Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Musica
Patow
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
Price and itinerary was the drawcard, but the cruise was just awful. Cold food with no flavour. No entertainment except for dancing and pool games. No movies or tv except if you paid for them. Treated like cattle on embarking took 2 hrs. Bistro closed at 2oc. Didnt get on till then. Room was dirty when we finally got in. Service at night in dining room was terrible took nearly 2 hrs and food was ...

The cruise was over populated with passengers. No dining facilities available at breakfast & lunch. By the time you waited for a seat the buffet was closed.At excursions we were treated as if we were in a government facility where we need to stand in long lines. The braai on the Island did not have any proper meat, as per braai. I've been on four cruise thus far and this was the worst. No body ...

We chose this cruise because it left from Durban, South Africa which allowed us to tick off a stay at Kruger National Park as well as a visit to Petra in Jordan.
The cruise embarkation in Durban would have to have been the longest, most shambolic and most disorganised we have EVER experienced.
The staff, apparently (or so we were told) were new. All we can say is that they hadn't been ...

We picked this cruise line based on reviews and reputation. We picked this cruise for the its itinerary and excursions. Viking missed the mark all too often, then when they had the opportunity to offer some accommodation for their error - chose to pour gasoline on the fire.
Save your money and your sanity - sail another cruise line.
I will acknowledge that the ship is lovely, but that is ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
This cruise has always been on my bucket list, but I think my expectations was too high for what they could give. I work in a 5 star lodge and is very focused on service and for that reason I am also writing this review.
The cabin was very nice.
But dining was horrible you go on a cruise to spend time with your partner but find out that you have to sit with complete strangers and there is ...

I will not suggest to my worst enemy to go on the MSC MUSICA AGAIN

i wanted to take all my grand children next year but i will rather stay at home
some of the people on the cruise ...

I went for the Afrikaans Sokkie and it was my birthday. MSC Musica.
I did state when I made a booking that it was my birthday. When I did my first cruise 17 years ago also on my birthday, I was supprised with a birthday cake! Now they charge you for it.
There was always photographers taking ransom photos during your cruise, now you have to go to them and it is all unnatural studio photos at ...

MSC Musica was highly recommended, but did not meet the standard. Cabin was dirty, food mediocre and the stuff not really friendly.
The only thing that was good was the theater. The shows where brilliant. Otherwise overall it was a waste of money. I am bitter. I paid R12 600.00 but what I got was not worth that at all. I tried to upgrade but the room but the receptionist said that was not ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
These people's embarkation and disembarkation process is NIGHTMARE. By the time you get on the ship you are dehydrated, exhausted, confused and disoriented and you 're bombarded by people selling packages. Non stop and just overehelming. When you get on you have to wait til 1.30pm for your room and up to 7pm for your bag.
Then when you get off the ship they line your bags up just after you ...

The standards of the MSC cruises have dropped to a terrible new low. My wife and I cruised on the Opera to Mauritius in 2014 and that cruise was delightful. However this cruise was horrible:
- Standard of the food has dropped both in buffet and restaurant.
- We asked for a first dinner sitting and got a second despite having a 2 year old who went to bed hungry on Friday night due to the ...
