"We chose this cruise because of the great port calls; Italy, athens, olympia, Kotor, and Split. The destinations did not disappoint. They were fantastic and we avoided much of the crowds by cruising in the winter...."Read More
Food in the main dinning room was good some nights and bad others, lobster was available one night for an addition $24 and was very small. And salads are not offered as one of the courses.
Drink packages are very expensive, you need at least 19 drinks to break even.
Buffet for breakfast was limited, no omelets.
Nightly shows were only 1/2 hour long and limited to mostly the same ...
Picked this cruise from Bari as we wanted to come back to Bari and spend time in the Puglia area..
Cruise was great although more time could have been spent in ports .
Restaurant waiters and service was great and food too.
Our housekeeper Mundir was very helpful and always there if Needed. Room was always cleaned to perfection.
Entertainment staff were the best I have come across on ...
This summer we decided, for our vacation, to book a cruise that sailed from Venice, Italy to the Greek islands and back.
Leg 1 of our cruise brought us to Kotor in Montenegro. While there we took a guided bus excursion allowing us to see and visit the 5th century town of Budva still surrounded by the original city walls. Right away when walking in you get taken back in time. The ancient city ...
My husband and I decided to book a very spontaneous trip on MSC Magnifica four days before the ship was to set sail through Expedia. We were coming from Boston, USA and took a non-stop flight to Rome, then a smaller flight to Bari, Italy where we embarked. We read some of the negative reviews (mostly about smoking on the ship and staff being rude) but decided to risk the trip anyway. We are so ...
Our first cruise. Cabin was comfortable, albeit shower a bit small. Will definitely book a balcony cabin in future, just to have that outside private space for a coffee in the mornings and to relax with a book watching the world sail by.
Mainly used the buffet for meals, as this suited us more due to itinerary and having a teenage son. only ate lunch and evening meal once in the main dining ...
We often go on different cruise companies, and we have a large experience of service on cruise ships, but we were 1st time on the Opera MSC ship
And unfortunately our vacation was very poor :(
As soon as we entered the ship, we were surprised about the small
the size of the cabin, although we had a cabin with a balcony, there were not even napkins in the cabin. On the diversity in the ...
The ship was clean and well cared for. Staff very nice, I even tipped extra. The food however was horrible. Very few dinning choices and most had an extra cost to eat such as hamburger or even a pizza. I get that if you want something that cost more like lobster but a hamburger really? Speaking of the lobster one of our group members tried it. He said it looked green and slimy and thought that was ...
This is our fifth cruise and our first with MSC. We got an excellent price offering about 10 months ago, so decided to give them a try. We certainly got our money’s worth. The ship was well maintained, tastefully decorated (not garish at all), and the crew were pleasant, professional, and polite. Entertainment was surprisingly good, but did get tired before the end of the 8 days, as they have ...
We have done Celebrity and P&O before. Enjoyed both of them.
We took two cabins as our 4 children were joining us. food was OK. Dubrovnik, Venice , Mykanos were good destinations, Sarande not worth getting off the boat for - dirty, full of beggars. Entertainment was comedically bad but became repetitive.Their musical version of Red Riding Hood consisted of lots of thrusting of sparkly ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. (Venice, Greece, Dubrovnik)
We have qa previously cruised on MSC Splendida and MSC Preziosa and were very impressed with both of them.
The Lirica, however, was very disappointing. The ship itself was beautiful, clean and bright. The food was, at best, lukewarm, but often cold. The only things that were always hot was the coffee and the soup!
The ...
