First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was our first cruise and we were naturally a little apprehensive about how we would cope with such a long time on board. Our fears were allayed considerably by the friendliness, courtesy and efficiency of the staff. The ship was immaculate at all times and the hard work put in by the crew was unobtrusive. The accommodation was most acceptable. The food interesting and tasty as well as ...

I booked this cruise as a surprise for my Mum as friends of ours had done this route the year before (different ship) and had so much fun so were doing it again in 2015. I have to start by saying that I was one of those people who said that I've got no interest in going on a cruise, mainly because I am a very independent traveller and did not like the idea of being 'trapped' in one place with ...

Everything was awesome just the boarding takes a while and that's the only negative thing I can say.The staff on-board is very friendly and helpful. Have no complaint. The other thing is its better to add money on the card when your on-board the ship The Shows that MSC have on-board is one of the most awesome shows you will ever see, you have to watch all the shows! The Food are the best ...

MSC Opera - Captain,ship and staff - take a bow! Wow, I have just disembarked from the Opera in Durban (trip from Cape Town) Wow MSC have certainly upped the ante.

I have been on just about every MSC ship that has been in Durban over many years and sailed on a ship from a ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

It all started with at least an hour and a half standing in line to check in. On arrival at the check in desk we were given our cards but no mention about registering our credit cards for our on board account. We had to go find where to do it once on board and do it there. On arrival at our cabin we found the room to be made up as a double bed, NOT as twin beds as had been quite specifically ...

Having never cruised with MSC before, I was sceptical about the level of service, food, amenities and cabin I would receive given the great deal I recived with regards to price. On arrival at port, all my fears were allayed. Then boarding process was quick, efficient and well handled by the MSC staff. Passengers were allowed to board in groups based on the time they arrived at port. Once on ...
