. And huge. The private island Ocean Cay was absolutely ...

MSC Magnifica is just magnificent . They made our spring break super fun and memorable. Food, hospitality, entertainment, events everything was spot on . Their entertainment manager Graham had another level of energy to keep the entire group engaged. Variety of food was great. Shopping experience on the ship was also great. Pools were nice and clean. Gym was nice and especially protein shakes ...

Embarkation: Check-in was fast and MSC workers courteous, except one New Yorker port worker at security (but I'm a Texan in New York). We had a 10-10:30 am check-in time. After a subway and a bus, we arrived just a few minutes after 10am, dropped our luggage, and then we had to show passport and boarding passes before entering the security. After security was check-in, getting a boarding card, ...

This was our first time sailing on MSC and in Yacht Club. We are very experienced cruisers - NCL Haven, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Windstar, Seabourn, and Holland America. Yacht Club was an exceptional experience. The staff on board are incomparable. They are kind, efficient, gracious and helpful. Embarkation was speedy and seamless. The food in the Yacht Club restaurant is incredible and the ...

That cruise was choosed because of itinerary and value for money.It was right choice,everything was great for rookie. Most impressive thing-in all ports,when we came back from shore excursion,the ship personal was waiting in the pier, offering cold wet towels and cold orange or lemon water (the days were really hot and lot of moisture). Shore excursions (bought from MSC before embarkation) ...

The ship was overbooked and you had to wait in line for everything. You had to wait in line to used the spas and you had 10 minutes maximum allowed in it. The trip from NYC to Port Canaveral is really bumpy. A lot of passengers were seasick and you could smell the vomit while walking on the ship. Our room was not well clean as you can see in the pictures. I found some disgusting ...

Our family sailed on the March 3rd 2024 Meraviglia out New York to Cape Canaveral, Ocean Cay (stop cancelled due to wind), and Nassau. As background, we sailed on Princess (2 times), Royal Caribbean (3 times), and Carnival (1 time). This was our first time on MSC and to be honest, the negative reviews gave me pause. However, we got a good deal and figured that 7 days not having to cook and clean ...
