MSC Middle East Cruise Reviews

We chooe this cruise as our friends we going on it and it ticked a few of our bucket list locations, MSC Europa is HUGE, no walking deck, to get to some of the shows you have to walk through the Casino and it always smelt of cigarette smoke and really not very nice at all. Food was very average, Staff in all area's were great, We booked an excursion prior to leaving Australia and on the day of the ...

We chose the cruise because of its destinations ( Middle East, Suez and Italy). We were a bit concerned of the many seadays and overall choosing an italian cruiseline. We had a cabin with balcony, deck 5 "Fantastica". Nice with good bed and pillows.Could have used more electrical outlets. The ship is huge. That means you've got to walk a lot. Interior decoration is modern and tasteful. We ...

we chose this cruise at last minute - the ship itself was clean and well run however the meals at the buffet wasnt hot and not a lot of choice. the restaurant meals were ok but nothing exciting as the menu was a bit much the same most nights. we booked an outside cabin with restricted view OMG we couldn't see outside the window at all, not even the sky as a life boat was hard up against the ...

I spent six weeks travelling through South Africa and decided to return to Europe by cruise. In spring 2023 there were exactly five ships doing this. Costa, Aida, Phoenix and two MSC vessels. Costa visited on the world cruise and no cabin was available. Aida did a fast track through the Atlantic Ocean and mainly visited ports in Europe, in my opinion no attractive itinerary. Phoenix did extensive ...

We travelled on a 30 day “Grand Voyage” from Cape Town to Venice on the MSC Sinfonia in March/April 2023. This is a 3.5 star vessel, and the onboard experience met or slightly exceeded expectations at that price point. The ship is well maintained, and the food entertainment and service are normally good. Note, this ship was cut in two and more cabins inserted. This put a strain on the facilities ...

It's been my second cruise on MSC. The first one was 10 years ago on MSC Fantasia. The new ship World Europa is just georgous! Staff is nice and proffessional. Meals are delicious. Don't believe all negative reviews about this ship. I wonder who writes them. Maybe Americans who miss big burgers and hot-dogs:) :) . If so they are right. It's not McDonald's type mealsprovided on the ship ...

We chose a Dubai cruise and MSC seemed to be a good choice. In the main that proved to be correct but there were some inadequacies on the cruise line. Firstly and foremost we received embarkation details saying that we could not board until 19.00 hours which mean we got into our cabin a little after 20.00 hours having extended our hotel booking to accommodate a late checkout. Having boarded we ...

This cruise was a "first" for me in several respects: my first solo cruise, my first non-English speaking cruise, and my first cruise on a "super size" ship. Having cruised mainly ships whose passengers are mainly American or English speaking, I was curious to try the MSC line, which is an Italian cruise line and caters more to the European crowd. I look for good value on a cruise, which for me, ...

We chose this cruise as part of a package tour of Egypt and jumped at the chance to (hopefully) enjoy the cruise atmosphere as well as visit Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Unlike other cruises we have undertaken, the food was average at best, with the buffet very underwhelming. Where we really struck poor service and very poor responses was where there were agreed refunds for things like cancellation of ...

I should start by saying that this was Crews number 46 or 47 for my husband and I. We’ve sailed on many different cruise lines and this was our second Msc cruise. The ship itself was nice but not special. Thankfully it was not completely full. The slide on the ship is really fun, but there’s not a whole lot to do on the ship. The show with the singers and dancers were nice so we did see a ...
