1-10 of 9 Hamburg to Europe MSC Preziosa Cruise Reviews
To start at the beginning embarkation took over 3 hours, 2 sat in the waiting area and an over an hour queuing, the luggage got to the room before us!
Muster drill was chaotic, people stood chatting and not everybody attended so it had to be repeated for them.
Main dining room menus were very mixed and not appetising, presentation was very lacking (fruit platter was 4 chunks of fruit with ...
We took a 3 night mini cruise which sailed from Hamburg, stooping in Le Havre, France and ending in Southampton.
I have cruised with MSC previously so pretty much knew what to expect, whilst I would sail with MSC again, the things I don’t like about MSC were far more apparent this time.
Embarkation with pretty easy, they have changed the process slightly; in the main terminal building they ...
I choose MSC without going through the reviews and that was a big mistake.
The only high standard other than the ship is the amazing staff which I believe that they are the most valuable asset. And if they they don’t take care of them they will loose them all.
The food is not to the standard as in other cruises I’ve been to. The same food offered in the buffet as for n the dinner seating ...
I Wanted to try MSC and see what i thought,I had done 5 cruises on them but not for 7 years. sadly you cannot carry over your points so from BLACK i was NOW SILVER.
PRE CRUISE.
I Flew on RYANAIR from STANSTED AIRPORT to HAMBURG got train to HAMBURG and found my hotel very close the station. I had to walk up stairs to get to the RECEPTION to check in and get KEYS then a lift to the 4th floor ...
I’m publishing this review four months after it ended, because of lack of time to write it. Still I think I have relevant experiences that could be useful for future cruisers. I boarded this ship in mid August in Hamburg, with my girlfriend and our 8 years old daughter. It took us to Iceland and Scotland.
Embarkation/Disembarkation
I cannot really say much about embarkation. Before the ...
Hello, MSC Preziosa was my third cruise (first with MSC) and we really hate but really hate the fact to have a new guest every day. I became unpersonal, no change to create a bond (a week bound)
Talking to the crew, express the same disgust feeling of the everyday embarcation because is hard for them to remember faces, country, languages etc.
We didn't know what we were taking. For sure ...
I was trying to book a NCL cruise to burn my deposit. Last year we went on their Baltic cruise. Copenhagen, Tallin, St Petersburg, etc. They have a Norway Fjord cruise but sold out pretty quick and it was pricey. Further searching we found MSC, cheaper and 1 extra day. Have never been on MSC, reading reviews it was 50/50. I can share why.
First let me say that I would go on another MSC cruise ...
We flew to Hamburg to join this cruise and were very impressed with the price. Boarding in Hamburg took forever.. we queued for at least 2 hours and we arrived early. The ship itself is beautiful and balcony cabin was lovely. There's plenty of bars and we always found someone to sit. Food was disappointing in the main restaurant. We had no rapport with our waiter who wasn't really interested..meal ...
Poor food. Very poor service in restaurant Golden Lobster Low.. Very slow service, wrongly deposited bottles of wine, bread service only by request and slow. Shore excursions extremally expensive. Some of them absolutely not interesting for example in Seydisfjordur. Transfer to the city in Reykiavki terrible expensive (should be free of charge). Some cruise crew are quite arogant. Towel service ...
