Caribbean cruise to San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola with NCL. Overall okay but not worth the money. The pool was either closed or half full of water. When open, the water was ice cold. The big water slide was closed on the entire cruise. Paying an extra $1000 for family access to the Mandarin Spa, you would NOT expect it to be overfilled with people and the toilets not working. Paying through the ...
We have travelled Norwegian a few times and it has always been good - very underwhelmed by new boat expected more. We had booked a back to back and we were a little disappointed that we had. You had to book for shows never done that before and only found out later there was a standby line. Comedy shows very repetitive they need new material. Choir of Men amazing ! Beyond words made our trip! Kinky ...
I will start with a positive. The Ship was clean and pretty and getting on an off the boat could not have been easier. The staff did their job but weren't overly friendly. I laid my eyes on the cruise director once which was disappointing because I think they should be an big part of the cruise. I guess having Matt Michem from Carnival as a cruise director would be hard to ever beat. The ...
I traveled with my wife and adult children. I watched a lot of reviews but somehow missed that the encore shows and dining reservations fill up the first few hours. The 1st full day of the cruise almost every show was full. I did make one reservation for the teppanyaki restaurant before we left home, it was the best place we ate. The above information is what you need to know from this ...
Cruise Dec 8-15 2019 MSC Meraviglia Review
This was our second cruise, previous cruise in January was with MSC Seaside.
Cabin attendant Baal was excellent. He could not have done anything more to make our cruise experience better.
Photo studio female staff member was very rude when we asked which photos were included with the Fantastical package.
MSC private island Ocean Cay was ...
Been on almost every class of Ship in NCL took this cruise because it was a new and "bigger" Ship but is actually smaller much smaller in terms of public areas and comfort-ability.... With the front of the ship being the Haven and now much bigger and more expensive Vibe Club/Sun Deck and the back with the race track/laser tag everyone is like sardines in the center of the ship with not enough ...
After breakfast in the dining room the food was unacceptable. The buffet was exactly the same choices every day. They virtually had no pastry chef. Maybe three desserts at the buffet any given day. Even the pizza which on MSC was supposed to be great was awful. The ice cream at the pool was great we had it for lunch every day, it was ore like gelato. Staff very nice except you had to wait on ...
Poor experiences started with flight times that were booked. Flights were red eyes leaving us at the airport for hours on arrival and departure. Due do bad times I changed return transportation vouchers and rented a car I was only refunded 50% for the vouchers. Apparently, it was my fault the times were horrible. Even if we had done the Miami tour we would have been in the airport for over 5 ...
The MSC Seaside is an average cruise. Not horrible, not amazing. I’ll resume my experience in pros and cons:
Pros:
- It has toboganes de agua, they are very fun and free.
- The buffet food is good, although is not very variada.
- The Ocean Cay MSC Bahamas has an included buffet on the island.
- Most rooms are spacious and comfortable.
- Most of the staff is friendly.
Meh: ...
I should start off by saying that I've been on most of the major American cruise chains out there that sail out of Miami (Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity) on multiple sailings but this is my first experience with MSC, and it was a total disappointment compared to the other lines.
The Bad:
The embarkation process was slow and painful. There were huge lines at the new cruise ...
