Fantastic first cruise experience, shame about the food and transfers
"We had choosen a balcony cabin on the port side and thought it very nice and comfortable (and had a lovely steward named Benny), but it also had a "serial vaper" in the cabin next to us, rendering it impossible to stay on our own balcony, due to all the smoke that even vrept into our cabin day and night.Portions were fine in size, but during the entire cruise we forgot to order side vegetables, due to us being so distracted by the hustle and bustle of the whole dining experience...."Read More

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on MSC Poesia

We booked the world cruise for 116 nights but are home now after the horror show put up by this cruise company. We decided to come back in 80days because,the ship kept on running out of food. No choice for vegetarians except for salad (which is good for cows not human being). Ran out of fruit juices. Cancelled 10ports. Food if ever it was available it was inedible as it was under cooked. ...

My husband and I embarked on this cruise, despite a radically changed itinerary, because MSC refused our request for a refund. However, our experience was so awful that we disembarked on day 20 of 85 in Walvis Bay, Namibia, and flew home from there. Better to forfeit the unused cruise fare than to continue to subject ourselves to the cruise line’s utter disdain for passengers and 65 more days of ...

Pros are supposed to go before cons, so I will put the positives first, but please don’t miss the negatives later in this review, because although there were a few redeeming qualities, make no mistake, I would never sail with MSC again.
First positive, all the staff below the managerial level deserve to be commended for being true, if not powerless, delights. We had many wonderful interactions ...

If I could give no stars I would. I joined a world cruise with MSC and have had nothing but frustration and grievances. If you are a parent I highly suggest considering another cruise line. A child was assaulted by an adult passenger and when the parents filed a complaint after bringing him to the medical center, nothing was done but a warning. The baby pool on the cruise was under maintenance ...

We are currently on this terrible cruise
Over 500 people on board have signed a petition protesting the way MSC are treating us.
1. So many sea days
Change of itinerary increasing itinerary to an extra 20 sea days, less port times, and no compensation for these changes or refunds of tax and port fees.
As compared to other cruise companies such as Cunard, princess, costa etc who have ...

MSC said the ship was refurbished in 2023 and they must be talking about the exterior of the ship. The public stairs lot dated with the teal and chocolate motif. The cabins are either navy or bordello red. The furniture in the cabin is worn, sun bleached and dated, think 90’s. Dining options are limited. There is the main dining room offering a selection of reoccurring average to say the best ...

Incredibly disillusioned
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We chose this world cruise excited to visit some of our bucket list destinations. While visiting Egypt became impossible due to conflict in the region we were still thrilled we would be going to Rhodes. But not to be. More than half the cruise has been made up of sea days with substandard destinations. Food has bern appalling with regular absence of fresh fruit, salad and now no coffee available ...

Would you like to feel like a hostage for 116 days? A modified itinerary without any compensation (The pyramids of Egypt replaced by Alicante in Spain) and this disdain reiterated with stopovers shortened or even eliminated! An anecdote: you should know that the tides change for the arrival of an MSC ship... even the moon still hasn't understood! another joke? Would you like to organize a private ...

Currently on MSC Poesia world cruise. MSC Customer service has been appalling…. No response to written correspondence sent to UK MD prior to embarkation (due to multiple itinerary route changes - some of which were due to the Red Sea conflict, others due to yellow fever, others due to, well who knows!!) as final itinerary changes were made just 48hrs before embarkation and no option to cancel. ...

The 2024 World Cruise was supposed to be the crowning jewel of my travel career (so far!)! This cruise has been a disaster. This World Cruise has many itinerary changes due to the events surrounding the Red Sea that affected so many other voyages. But, where others succeeded in passenger care, MSC failed miserably.
They refused to give any refund due to the itinerary change. They instead ...
