This was our first time on an MSC ship having previously cruised with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Cunard & Princess.
It's safe to say they do things a bit differently on MSC but this cruise was a lot cheaper than our previous cruises and the itinerary was unique and the main attraction for this holiday. Overall it gave us value for money, especially the pre-booked drinks package and photo ...
The excursions, terrible and very expensive. We have not been able to enjoy a "Caribbean beach". The ones we were taken to were so artificial and crowded. We returned from the excursions, organized by the same cruise, and the restaurants were closed, deplorable. You had to queue up for over half an hour to finally get a piece of pizza, or a hamburguer.
Meal times not adapted to the different ...
We have cruised with many companies and this has been the worst. Nothing to do with the places we visited - Cuba, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Cayman Is and Jamaica, they are all amazing. The booking itself was stressful and I needed to send emails to various departments to get anything resolved - who puts a family of four two decks apart on different ends of the ship??And on the ship many staff are ...
I chose this cruise as it offered great value for the solo traveller. I found the ship to be very clean and well presented and well equipped. The staff are so friendly and professional and a great laugh. There is a good variety of dining options and plenty of choice at a 4* hotel standard. The drinks inclusive package offers exceptional value for money in a way that is more relaxed than on other ...
My first cruise in June '18 - booked late - within 3 wks of departure, through Iglu. Travelled with my sister whose husband was unfortunately unable to go with her due to illness - hence late booking, Sister is seasoned 'cruiser', having been on at least half a dozen - one of which had been with MSC in the Med.
Having read various reviews both before & after, I have to say I was more than happy ...
We chose this cruise because of the unique itinerary, which included 2 nights spent in Havanna, Cuba. We loved the route (Havanna-Montego Bay-Cayman Islands-Cozumel) and found MSC Armonia to be a cozy ship. Sure, the ship shows signs of wear and tear but we actually enjoyed sailing on MSC's smallest (and oldest ship). The public areas and restaurants never got crowded and it did not take many ...
I was looking for something special for my birthday trip but had specific dates.
I searched and found the Havana Cha Cha Fly Crusie from Melbourne, with three nights in Mexico City including the Pyramids and City tour all flights, the cruise and one night on land in Havana.
It was perfect, places we had not visited, the right dates and price.
After booking, I was concerned after reading ...
Thought it would be wonderful experience Havana is a fabulous place to visit felt very safe but msc cruises are sadly lacking in service and attitude of staff is quite appalling compared to other cruise lines. If you have a problem they just don,t care toilet not working in cabin took 2 days to fix ,no help if you fall ill at airport beware you will be on your own to fend for yourself and organise ...
This cruise cam up on the site of Passion for Cruises, a firm that I have used before as a solo passenger & whop have always given me good honest assistance but this time fell foul of others shortfalls. The travel details were from Gatwick to Madrid & then on to Havana. Got to Gatwick early using the train which was far cheaper than travelling by car & paying parking fees. Through Customs & waited ...
I choose to book our cruise with MSC for the following reasons... Cuba, Itinerary, price, duration. We took a 2 week cruise on the Armonia visiting Havana, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Roatan Island and Grand Cayman. Our package included inside state room all inclusive. We flew from Gatwick to Havana with Air Europa with a change at Madrid. Transfer from Madrid was super quick and without hassle. ...
