Barcelona to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean MSC Splendida Cruise Reviews

The best thing about MSC Splendida is the crystal staircases in the main atrium. Otherwise, in my opinion, corporate policy for this cruise line needs a serious overhaul. The ship seems poorly managed and directives from the top down appear to be missing. Most of the young people working on board try to do the job cheerfully, but proper training appears to be lacking, or training looks as if ...

Ship very clean and modern, entertainment very good, room service good, evening dining service good. The ship does have some quirks to it. The ship doesn't want you to take a drink that might be half full and bring it to another bar. You are forced to leave at the current bar or drink it down and reorder at the next one. Not a big deal if you are on the drink package like we were. Highly ...

The Splendida was a beautiful ship when we got on we was really impressed.. But don't go on for the food it was horrible. I ate a lot of bread and water.. We didn't try the Tex Mex we was afraid of paying for the same food.. The sports bar only opens at night. The smoking was awful in the casino too... The people working in the tour office was not very informative either. And we had pre booked 3 ...

We had done a cruise with Holland America last year this time since it was December and options were limited we went with MSC Ship Speledida lives up to its name its absolutely "Splendid" The activities in comparison were very limited 1 activity at each hour no choices The Service left a lot to be desired as the Italian staff were always walking with swollen faces The cabin was fantastic ...

The negatives - MSC does not care about you in any way once you get on the boat. All they want is to turn you upside down and shake as much cash as they can out of you. They are only short of wearing masks and holding you at gun point to extract cash. Everything is plus 15% on top of the overpriced items. Tours are the biggest rip off, you can do all the tours locally for a fraction ...

Positive: The stateroom is nicely decorate and it is quite comfortable. Negative: The service is so bad that I think majority of the crew especially in the dinning room should be retrain. If you don't speak Italian than many of the entertainment will count you out. The food quality is the worst ever. There are lot of pasta and pizza, but if you are looking for lobster, good steak, good ...

From start to finish all I can say is wow! We approached this trip with a small bit of fear given some of the reviews we had read on here our expectations were not high. From the time we landed at the Barcelona port to the time we got off again this was the best holiday I have ever experienced. The check in took less the 10 minutes with a very efficient process. Our room was very comfortable ...

We are not avid cruisers, but will cruise if itinerary and price are compelling, which was the case with the MSC Splendida booked online ($699 for a balcony cabin for 7 nights). We had been to the Mediterranean before (20 years ago on Holland America), but this cruise left from Barcelona and went to Tunis, Malta, Sicily, Rome, Genoa and Marseille. Since we had been to Rome for a week a few years ...

We are a couple in our early 30's from Australia This is our third major cruise, with the previous being with P & O around the Pacific and Carnival around Europe. The MSC Splendida took us on a 11 night eastern mediteranean cruise commencing in Barcelona and visiting the ports of Genoa, Olympia, Athens, Rhodes, Alexandria, Crete, Messina, Naples and finishing back in Genoa. ...
