"So we had arranged for wheelchair assistance before boarding the ship, but we never had imagined the long and awful bumpy journey to get from the YC to the restaurant, twice a day once for lunch and again in the evening for dinner.The journey took around 15 minutes every day, which included 2 lift rides, travelling 350 metres through a variety of bares and 18 quite significant bumps in the floor, where fire protection doors had been installed...."Read More

1-10 of 45 MSC Preziosa Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to the Mediterranean from Genoa
The Yacht Club is a brilliant concept, including both boarding and disembarking which is extremely well organised and we had 5 weeks previously on the MSC Virtuosa, where we had found the YC to be a completely self contained ship within a ship, this is not the same on the Preziosa.
Let me first explain that both my wife and I both suffer from walking difficulties, we are both over 85 years of ...
After reading so many negative reviews of the MSC Preziosa, our entire family felt that we have to share our great onboard experience.
We boarded the ship in Genova, a quick and effective process which was started even earlier than announced. The rooms were also ready early and our cruise cards perfectly prepared in the cabins.
The Preziosa is a big ship but well designed and the signage ...
Choose a short cruise as a break between our longer holidays. Overall we had a good time the Preziosa is a nice ship very similar to the Meraviglia that we sailed on in Jan 2018. Our Cabin 11011 was a good cabin, great location with a very comfy bed. Nice and spacious and plenty of stowage. Lacked hooks around the cabin having said this I would not let this stop me from booking into this cabin ...
Staff rudeness and experience:
-Our party of 6 were split to a table of 4 and share a table of 6 with another party of 4. The other party of 4 agreed to switch table so they can have a private table and we 6 can dine together. After making arrangement with the Dining Room host who said it is fine and he will send info to our cabin. The next evening we were asked by 3 different staff, including ...
The ship
The MSC Preziosa is one of 4 “Fantasia” class ships in the MSC Cruise Fleet. It started it’s life as a ship ordered by the Gadaffi Regime in Libya.The original vision for the ship was to include a huge shark aquarium and a host of other unusual features. After the revolution the regime defaulted on payments. MSC Cruises bought the hull, as it was similar to their “Fantasia” Design ...
The ship itself is wonderful with lots of glass & see through as well as really nice interior. It includes several pools and different areas for relaxation. We also liked the various bars that played live music.
We chose a cabin with a window within the fantastica level, as it was situated on the 8th deck right above the reception area it allowed us fast access even when the lifts were too busy ...
New Zealand couple, first trip to Europe. First MXC cruise. We loved this cruise. Excellent value for money. We were Fantasicia class.
Our room: 11189, balcony port side.
Spacious, modern, well designed. Comfy beds, large couch, 2 big mirrors, ample space. The bathroom was excellent with great water pressure, lots of storage. Our room attendant Larysa from Ukraine was fabulous and very ...
We had never been on a cruise before and MSC at the time of us looking offered a great special of $1.00 plus port fees for the second pax traveling. we decided that the MSC Preziosa would be the best choice to travel on as it suited our dates of travel, where it was going and because it was rather large and modern.
We got a balcony cabin-Fantastica package and purchased a drinks package on ...
We chose MSC for a special birthday for my husband, also taking along as a surprise our grown up children & their partners on our 10th & there 1st cruise. We were all very excited and hoping for a truely lovely special cruise with us all together. How wrong we were. It was a great disappointment. I can honestly say that our children were put of cruising completely. Staff didnt make sm talk or ...
YC1 suite 15032 on MSC Preziosa.
This suite is the last on the starboard side on deck 15, nearest the lifts (although no noise issues at all) and immediately to the right on entering the Yacht Club. You can only access the Yacht Club on this deck via your cruise card and need to turn left along the corridor past the suites towards the central concierge area and Top Sail lounge at the bow of the ...
