MSC Magnifica Cruise Reviews

I was on the cruise based on Winter’s fantastic retreat. The cruise ship, though remodeled, had pockets to reflect, but overall, it was an old, standard, confusing layout ship. The food was awful, with not much variety. I agree with previous posts; the best item was Pizza, better than most cruise lines. I can deal with mediocre food on cruises, but the service was mediocre at best. I would give ...

Have sailed twice on MSC and enjoyed yacht club. We booked a suite on deck 9 and had the Top 16 area to enjoy. The suite had some rust on the bathroom and the plastic shower curtain I had thought was a nasty memory from the past. I’m a size 4, 5’3” and had difficulty managing to shower. The bed was comfortable. Balcony was small. The TV channels are limited and CNN just doesn’t offer unbiased ...

So, I've only cruised with MSC, so maybe the reason why I love MSC is because I have nothing to compare them with. But I'm always really happy when I'm on their ships. This one...Magnifica...was the oldest MSC ship I've been on and you can tell from their other ships. The stairs don't have any sparkly crystals and there are not many hot tubs or other things to do during the day. This ship was more ...

My boyfriends' first cruise, so he didn't think it was so bad. I have been on only 2 others, both Carnival, and this paled in comparison. The boat itself and interior were totally nice!!! Not the issue. Issue is paying for an upgraded drinks package on a ship with a dozen bars and only 1-2 of them open for most of the day. The beer selection is a joke. One...ONE....bar had multiple beers on ...

The ship is pretty. However there’s nothing to do on the ship. They have over priced dollar store crap in their stores and minimal shows you can attended. Most other cruise lines have fun activities planned all day long. MSC doesn’t they have one major show that’s performed 2 times a night. Their staff is actually pretty rude too. The food is weird. On their island they served some odd items ...

We were pleasantly surprised with this cruise ship. Although a bit older (refurbished in 2021), the ship was nice and clean with many amenities. Our cabin (balcony) was really nice. Although not many restaurants as other larger cruise ships, it met our expectations for a five day cruise. Service was great and crew members were really nice. Our cabin attendant was very attentive to our request and ...

First observation when we arrived at the pool deck, no music, only a very disappointing 15-20 minute animated game throughout the cruise. we had to use our own speaker…. The pool was too deep, and the jacuzzi was overload. Chair was very dangerous and broken. The quality of the food has dropped significantly compared to Seascape. Almost no seafood etc and very basic menu. unfortunately only one ...

I chose this cruise line after hearing positive reviews from friends. However, they hadn't cruised on the Magnifica. My family and I were disappointed with the food and drinks offered. When ordering scallop ceviche, I received tiny shrimp on lettuce with no seasoning. I ordered gumbo and received chicken broth with clams and some rice. Drinks were inconsistent with many being either watered down ...

We have done a Christmas cruise on Carnival and RCCL, so we thought we would give it a try on MSC as well. We have been on four other MSC ships (Seaside, Seashore, Meravigilia and Divina). Pre-Cruise We flew in to FLL and stayed at the Wyndham Gardens the night before. The hotel had a shuttle that picked us up. options for food was a small restaurant area in the hotel, or a restaurant ...

We are seasoned cruisers and our 3rd time with MSC. Yes this ship is an older ship, but kept in near perfect shape. No there isn't a lot of activities that you'll find on the newer mega ships, but for the price, we felt it was an outstanding value. There are so many food options, I can't believe how negative the food reviews are. No this isn't a five star restaurant, but a nice deluxe balcony ...
