We chose this cruise because it visited all but one places we had not been to. Having travelled on the MSC Opera we knew what to expect and then it was a good trip with the only short falls being the way it catered for mainly non-UK guests.
Embarkation went reasonably well, very very busy at Valencia, people jostling about and queue jumping, checking in cases then queueing again. Disembarkation ...
This was my second cruise with MSC (first one was in August 2014 on Fantasia).
We travelled with 2 kids (aged 4 and 2) and I missed having a specific pool were families with small children could stay (with deck chairs, bar, etc). The small covered kid's pool in most of the time in the shadow and the water is cold.
The opening times of the kids' club for children under 3 is really scarce. ...
We always book a nice veranda room but were lucky to be upgraded to the Yacht Club with a suite.....great room...concierge and staff couldn't have been more helpful...private butlers when ever needed. Fully stocked mini bar topped up every day for free, which along with the endless drinks package is always good......boat was on time to every port with long enough port stays to see the highlights ...
I am from Maryland, USA and my wife and I wanted to celebrate our 25 year anniversary in style. You definitely want to get the upgraded suite, we were in room 12226 at rear of ship but on right side. Sun rises were excellent. The room was so large more than 200 SF! With a walk in closet bigger than ours at home. My wife Anita is so jeolous and wants a bigger closet now! LOL. There are people ...
I embarked the MSC Splendida in Marseille on Jan 28, which was also the Chinese New Year’s day and so there was a sizeable contingency of Chinese passengers. It was actually the last night of the itinerary when I embarked, as the majority of guests had embarked in Genoa, so on my embarkation day I enjoyed the gala dinner and the show ended with the crew parade chanting ‘time to say ...
Just returned from our 5th MSC cruise yesterday on Splendida and once again great value for money, excellent customer service, very good food and stunning spotless ship. Such contrast to the very disappointing cruise we took with P&O in November for which I have done a separate review.
I have taken 15 cruises overall over 9 years with 6 cruise lines and MSC is my first choice line now for it's ...
We are just back from our week on MSC Splendida. In spite of being winter, we loved it and had a lovely time.
The ship is huge and its beautiful and it shines from its cleanliness, we’ve been already in Poesia and Fantasia.
Loving the food, we don’t eat that much and we manage to “stay fit” just walking around the ship.
We had our breakfasts on the buffet and went twice to breakfast in ...
I am very impressed with this cruise company. MSC did very well to make our cruise a great and pleasurable experience.
The good point: Excellent Food, Excellent Accommodation, Amazing service from all the crew staff. Very friendly and always making sure we got the best product and service.
The punctuality of the actual ship, always sailed at the prescribed time, arriving on time. Allowed us ...
There has been so many negative reports on this cruise line and ship.
From boarding to disembarkation all went smoothly and was well enjoyed.
We did the Allegresimo Premium package, and wow it was was worth it. Totaling up the receipts at the end we had more than doubled what was paid.
The food was a bit repetitive but enjoyable and the only problem was the mini bar as only one item of ...
