MSC Romantic Cruises Reviews

We decided to give MSC a try despite the mixed reviews because the price was so good. It wasnt perfect but given the price, issues were minor. It is great deal. We paid for Aurea level and I feel it was worth it. The room was outdated and the porcelin in the toilet was scratched. But the suite was large, and storage was ample. It was also clean. The pillows that came with the bed were ...

Embarkation and Muster Drill Embarking on the MSC Magnífica from Miami on December 11, 2023, marked the beginning of a cruise that unfolded with both highlights and nuances. The unique muster drill, requiring room dialing before reaching the muster station, presented an interesting departure from conventional safety briefings but left room for improvement in terms of clarity and ...

I would avoid booking with MSC at ALL costs. To start, the food was barely edible. Everything was either over cooked, undercooked, or bland. Everything is served room temperature even in the restaurants. Bartenders couldn’t care less about who came first and they like to ignore you. The customer service was absolutely atrocious. The vodka shooter in my room had been refilled with water. Upon ...

I travelled with my dad on Sinfonia Nov 2011 after the passing of my brother. The ship was stranded in Capetown Harbor for most of the trip due to extremely bad weather, however, the experience on the ship was very enjoyable and the staff were amazing. This trip on 8 Dec on MSC Splendida, to Mozambique was a total disaster, from embarkation to end. It was horribly managed. During embarkation, ...

It was one big disappointment. From the embarking right through to dis-embarkment. It took 4 hours to embark and again 4 to disembark. Both our suitcases were damaged, and they just pulled up their shoulders. After throwing my toys completely, they sent someone with cellotape to fix my suitcase... cellotape!!!!???? The ship was totally over crowded - we did not even get close to a pool, let ...

This was our first cruise and had our hopes high with all my friends and family talking about their experiences in other cruises like Carnival or Royal Caribbean. Our first day started with unsatisfactory food options. The group we were traveling with had people who are vegetarian and few who do not eat pork or beef. The only option we had we had was roast chicken throughout the trip. Our seated ...

We experienced our 1st family cruise to the portuguese island, mozambique. The children absolutely loved the experience. The food,drinks,entertainment and shopping was wonderful. Food was prepared well and delicious, staff were all very attentive and well informed. The pool areas were clean and well maintained. We purchased the Aurea experience and that was a good decision as we could dine in the ...

Typically we choose cruises of at least 7 nights, but we were able to get such a great deal on this 4 night cruise that we decided to go We were in an ocean view cabin. The cabin was typical in size and provided the standard amenities. Bed was comfortable and the shower was reasonably sized. Porthole window whole not as fun as a balcony did provide some light and little bit of a ...

We booked a cabin for myself, my wife and our two teens - it was our first boat cruise. We were spoiled and handled extremely professsionally by all members of staff from the cleaning staff to the waiters and butlers. The embarcation process went smooth and our bags were delivered to our rooms quickly. The crew assisted with all our questions and helped out to make us feel at home. Food was always ...

This was my very first Transatlantic cruise. I booked it early because the low price was too great to miss out on. Then I started reading the reviews coming out during summer and was worried I would have a bad experience. It seems the cruiseline was reading them also. Most of the staff on our sailing had only been working on the ship for 2 months or less, which means they fired all the old ...
