We flew from Cape Town to Durban early Sunday morning and arrived to beautiful weather in Durban. Our transfers Mzansi Destinations, were waiting to deliver us to our hotel, Belaire Suites (four*). After check in we took a walk along the beach-walk and enjoyed the famous Bunny-Chow. Monday morning our transfers arrived to take us to the port of Durban. Very excited to get to port but when we saw ...
Firstly the embarkation took 2 hrs. It was hot and stuffy in that hall. The staff at the front desk on the ship were very unfriendly. The gentleman cleaning the cabins, had no respect for our Privacy!!
He sees me at my door and says he will bring my towel a little later. I was lying on the bed. He opened the door, than knocked and said hello. I was very upset!!
Sunday morning was the worst ...
Have been on 3 previous cruises, Symphony and Opera and wanted to share this with my fiance. The level of service have definitely decreased and on the Sunday you just feel as if they want you off the ship. The balcony cabin was nice but the floor was broken in front of the sliding door - did report this. No beach towels in the cabin and what a mission to get some! The food was great except for ...
I chose this cruise to celebrate a special occasion being my partners birthday, and the cruise on the MSC Musica seemed the most appropriate for the said dates, I have only read about the Musica via newsletter from travel agents and no person in particular and least to say that the ship is beautiful and looks amazing. Unfortunately, I wish I had the same sentiments to share about the staff and ...
MSC Cruise to Mozambique
We were very excited for our cruise on the MSC Musica from Durban to Pomene mid February 2019. We were diverted last minute to the Portuguese Islands. Having read a couple of posts from various forums and people, I still had some unanswered questions as to what to expect and what to take along. I decided to post some here.
1. Don't buy the water vouchers, it's ...
Having cruised on MSC for over 10 years and being a Gold Club member, this cruise was way below the standard I have come to expect. I had hoped that I would have experienced the same hospitality that I experienced since my first experience on the Melody and not the poor hospitality that we received on the Musica.
1) This was the 2nd year in a row that we had booked a trip to Pomene, only to be ...
Was great at the beginning but get boring along the way waiting time are forever and your waiting everywhere of everything. Very very expensive food is the same everyday and has no taste waiting again and again deck's bar area forever wait for 1 drink. Service on deck very very poor. Details of going to the iland is unclear not usefull. We have enjoyed it but you will not see us very soon again. ...
This was a short cruise with a large group of 25 friends celebrating a wedding. We all booked balcony cabins.
Our cabin was neat and clean. We were booked for dinner in he Oleander restaurant. The maitre d went the extra mile to join our group together into 2 large tables.
Our waiter Juri was excellent and full of jokes and smiles.
There was a variety of cuisine available but we felt ...
The cruise was terible and i will never do it again.
The quing to borde is abselutely rediculous, more than tree hours standing in cues after sitting in the car in the hot sun for an hour waiting to enter the long term parking.
My first cruise was abselutely out of this world on the Melody, where we were treated like guests and not herded like animals.
This been my third cruise now and ...
I guess we came in the cruise with high expectations received from marketing material...
There was a lack of communication on activity changes due to weather and venue changes...it took time finding the disco and the music was poor until the last night...the music was not catering for all cultures. Concideration should be taken that people are on the cruise as a mini break and not forced to ...
