A Disappointing Cruise

Critique of MSC POESIA 1/16/2010 Sailing traveler1019 Having viewed the virtual tour of the MSC POESIA prior to our sailing, my wife and I anticipated an enjoyable journey to the western Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale. In truth, the ship itself was magnificently appointed. The theater was high tech in all respects and we were really impressed. However, as it has been said, "Beauty is ...

We were four of a group of 13. Port was a nightmare when we arrived and staff ranged from bothered to outright rude. This includes talking about passengers behind their backs like they were idiots. Nothing about boarding was well marked, efficient, or pleasant. Even when I beamed a smile and thanked them and wished them a wonderful day. Our dining group got split into different times and dining ...

We just returned from an Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the MSC Orchestra and had a fantastic time. The ship is absolutely beautiful and we found the service to be courteous and friendly without being overbearing. This was our first cruise with MSC and we read many of the negative reviews prior to our cruise. We went with open minds and we had a wonderful time during our cruise. Embarkation ...

first...embarkation was a breeze it took less than 15 minutes and we were on board, no special lines, no special treatment, everything just WORKED. We started to board at 3:00 and was on board by 3:15. The ship is Beautiful...you could take any public room and put it anywhere and it would fit in in any city...These public rooms were bright (natural light) and cheery...there was Music everywhere ...

My wife, Mom and Sis-in-Law and I were on the 4/4/09 sailing of the MSC Orchestra. Connecting cabins 12105/12107. This was wife and my 10th cruise to include RCCL, HAL, CCL, NCL and Regent Rainbow [early 90s]. We have not had a bad cruise yet and that includes this one on the Orchestra. A beautiful ship with the best show theater we've seen on 10 ships, and with awesome shows. In my opinion ...

Ok, we just came back from the MSC Orchestra Caribbean cruise and I must say it was fantastic! What a great time and what a great ship! All those who have complained about the food, service, friendliness, etc. of the ship, I am not sure if you were sailing on the same boat as the rest of us. I would tend to agree with a few of the other critics here that the rudest people I encountered were the ...

On April 4, 2009, me and my family, a total of 14 people, boarded the MSC Orchestra not knowing what we were going to experience since it was our first time booking with MSC. We head heard from other sources that it was a newer ship and was supposed to be nice-looking as well. Well those 2 comments were correct, but wait until you here our story. EMBARKATION DAY: We found getting to the ship ...

MSC Orchestra Hits a Sour Note

First let me say that as a family having cruised many times on Royal Caribbean we may have set our expectations too high for this particular cruiseline. We had read numerous reviews prior to departing and decided not to cancel and go with an open mind. I'm still not convinced that was a great idea. There were four in our party, my wife and I, and our sixteen year old daughter and thirteen year ...

Let me begin by telling all the people that are worried about the negative comments............you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Just got back from a great family vacation aboard the beautiful Orchestra and had a wonderful time and have nothing to complaint about.........maybe a couple of suggestions but nothing more. Embarkation ...not a problem they must have 20 or so ...

We had 19 people aboard the MSC Orchestra on april 4th. We have all sailed many times before.We have never seen anything like this before, nor will any of us ever sail on MSC again. I guess the best way to sum this up is they made us feel like we were an inconvenience to be on their ship.The answer to every question was no and its not possible.I am well aware that the crew is european, but they ...
