MSC Family Cruises Reviews

This was the recommended cruise company from the tour operator within our budget as we had to fly from Ireland, which really puts the price up. But we took the all inclusive deal as this suited our family trip. We were skeptical as we had not heard of MSC but we read some reviews that were mixed. Check in was the only negative as this took almost 2 hours due to earlier delays. As we had 2 teens ...

This was our 65th cruise. Obviously, we've been on them all -- but never MSC. We read and believed the online reviews and bad experiences with this line and for that reason, we stayed away. Our mistake. We apologize. I'll start at the beginning ... from JFK to the Brooklyn Cruise Port is about 50 minutes and our cab charged $85 (we had two traffic slow downs on Sunday morning). Unfortunately, ...

I wanted to try it for the first time. I saw mixed reviews on yelp. It was a big mistake!! I have never left any bad reviews, but this is a must to warn everyone to stay away from MSC Cruise lines. waste of money and vacation time. service, food, system was terrible, ship is boring with nothing to do, it is not as nice as people say. outdoor main pool was small and weird layout. not enough room ...

Just got off the gorgeous but never feels too overly crowded Meraviglia. Some notes and pointers. This was a family cruise with children and we've previously cruised NCL and Princess. We are native NYCers. 1) Cabin We were on deck 10 midship and during the first day of the cruise, our bathroom smelled horrible. It eventually went away but we caught wiffs of it throughout the cruise. The ...

packaged snacks 1st time traveling with a child 21 months old- 17th cruise overall- majority of my cruises have been on celebrity and royal caribbean with a few on carnival and 1 on norwegian. Booking: booking was easy, i was able to hold the cruise, then discuss with family then book. However, the maps were wrong. I chose cabin based on the map shown on the msc website- which showed it ...

We have cruised over 14 times with many different cruise lines. This was our 30th wedding anniversary and a cruise to greece.. What a mess! The staff was completely understaffed, disgruntled and overwhelmed! Getting a drink was a nightmare! The food was terrible! We were so disappointed! The dining room is usually such a memorable experience.. Not on msc! The buffets were not replenished and ...

I have cruised over 14 times, first and last time with MSC! Overcrowded, understaffed and dirty. Purchased a drink package, but getting a drink from the bar is a mess. Servers are overwhelmed, waiting 30 minutes, begging a bar tender to fill you order. The food is terrible! I won’t cruise with MSC again. Royal Caribbean is night and day difference and much higher quality! The buffet can’t keep up ...

I chose this cruise because MSC is a “famous” cruise company. Too many mistakes in one single cruise experience. 1) overcrowded 2) crew is not properly trained to serve too many people 3) Pre booked drink package are not in the system so they asked a proof that I bought it in advance, and even after it, I didn’t get the preciously deal price 4) Reception team does not have ...

We love to cruise out of NYC so I cannot tell you how excited I was to see MSC sailing out of Brooklyn. I had read so many great things about the YC that I knew I had to give it a try. I have sailed 3 times before in NCL Haven and was curious if YC would be better. We booked a YC interior because it was the same price as a NCL Joy balcony room. I had never stayed in an interior room before so I ...
