The reviews on the boarding, food, restaurants are absolutely accurate. My partner has a condition related to thrombosis and 5 hours stood in a boarding que did her no favours, she is still struggling on return home. My back gave up also and another passenger gave me a back massage on the rerminal floor to ease the pain. Food attocious and it was zoo like in the marketplace. No knives, forks ...
I cannot say anything good about this ship or MSC and will second everything the previous reviewer had to say about this cruise I can only add it was like Butlins at sea We have another MSC booked which we are seriously considering cancelling I cannot express how bad it was .The facilities on board cannot deliver to 6000 passengers. This ship does not compare with other ships of its size and yes ...
The food was beyond AWFUL - by far the worst on any cruise I’ve ever been on. There was very little choice on the menus compared to Princess cruises which we are used to. MSC need to up their game big time. The food in the MDR’s was lukewarm and just slapped on the plate. There was no attempt at presentation whatsoever. We felt like we were eating in a canteen.
I woke up plastered in bed bug ...
We are highly disappointed and feel cheated out of our money. I feel like MSC should’ve canceled the cruise due to coronavirus outbreak as we didn’t visit any ports outside of UAE. I refuse to believe that MSC did not know this ahead of time. We stayed at sea most of time and basically cruised from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. We disembarked early in Dubai as we simply could not take being on the ship ...
CHRISTMAS CRUISE Abu Dhabi (22-12-2019 until 29-12-2019)
Everything started with the wrong foot (Family travel - Party of 11 originally, but only 9 arrived because my mother had an emergency surgery and stayed with my father) So the first thing we did before embarkation, we presented all the medical certifications, and we didn´t get the refund of the stateroom, but thay didn´t also give us the ...
Chose this cruise because it visited a lot of cities I have on my to do list. But sadly this is like a hospital ship. Brothel red style rooms, hospital food (really really bad) and zero energy. Travelers of a certain age, which is the majority, seem to enjoy this hospital/nursing home ship, but if you are not 70+ yet i suggest you avoid at all costs.
The pools are kiddie pools, decor is ...
DO NOT BOOK any cruise with Costa! I have never experienced a company before that care so little for their customers.
I should have known that it was going to be bad. Before we even set sail they were impossible to contact. They do not answer the phone or reply to any emails. All I wanted was some information, apparently even that is too much for them!
They ship's decor is ugly and old. Do ...
I have never ever experienced something so bad. MSC has so much to learn. You pay all this money and get nothing but bad, rude staff. Asked to pay extra for ALL activities. Hardly nothing to do - especially for teenagers. Everything is closed all the time. If you ask staff to do anything or help you they hardly understand their job and do absolutely nothing about it. The atmosphere is dead. Truly ...
As you are obvoiusly only looking for positive reviews to put on Cruise Critic I won't bother wasting my time describing the couldn't care less attitude of the staff, the drunken neighbours who we were told to put up with and the security staff who never bothered turning up on the penultimate night when this couple started arguing late at night. By this time both my wife and I had been quarantined ...
I made this cruise with MSC and never had such a bad experience. I reported my complaints at MSC and the even refused a compensation!!!!!!
The transfer was a mess, the embarkation was very bad.
I booked an Aurea Suite(!) no window to open nor a balcony. I asked for a swap but was told off by the receptionist.
In the bars (from an Italian ship) there was no Martini available nor Aperol. ...
