This was our first cruise experience - £599 including flights for 7 nights flying from Gatwick for a cabin with balcony. Long delay with British Airways but once we arrived at Genoa all went smoothly The ship is HUGE and orientating yourself about the ship isn't easy It is however spotlessly clean and staff are continually cleaning - day and night The food was disappointing - Luke warm and a ...

Having sailed on quite a few MSC cruises, it seems that overall service is deteriorating. Are the services bad? No Are the services good? No It is just all average...no more no less! It seems that management is only focused on a few things: 1.MSC Yacht Club, sometimes more than 5 all dressed up butlers where greeting the Yacht club members in port!! I'm sure most ...

This cruise was booked because of the price and the itinerary. We knew beforehand that we would probably be paying for everything except at foodtime. The Spendida was a lovely ship, and the number of ports visited were excellent. 9 ports in 11 days. We were only onboard ship for 2 sailing days and after visits to the different ports. There were some strange events happening aboard this ship. ...

Arriving at Nice !6th Decenber 2010 was not nice since no rep. was there to greet us, we were left stranded for about 2 hours with out any explanation. Eventually getting on a coach for the 2 Hour drive to Genoa, the coach had a toilet but was locked so we had to negotiate a stop where the driver took the opportunity to have a belated lunch and the passengers were left out side the coach waiting ...

There were so many things wrong with this cruise I feel I need to start with what was right: the rolls and breads were delicious, the cabin steward did a fine job and our luggage was already at our cabin when we arrived. Pretty much everything else was awful. Although I would not categorize it as a problem, it was interesting to note that shortly after our arrival in our cabin the steward ...

Nice boat ride, but a shoddy cruise

It was a nice boat ride but a shoddy cruise. We had read all the reviews on MSC Splendida and decided to try them anyway because we loved the itinerary and the price; the timing worked for us and we didn't need to gain any weight from too much good food. "Maybe it will be like a bus tour to a lot of terrific places" we speculated. As a result we were not unduly ...

We were very uncertain about this cruise even after we booked it. This was our 7th sailing with our other cruises being on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Costa. We are big fans of RC, but Costa was less than spectacular in our eyes, so we were afraid that MSC would be the same value. The other element for us was that we brought our 14 month old daughter on this cruise. We wanted to make sure it was ...

On 7 Feb 10, my wife and I board the MSC Splendida in the port of Genoa for a trip in the eastern Mediterranean. I chose the line since the ship seems new and beautiful and the price offered by my travel agency include three days in Rome with hotel. I entered the trip with eyes wide open knowing that it was an Italian line with different cultural approaches. The itineary included Israel and ...

While the MSC Splendida is a lovely ship, the culture is very different than most other major cruise lines.. For your reference, this was our 19th cruise and we've sailed on almost every major cruise line several times. This was our first trip on MSC and it will probably be our last. Here are the cliff notes of our experience. Pros: • Ship and the infrastructure - it's new and one of the ...
