we have just returned from a week cruise in Dubai with MSC , we have been on many cruises before but first time with msc . We were on a package which included drinks and a balcony cabin. Let me go through the best parts embarkation and disembarkation was quick and without a hitch , although before we got on the ship people were trying to sell us packages . The room was fine although a bath is not ...
This is our 2nd cruise with MSC and we honestly don't understand a lot of the negative complaints about MSC. I do admit that the food is average but that doesn't mean it is bad. The unlimited drinks package is great value at £23 per day. Can't understand why hot chocolate can't be included in it. We had no problems with communicating with the staff. The embarking and disembarking was very quick ...
Six of us travelled to Dubai for a brief stay before boarding MSC Splendida for a seven night cruise. One of the group chose this trip to celebrate a big birthday. We had three nights pre cruise then made our way to the cruise terminal where embarkation was smooth and quick. But not efficient, we had the all inclusive drinks with our cruise(code 431) already and all had paid 130 to upgrade to the ...
My wife and I chose this cruise because we had never been to the United Arab Emirates and also looking at the photos the ship seemed so beautiful (as indeed it really is).
Unfortunately, the joy of this new cruise was immediately interrupted when we saw the quality of the services offered on board.
Only the cleanliness of the rooms and service staff was at the level of other cruises with ...
My second time on Splendida. This time in the Middle East.
The ship has been on dry dock to be better prepared for the Asian market. Some improvements and all the ship lettering and communication including Chinese characters.
We chose this cruise for its itinerary and the MSC “fly and cruise” package option. It was a good choice.
It was our 4th time cruising with MSC and we knew what to ...
This was our 3rd time on Splendida and as we were in the Yacht Club previously we were a bit anxious. We sailed from Abu Dhabi and purchased the cruise through our local Travel Agent. It was an all inclusive deal with flights, transfers, cruise and drinks package. Our balcony cabin was a lot smaller than (Y. C.) but still a reasonable size. Cabin 10079.
Our Cabin Steward was Antonni and he was ...
I wanted to start and finish my cruise in Dubai as my daughter lives there. It was a bit daunting as I has never cruised before, but everything was made so easy. The organisation of this ship from boarding through to the disembarkation was done very efficiently. I particularly enjoyed the daily dance lessons of Vivi and Mejia, whose infectious encouragement made each lesson such a pleasure. ...
We chose this cruise for the Itinerary and decent price. I read a lot of bad reviews of this ship and cruiseline, and was quite nervous, but I came away from the cruise extremely happy with the MSC Splendida. Our interior 2 person cabin was typical and perfectly fine with excellent housekeeping. I loved the buffet food, for all meals. Went to the dining room only twice... its nice, but didnt find ...
Myself and wife booked this cruise because we wanted to cruise the Gulf..this would be our 3rd MSC cruise...but this one was totally insane.As Canadians we behave civilly and show respect to others....unfortunately the passenger make up of this ship are from various countries...and some are just pushy , uncivil rude obnoxiuos and unfriendly ...maybe they are just being gun shy(LOL)..I hope all are ...
Due to the excellent Status Match offered by MSC, we were tempted to try them as we went straight in at their top Black Card level.
Not one to do anything by halves, we booked a week on Splendida and a B2B on Magnifica for 2017 and just before our first MSC cruise, we found an amazing £700 per week deal for a balcony Yacht Club on Splendida in January 2018, so we booked a B2B.
I have to ...
