"This was a first cruise and a trial cruise for us and if three days on board MSC Sinfonia is any indication what cruising is really about, we'll never do it again!
We can heartily recommend the suite cabins with..."Read More

My boyfriend and I went on the msc cruise last January. It was an overall lovely experience but the negative parts of the trip had an effect on the overall enjoyment of the trip.
Positives:
- Cabin: our cabin faced the sea and was beautiful. Clean and neat. Personally the best part of the trip.
- Room service: the breakfast options were very good and enjoyable.
- Buffett: the ...
MSC SINFONIA
CRUISE ITINERARY – DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA TO VENICE – 20 APRIL 2018 – 14 MAY 2018
GOOD COMMENTS
1. The whole of the ship was always clean and tidy
2. Medical Centre – Unfortunately I had to attend the medical centre. The consultation by the doctor was excellent and thorough. The Medical Centre was well organised and very busy. (It was difficult to find ...
We chose this, our first cruise for two reasons: 1. The rest and relaxation it would afford us and 2. the places we would get to see. We were not disappointed; every place had its own unique history and was a worthwhile visit. The pre-stop talks by Alison were appreciated but not always accurate and lacked practical information for those not doing the organised Excursions. However, that said, the ...
Check in was drawn out - Computers kept going offline and dragging out the already drawn out process.
Food was utterly AWEFUL (vastly different from when we went in 2013), really - a HUGE disappointment! There was only ONE late night food option: (pizza - what there WAS of it) and a la carte dining was totally pathetic.
The "beverage books" that we bought were a joke! You had to purchase a ...
I wanted to go over the equator by ship and the cruise line I chose was the perfect one. Plus the dates fell on my birthday .. this was awesome. The entertainment was perfect perfect. The food.. good food and for weight watchers there.. you do have some choice. Quite a variety for all. The rooms were very clean and well kept. As for the gym and say daily workout.. it was great. The morning yoga ...
We saw a cruise that included a return flight for an acceptable price. We wanted to visit family in Europe and celebrate an anniversary. (that was a complete misnomer!) We were cordially received by the staff on-board, but it is overwhelming to be accosted with hard sell on drinks vouchers etc. The cabins were not yet ready, but our cabin steward was a real delight Luciano from Madagascar. He ...
Cruise from South Africa with interesting destinations. The staff were very friendly and the entertainment team great. I liked the way that the whole entertainment was involved and everyone in the team played an important role. The food was good as well as the bar service.
Cabin was cleaned and serviced to my liking. The cleaning cabin staff did little things extra like, lying out the pajamas ...
We were looking for a one-way travel itinerary and chose a cruise over a one-way air-ticket. It served as a family vacation for 24 days and was worth the experience. The only thing to keep in mind when doing a long crossing is that most of the passengers are retired and that there are not many children on board, however the team at the Mini-Club are fantastic and have an action packed program for ...
We wanted a LONG cruise and this was it❣️
The embarkation process went smooth. The fact that we could check in online, made it easy
The ship is awesome and has everything you can think of Our cabin was very good and we had enough space not to feel cramped. All the food was excellent. The food from the dining experience was good - although the service was slow (but it was not the ...
We wanted to do a longer cruise. We started in Durban which we knew so only did a half day in Durban.
Embarkation and disembarkation at the beginning and end went smoothly however at the different ports it was a little chaotic. When you have more than 4 buses going perhaps you could call two at a time rather than 4.
The ship was lovely and clean. Our room which had a big window was spacious ...
