I am going to start with the good things we found on this ship. It was absolutely beautiful! The lounges and sitting areas and the dinning rooms were really very nice.
There was always someone cleaning the brass railing. We were on the 12th. deck and had a balcony. The room was about the same size as most but the storage area was really nice with lots of drawers. They had real Italian Gelato ...
Ship was beautiful and sparkling clean, looks brand new
Decor is lovely, and even the hallways are light and attractive. This was my 3rd time on Poesia and she is as beautiful as ever and now some new additions and new things make her better than ever, especially for Americans
embarkation was the easiest ever, walk right on, we were there very early and away we go
Bought the prepaid wine ...
Just like her Sister ship, The Orchestra, The Poesia (pronounced PO-E-SEE-AH) Is a gorgeous ship! Spotless, modern and appealing to the eye!! Though the embarkation area was a bit tired (as it was in 2009) signs boasted a new and improved terminal was on the way (I think I remember those same signs!!) Once we finally got past the TSA....ahhh....people??? Embarkation was relatively ...
We were so surprised that our embarkation went so smoothly. We had booked the Poesia cruise first and then we discovered a wonderful deal to cruise on the Caribbean Princess that left the week prior to the Poesia. Our big concern was how would we get to the Poesia from the Caribbean Princess. We had tried to find out which piers the 2 ships were docked at but no one was able to tell us. We ...
We have gone on cruises with other cruise lines before and never had such an experience as we did on this MSC cruise.
The hygiene level of the crew needs to be improved. At the buffet service alone I never saw a clean cloth used to wipe down the tables when people left the tables and others sat down to eat. It had gotten to the point that I would wipe the table down before we would eat on it. ...
I am a seasoned cruiser and have cruised most of the mass market lines. I was attracted to MSC because of the value rates offered for single travelers. Yes, I did this one solo! Being alone I would be able to see all the negativity that you all are talking about, without worrying about someone else. Two weeks before the cruise I found a singles group of 33 members sailing together and I ...
My recent voyage on the MSC Poesia was my very first cruise, and I researched it heavily before we sailed via reviews from prior passengers. To anybody who is familiar with reviews of this ship, you will know that many of them were quite negative. This gave us some real concern, and we got out of the taxi at the port with a healthy mix of excitement and dread. Well let me tell you folks... the ...
This was an 18 day cruise with an extra 5 days in Germany. This Cruise Line had no idea of how to treat Customers.
The Reception Staff was rude with whatever question you had. We lost 2 nights of sleep crossing the Atlantic because something had come loose in the ship's bulkhead and was banging so loud every few minutes. We reported it to Reception the first night only to be told they ...
Since both my husband and I are seasoned sailors, we tend to prefer smaller ships; however, the price for a trip to Bermuda was right so we decided to go on this cruise. Let's start from the beginning!
Processing of passengers at the terminal proved to be a somewhat slow process in what felt like a huge warehouse facility. Photos were taken for I.D. purposes, then we hurried up and waited in ...
My wife and I recently returned from our 7-day cruise on the MSC Poesia (sailed 4/6/13). It was our second journey on MSC, (the first one being on its sister ship, the Orchestra), and truly one of the best cruising experiences we've had in recent years.
Our trip started on a sour note, unfortunately. We had booked the cruise through MSC's own travel agents. Although we were not able to use our ...
