Genoa First-Time Cruisers Cruise Reviews

Summary: Good vs. Bad These are just things to be aware of - some of them aren‘t easily changeable, some are management issues. Good Food quality in the buffet restaurant. Really quite new and showing it. Cirque du Soleil on board. Bad Ship design and construction: There are many issues with the way the ship was designed and built that I found to be quite negative as compared ...

So this was my third cruise, our first with MSC which we embarked in Genoa for our honeymoon around the Mediterranean. Firstly the ship is amazing and our room was lovely, we had everything we needed but unfortunately there were not many other positives things we encounted on our cruise. The majority of the staff were unpleasant, shuffling around, generally miserable and you felt as if you asked ...

I was looking forward for this experience with MSC having travelled with other companies in the past. first the sweet: The ship is new and looks very well kept, the cabin was really nice, the staff is trying to help whenever you need any help, the entertainment shows were excellent. Bitter: when you board, the staff is telling you that drinks are not included on board (not true there ...

I signed up before I had read the reviews. If you want a great itinerary on for a cheap price MSC Meraviglia is a good deal. However, expect to get nickel and dimed to death. They even make you pay for water in the dining room. In your room the only TV channels are news or ship information and sales. Movies on the TV cost 8 euros. There is nothing to do on the ship that doesn't cost. But when you ...

I wanted to try MSC but had not read many reviews. This was a new ship (sailed Nov 2017), and the itenirary was right. We booked a balcony aurea. Room was tipical of cruise ships, shower was better due to glass door. Closet space was the smallest we have encountered. We dont stay in cabin to much so it was OK. Food was ok but not excellent, except sweets which we thought were the best part ...

after reading mostly bad reviews before we sailed on this ship we were a bit concerned especially regarding the food , however although food did not come up to the standard and choice of our previous cruises on NCL, there was always something tasty to eat in the buffet and the main restaurant. Portions were small in main restaurant as mentioned in other reviews , but all you have to do is order as ...

Embarked in Barcelona. All well and organised. Once on board we noticed that we were all seated at different dining tables (we were 3 cabins traveling together with linked reservations). This problem could not be solved until the next day, so, we had dinner in the Buffet restaurant and that went well. Food was fine. Bit crowded - but - with 6000 + passengers it is to be expected. 2nd Night we ...

The only good thing about this experience was the ship,the food is horrible, they nickel and dime you Cabin is extremely small. Not enough space for storage even just two persons. Our friend with four family members had a same size cabin. Keep in mind, the crew ration of this new ship is 3.8-3.9. While the other cruise lines keeps crew ration around 2.8-3.0. , room was small could not fit cloths ...
