This was our 3rd cruise with MSC out of a South African Port.
We were Aurea, and it is well worth it for the priority boarding alone.
The staff in the Main Dining room were the staff stars of the cruise, friendly efficient and very attentive.
The meals in the main dining room were very good and well presented.
The buffet was as expected, mainly overcrowded and typical buffet ...
This was my second cruise. The first one I took in 2023 afeb from CPT to Namibia. I had the best time of my life on MSC Sifonia. It was my very first time and I thought I will bring my two daughters with. Which I did for the MSC Splendida to Mozambique. The entire experience is amazing. You can be anywhere in the world while you are inside the cruise. Dress to kill, go for shopping, clubbing, ...
By far our worst holiday experience, a complete waste of money and time. We would have had a better time on land where we catered for ourselves, our first time cruising with #MSC and if this is their standard I would recommend anyone to rather not choose the #MSC Splendida.
Not enough space for people in pools, mistakes made by staff caused us to repeatedly go stand in line at reception for ...
Our family have traveled at MSC ships before from Durban South Africa but this last cruise was very disappointing. Boarding took 4 hrs of various queues at the new durban cruise terminal. Ship feels extremely crowded even jf to be expected this time around was extremely crowded, service is extra slow at all areas with what looks like an understaffed ship with very overworked staff. Staff is ...
I travelled with my dad on Sinfonia Nov 2011 after the passing of my brother. The ship was stranded in Capetown Harbor for most of the trip due to extremely bad weather, however, the experience on the ship was very enjoyable and the staff were amazing.
This trip on 8 Dec on MSC Splendida, to Mozambique was a total disaster, from embarkation to end. It was horribly managed. During embarkation, ...
It was one big disappointment. From the embarking right through to dis-embarkment. It took 4 hours to embark and again 4 to disembark. Both our suitcases were damaged, and they just pulled up their shoulders. After throwing my toys completely, they sent someone with cellotape to fix my suitcase... cellotape!!!!????
The ship was totally over crowded - we did not even get close to a pool, let ...
We experienced our 1st family cruise to the portuguese island, mozambique. The children absolutely loved the experience. The food,drinks,entertainment and shopping was wonderful. Food was prepared well and delicious, staff were all very attentive and well informed. The pool areas were clean and well maintained. We purchased the Aurea experience and that was a good decision as we could dine in the ...
We booked a cabin for myself, my wife and our two teens - it was our first boat cruise. We were spoiled and handled extremely professsionally by all members of staff from the cleaning staff to the waiters and butlers. The embarcation process went smooth and our bags were delivered to our rooms quickly. The crew assisted with all our questions and helped out to make us feel at home. Food was always ...
We embarked on the cruise aboard the MSC Musica from Durban to Venice in April 2019 with expectations of the ship not being up to the standard to HAL/Princess/Celebrity but were hoping for an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, this did not occur. From the commencement of embarkation the experience took a downhill curve.
Not only did it take hours, passengers had to line up in the direct sun ...
We initially chose this particular cruise because of the lovely itinerary and for a special pre retirement holiday. We had cruised with MSC three times previously and although it was not the best quality cruise line it was always an acceptable standard, reasonably priced and had good itineraries.
Right from the start of this cruise things were not managed well, the cruise started in Durban ...
