MSC Bellissima Review
Rating by category
Additional details
-For my parents´ wedding anniversary we decided to sail on the Bellisima. After a night spent in Barcelona, visiting the Sagrada Familia, we took a taxi to the cruise terminal, which was quite far away from the city center (and the Sants Train Station). Embarkation was quite smooth and easy. Check-in was really fast, and doing it in the phone App is not really necessary. After 10 minutes of waiting, we could enter our cabin, guided by one of the butlers.
-The ship itself is stunning. The Bellisima Promenade is absolutley fantastic. The stores are quite expensive, but worth looking at them, especially the Chocolaterie, with stunning chocolate sulpture. Eventhough a couple of days are needed to adapt yourself to your new home, the MSC for me App and the many screens displayed throughout the ship help a lot.
-The Marketplace buffet was quite good. For breakfast there is a huge variety of Continental, English, Mediterranean, or even Oriental breakfast. There is free coffee, infusions and water at all times and free juice at breakfast. Our courtesy restaurant was Posidonia. The waiter was quite slow, and most days we took from 19:45 to 21:30, and we could not go to the 21:15 show. On one hand, the entries and main courses were Ok, not very tasty in most cases. But on the other hand, the desserts were extremely tasty and well made.
Cabin Review
Fantastica Balcony Stateroom
Small for four people, but really did not matter that much. Zoe, the digital assistant did not work properly. TV was Ok, with the MSC for Me App included. Room service and cleaning was very efficient and accurate.
Port Reviews
Genoa
Very good city, but very austere cathedral.
Naples
Pompei was very dissapointed.
Marseille
Marvellous city, but very far away from the port.
Barcelona
Port was far away from city. Sagrada Familia is incredible.
Malta (Valletta)
St John´s Concathedral is absolutley stunning and beautiful. Don´t judge it by its exterior.
