My family and I went on an 10 nights Caribbean cruise. The ship was a little bit old but nothing to Warri about . Our embarkation process was not great we had to wait around 1 our to board the ship because the crew had a confucion. Our dining experience was good , on the buffet we enjoyed awrself the fierst 5 to 7 days but then it started to get old and the food didn’t change on 11 days ...

Choose them for price & itinerary, service was bad, buffets are $2.99 Las Vegas style, our suite & balcony were unusable for seven days due to work during day, cruise on board managers are unavailable, hand gel stations constantly empty, slow service, tables, chairs and public areas are unavailable due to staff allowing them to be reserved even when they are used for hours & hours. Staff do not ...

We took a B2B cruise on the Divina from January 20 to Feb 6. I’ll be honest, this was our test cruise to see if we would ever book on MSC again after many problems with their IT and two previous bad MSC cruises. One was at the start of COVID and the other was March, 2022. We have sailed twice on the Divina pre-COVID (five star reviews) and enjoyed our trips but this one was a major letdown in so ...

We have been with MSC Divina from 27th January 2023 on a 10 night cruise through caribbean and south america. It was the worst experience we had so far with MSC and we were before that on couple different MSC cruises and ships. The ship itself has a beautiful design and a lot to offer. Embarkation in Miami went smoothly and without any problems. We went straight to the buffet restaurant for ...

Honest review of the MSC Divina sail date Jan 27, 2023. To say I love this ship is an understatement. I've already sailed on her 2 times - in the past 2 years. After this cruise it was probably my last. Here are my pros and cons. PROS: • Public rooms and décor are gorgeous, welcoming and don't feel overwhelming - even at full capacity. • In 2021 we got a balcony cabin. This time we chose ...

I Booked an 11 day cruise nearly 1 year ago along with 5 other families. From day one, whenever any of us called customer service we were given conflicting information to various questions. IE: drink packages...does the dining room have tables to accommodate 12 in our group. Obviously their representatives do not know your product well enough too give the same answers. I searched and ...

My husband and I just returned from our first cruise with MSC and we traveled with 10 other people who, also, have never cruised with MSC. Usually, we return home with great things to say about the cruise lines we experience, but this one is much different. To start, before we ever left, we made several phone calls to inquire/clarify about general information ranging from vaccinations, curling ...

Overcrowded and Understaffed

We choose this cruise for a family cruise (3 couples) because of the price and itinerary. We have sailed with Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Celebrity in the past. First of all the Divina is a beautiful ship. But dysfunctional. While everything is pretty to look at it has a layout and design that wastes a lot of space making for overcrowding everywhere. Huge areas are reserved for suite ...

So I have been on many different lines and the past 2 cruises have been with MSC. But MSC would NEVER be my pick unless sailing in Yacht Club. Yacht Club is wonderful in every way, but the second you step outside of it to the main bars there is no service most of the time or bars are closed. The buffet is HORRIBLE. Packed to the brim, people are elbowing and shoving and cutting lines and ...

Hello, I wanted to share my experience with MSC Divina and the dissatisfaction, disturbing confusion, conduct from the ships officers and being understaffed.This my first and last time that I cruise with MSC. Over the last 6 years I’ve taken 8 cruises. Firstly I want to let you know that the staff treated us well and worked hard despite being understaffed in every aspect. All bar areas had 1 ...
