. . we have just been on MSC Preziosa 30th April - 15th May . . . brilliant cruise, beautiful ship, good food, friendly staff, great entertainment and theatre shows . . . and a free premium drinks package - what’s not to like ?
We have been on over 20 cruises with P&O, Princess etc, and this goes down as one of the best.
On a few points that people have mentioned :-
1/. No need to hang ...
I chose because of the low cost. unfortunately I got what I paid for. After more than 10 cruises with other cruise I can't tell how disappointed I was. The issue started before I left home. Calling MSC you have 2 choices 2 for new booking or 3 for existing booking. If you choose 2 someone answer within 30 seconds, but if you choose 3 then no one ever answers. I tried several times no luck. Then ...
We chose this Cruise for the Itinerary and because we had previously had 3 Good Cruises with MSC.
We took a North Europe cruise on the MSC PREZIOSA from Souhampton. The following review is, I feel, very fair with the Pros AND Cons.
We arrived at the Terminal to face a queue of “well-over” an hour – there was one security entrance – BUT people returning from a trip ashore were “filtered” ...
The itinerary was what prompted me to take this cruise, the ship was luxurious and the staff very professional.
The average rating comes from the main dining room food, small portions, and average quality.
Some excursion staff is sadly lacking in experience knowledge and organization!
Missing excursion tickets, after several attempts and frustrating times dealing with the excursion ...
This was my first cruise on MSC and I should have paid better attention to the reviews. There were so many things wrong, the list is long:
1. Food. I was on the ship for 15 days and the same cold breakfast buffet was offered everyday. There is no service in the buffet unless you pay for items from the buffet bar.
2. Be prepared to add the cost of water, tea or coffee in the main dining ...
I Wanted to try MSC and see what i thought,I had done 5 cruises on them but not for 7 years. sadly you cannot carry over your points so from BLACK i was NOW SILVER.
PRE CRUISE.
I Flew on RYANAIR from STANSTED AIRPORT to HAMBURG got train to HAMBURG and found my hotel very close the station. I had to walk up stairs to get to the RECEPTION to check in and get KEYS then a lift to the 4th floor ...
We joined the MSC Preziosa in Hamburg for the west European cruise visiting Le Havre, Southampton, St. Peter Port, Brest, Lisbon, Cadiz, Malaga, Vigo, Rotterdam and back to Hamburg.
This was our first time with MSC and we booked the Yacht Club (YC).
The embarkation experience with the separate YC welcome lounge and being accompanied through security and through to the YC concierge was a ...
Myself , My Partner & My Parents Done a Back to Back 8 day cruise on 22nd April 2018. We arrived at Southampton and joined the ship very easily our rooms where ready and all our details where checked very well.
We had a easy Drinks package and was surprised of the lack of choice on this package included however I did include the drink my partner mainly drank that was until half way through ...
Dates fitted our holiday window, so we gave it a go.
Lead up all went good, emails and info supplied.
Boarding was swift and free from issues. Met by friendly staff and went to our cabin.
Cabin was small but found it to be cosy and well equipped.
We had our first evening meal in the Lobster restaurant. We had different meals and found the food to be far from restaurant fair. Mostly ...
What we liked :
- Beautiful ship
- Cabin is fine and was kept very clean, the cabin steward did a great job.
- Disembarkation was very smooth, we were allowed to stay on board till around 10 o'clock which is appreciated.
What we disliked :
- embarkation was bad. We arrived around 13:00 and was not even allowed to get into
the departure building and had to wait in the waiting ...
