Was on a birthday cruise with my husband.
Compared to the MSC Rhapsody, Sinphonia, Opera, the Musica was a bit of a disappointment. Although its a big ship, it did not compare favorably with the other smaller ships. It was not as friendly.
Staff were a lot more impersonal; food selection was a lot to be desired. Too much of the same and not enough variety, including with the fruits. Menus ...
Cruise was enjoyable.
Cabin was good and neat. Not filled up with soap and toiletpaper everyday Had to ask for it.
Compared to previous cruises the general service was not up to standard as on the Sinfonia and Opera.
The layout for Sinfonia and Opera is much better than the Musica.
Smoking areas should be restricted unpleasant for non smokers
The dining areas was over crowded and ...
Did this cruise with family as a bonding experience. In total we had booked 4 cabins.The facilities on board and entertainment were excellent. Only MAJOR negative is the quality of meals - and layout is insensitive to vegetarians. The sit in restaurants normally only have 1 vegetarian meal option - so you have no choice. The buffet section has various stations (like Mediterranean, Halaal etc) - ...
The disembarkion was very bad the ports people explained nothing the ships people said nothing about loosing a whole day at the port and embarking. We lost stop at one port no explanation and it was explained. Ship was great entertainment for kids was great. Drinks on the deck was watered down compared to the rest of the ship. Services in reception was chaos. So out to 4 days I only enjoyed 2 ...
I did explore the cities before the cruise, embarkation and disembarkation went very well. I went to the cruise before so was familiar with the other things but the levels are upper than before, ship everything is so clean, the staff members do have respect to the guests, the cabin I was not expecting it, for me the cabin was the lowlight it was a 4 sleeper the cabin was too small for 4 people ...
I enjoyed the cruise.
The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the food. It was mostly tasteless, it really needs a lot of improvement.
Our cabin was great. Spacious and well-presented.
It would be great if the bedding/sheets were changed daily. Our steward told us they only change them every 3rd day.
The entertainment was great as well, enjoyed the comedy shows and performances in the ...
I have children who love the idea of cruising, but there was too little water activity for them - the swimming pools were constantly overfull and by the third day they were murky and dirty. There is too much noise and enforced music and on top of that people brought their own speakers to the jacuzzi. I loved the sushi restaurant and the library. The opportunity to buy photos for $44 was just ...
Cruised many times on msc and always wanted to go to this particular destination.
The embarkation and disembarkation was an absolute disgrace and most if not all the passengers complained. To be made to stand for more than two hours with small children is completely unacceptable. i didn't even see staff from the ship coming around to apologize for any inconvenience caused. I am not asking for ...
I have been on 3 cruises before this cruise. Both our previous cruises were "cold weather" cruises, one in Alaska and one in NZ. We were very excited about this cruise and I must say we did have an enjoyable time. However compared to the 2 other cruises the ship lacked "quality". The food was below average, especially in the fine dinning areas in the evenings. The entertainment was very good, ...
We took this cruise because it was closest to home,it was our first with MSC, it was 11 nights, and had a minimum of 6 days at sea (this gives us time to explore the vessel and to relax), unlike shorter cruises where daily disembarkation is the order of the day.
The embarkation was a total disaster. We never experienced such a long wait on any of our previous cruises with Costa, P&O, and ...
