The first time was fantastic! This time was awfull! Bar service was not nice! Food taste like rubber and old! Some of our restaurant food was excellent and the next night awfull! The only place we enjoy was the irish bar where Vernon was singing! Thank god the smoking was stop there! I am a coffee lover but the coffee bar only opens at four in midday! It was surpose to be my birthday present but ...
We chose this to celebrate a 60th birthday. We all had to save for a long time so so excited as I had been on board before and loved the whole experience. However unbeknown to us the Op die Water took over there was no entertainment at all in evenings for the English and we were ready to get dressed up every night booked the early dinner so we could go to all the shows etc. so disappointing and I ...
We chose this cruise as we thought it would be a great family holiday. Right from the begining of booking the cruise we were asked to change our date as the cruise we requested had been booked out by a company. Once we chose another date, we could not get a cabin for a family of 4 & were asked if we would have 2 seperate rooms which we declined. After taking it to the MD we got a room for the 4 ...
Returned from an MSC Meraviglia cruise yesterday (April Fool’s day, funnily enough) - very disappointed with our trip. If you’re thinking about booking with MSC, and trying to ignore the bad press they get in feedback comments, then don’t. They are realistic, warranted and true. Don’t do it – find another cruise line and save yourself a lot of money, grief and stress. MSC seem to be interested ...
This is our 26th cruise and it ranks as one of our worst....
Pros
Thermal spa was great
Honours other cruise line’s loyalty programs
Ship was new and clean
Cons
Food too salty, and the pizza was limp and soggy. The restaurant’s menu was limited and the quality of the dishes was inadequate. It was always tough to find seats in the buffet as they always seem to close off sections ...
I've been on the cruise in 2011, which was really good. I thought I will do it again, but was highly disappointed. The no care attitude of the crew, their rudeness, arrogance and incompetency made me to regret that I've ever booked the cruise in the first place. Herewith some of the incidents:
a. When I received my confirmation booking, I saw that we were booked for the second dinner ...
It was our first cruise, not only for us as a couple, but for us as a family. Unfortunately, the first, and the last...
I will start with the good first... The servers in the Galeone Dining facility was fabulous! Always had a smile and a joke for the kids, probably the highlight of our trip.
We visited the kiddies entertainment/play areas. At first we were told that we would have to ...
This was the second cruise on the MSC Sinfonia. The first cruise was amazing but this one was terrible. Book a cruise for my family. When i get on board i see there is a company function happening on board. That was not the problem. Almost the entire cruise there was only afrikaans music playing. I think that was unacceptable. Also staff on the ship where unhelpful and service at restaurants was ...
As we have some cruise experience (Holland America, RC, Princess, Costa, Viking, Aida) and have travelled with MSC (Fantasia) before, we spontaneously decided to spend a week on MSC Meraviglia. Prices seemed more than reasonable and as we planned our trip for March we knew we were not coming back with a tan, so opted for an interior cabin without balcony. The weather wouldn't be permitting ...
For a vacation. We were very disappointed with this cruise, we have saved for a year to go on this cruise, and did not even get to go on the Island. My personal opinion, and that of many of the passengers on the same cruise that we were on, feel that we should at least be compensated in some way or the other. The food is actually very average, and the drinks are very expensive. The staff were ...
