Nightmare

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Grandiosa

Noely2839
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

Was booked by our travel agent. What a nightmare. The first night in restaurant we were told there was only one English menu and no wine list as we had to order by the app on our phone as of the next night. As I am the only one with a phone it was very difficult after a very rude waiter and a lot of complaining they said we could order from a paper menu. Went to breakfast in the dining room and ...

First Time on MSC and Yacht Club, 6 day RT to Bermuda

Review for a Bermuda Cruise on MSC Meraviglia

JIMESOPUS
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We took this cruise to see what MSC is all about. Never sailed on any other cruise line before just NCL. But with recent cutbacks in many areas and the increased cost to sail with them, it was time to try something else. In the past MSC has been blasted with so many negative reviews, everything from “ too European “, poor entertainment, bad service, and questionable negative food reviews, thing ...

PROS AND CONS OF MSC SEASIDE

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on MSC Seaside

emazzio
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I took MSC Seaside to experience for the first time sailing on a large ship, as it holds 5,119 passengers. PROS - Theater Productions were great and assigned dining was good. 24 hr coffee was a plus. Elevators moved well considering the number of people. If you had children, the jungle pool and slides were a plus. We loved two days in the private island Cocoa Cay. Price of cruise was ...

If you don't need to eat then this is the cruise for you

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

Dcole1933
2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

The crew and staff were incredible. The boat was spectacular and clean. Ocean Cay is one of my new favorite places in the world. With that said if you plan to eat good luck. I never knew that someone could screw up spaghettis or mac n cheese. The buffets were mediocre. By the time you finished getting food your food was cold. The layout is not well thought out at all. The buffet on top ...

I'll never go on another cruise.

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

babyismydog
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My first--and last--ocean cruise. Will never do another one. From beginning to end it was disorganized, difficult, tiring, unpleasant and I didn't feel safe. The embarkation took hours--no signs for lines, no directions, lots of walking with our hand luggage, crowded, loud. Everybody can't walk as far as you expect them to--why not some rolling walkways as in airports? For disembarkation we ...

Nickel and Dimed to Death

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

Dino7012
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

Many things are extra like water on private island. Internet is weak and expensive. Drinks and ice cream are high. On positive side the Seaside was a nice clean boat. The main areas of the boat were clean and well maintained. The deck plan of the boat was so confusing. Many decks don't go through. If you get on the wrong elevators you can get to the pool that you want without going up and ...

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Orchestra

nasartori
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because of the destinations. We enjoyed each and every port and are amazed at the beautiful locations. The ship has numerous lounges that were enjoyed by the guests. From the exercise classes provided poolside to the dancing in the lounges, you can say that this cruise was very active on all fronts. The theater entertainment was good and the dancers were excellent, all ...

Birthday Disappointment!

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

FaceMP
2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

My birthday is September 11, so being that it landed on a Monday this year my girlfriend decided to get us a cruise for the weekend so we can celebrate along with another couple. The only option for us was MSC Seaside for this time. Being that I have only ever been on one other cruise, I was excited to get away just us adults with no kids or any distractions since I own 2 businesses and am always ...
