It was the worst cruise so far.food was bad ,customer service bad . Huge lines for food and bad tasting food. Only one place was serving food unlike other cruises which have food all over floors. Embarkment and disembarkment was so unorganized with huge lines and carrying our small totes also was hectic due to lines. Overall very bad experience and would never recommend this cruise ...

We recently concluded our 7-day Christmas cruise aboard the MSC Meraviglia. Despite having sailed with MSC multiple times (five times with Divina, two times with Seaside, and two times with Meraviglia, with four of those being during Christmas), we experienced significant disappointment on this occasion. I highly recommend those who have booked a Meraviglia cruise departing from Brooklyn to ...

We've sailed over 20 times, on a variety of cruise lines. This was our first experience with MSC. - The shows in the Broadway theatre were excellent! - Many months before sailing, we requested assistance boarding with our autistic son. They said a wheelchair would be provided for him to board. I let them know he's physically healthy and didn't need a wheelchair, just a person to help move ...

From the moment we arrived ar the port in NY we were treated with exceptional care. Convenient parking on-site and well organized baggage handlers to take luggage right from our car. We walked into a special entrance and were greeted by a welcoming staff and offered champagne, juice and snacks where we were provided with our wristbands and room keys. We were quickly escorted to our room. We met ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

As a first time cruiser with my family, this was a very disappointing experience. We seemed to be on a very full or even overcrowded ship. The rooms looked larger than what was portrayed. Luckily we purchased 2 cabins for four people and yet we still felt like the rooms should have been larger. The cost for the trip seemed too good to be true and it was. From the time you enter ...

Worst vacation of our lives-a disgrace

This was the worst cruise line we’ve ever been on. Please DO NOT choose MSC. We spent $3,000 for a holiday vacation and lived in squalor. We were supposed to have 3,500 people on our ship and we had 5,500. The staff was so stressed and under pressure, the buffet felt like a Black Friday door buster, tensions were through the roof, even in the complimentary restaurants the food was not edible. ...

The main reason my family and I chose this cruise was the price and it's close departure port. I have been on over 15 cruises on multiple cruise lines. This was first and last time sailing with MSC. Let me begin by saying the money we saved in cruise fare was quickly offset by hidden costs and aggrevation. MSC is a no-frills cruise company. They charge you for everything and anything and ...

I don’t like to complain about things like this but here it goes because it’s really bad. My first experience with this cruise line was when my whole family packed up for a 12 hour drive from Michigan to New York to hop on this cruise for Christmas vacation 1 hour into the drive we got an email from the cruise line saying we would not be going to the Caribbean for a hot Christmas vacation we would ...

A week ago, I sailed on the MSC Meraviglia from New York. The listing originally was a 8 day 7 night trip to the Bahamas. Prior to the trip, I checked the weather and it stated that it was going to be in the 70s. We anticipated warm weather so my mom and I packed up our suitcases in accordance with the weather. The night before the trip, we suddenly received notification that the ship will be ...

The cruise left port out of Brooklyn New York heading down to the Bahamas. As I found out a week later the cruise line redirected the boat up north as the weather was so rough. As it turns out it was not as rough as my cruise the week prior. We had 50+ knot winds. I'm getting on the boat the main dining rooms are not open so you have to eat an à la cart cafeteria style, there were so many ...
