I chose this to visit the Christmas market in Hamburg and Antwerp and as a test run to see whether it would be worth booking a longer cruise. It certainly decided me that I would not make any further trips with Ambassador.
The administration from the head office is somewhat inefficient. I am still waiting for a full response the automatic acknowledgement promised me after I emailed them on ...
On this our third Viking River Cruise, we were unexpectedly disappointed and absolutely regretted our purchase. To begin, this nine day cruise itinerary already included four nights in hotels (2 Prague and 2 Berlin). When we were on the ship, the majority of time we were docked. In the five nights on board we sailed for less than 18 hours total.
The included itinerary was very thin. While many ...
I’ve cruised all cruise lines and MSC has to be the worst, Currently on MSC EURIBIA, My first and last time on MSC. small cabins, not enough staff onboard. Waited 40 mins to order a drink. Cabins not being cleaned, the noise in staterooms are loud, rude unfriendly bar staff. One good thing, it’s made me really appreciate Royal Caribbean. MSC have no idea how to run a cruise, they called this a ...
We loved our cruise in the Yacht Club and, I agree with a previous reviewer, that we may have had a better experience than others without this. Our restaurant was fabulous with amazing staff, especially waiter Onel and a helpful sommelier, Ljubica. We could eat whenever we chose so that was a perk.
We loved the port stops and enjoyed the MSC Christmas market excursion we took and the one to ...
The ship is beautiful and we had a Bella balcony cabin which was very spacious and a lovely shower HOWEVER - the adult facilities are not enough for the amount of passengers. We were not full at 4,900 and it takes 6,300 but after a show or at dinner time it was heaving along the shop area. The theartre is underused during the day - it is small compared to other ships of smaller passengers. Only ...
This was my 6th cruise and my first with MSC. I will try to keep it short.
The ship is stunning. I will however add that for a ship that is a couple of months old, lifts not working and automatic doors failing is strange. Anyway, for a walk around, it is beautiful. Our cruise was at 4800 passengers and capacity is 6000. If the ship had been full then I would have gotten off at the first stop ...
As former cold warriors, we chose this cruise to visit places we had been forbidden to travel while serving in what was West Germany. On our way to the ship, our very first thrill - walking across the Glieniecke Bridge, the bridge of spy exchanges near Sans Souci and Cecilienhof. It was cold and snowing. There was little traffic. It was the thrill of a lifetime.
From beginning to end, our trip ...
Got to say that for my first cruise it was an experience. The ship it's self is stunning, loads of amenities, staff where friendly an helpful, well most of them.
We ate at our designated restaurant, which was Fantastic. Our waiters, Parta and Etienne where amazing, their service and attentiveness was outstanding.
The pools and hot tubs/jacuzzis where on point.
My disappointments where the ...
Its my wife's birthday on the 26th November, so we always like to take a short cruise to celebrate the occasion.
We are frequent cruisers (70+) with Cunard/Princess/P&O and others, but since experiencing the MSC Yacht Club on the Virtuosa, immediately after Covid in June 2021, we now mainly only cruise with MSC, but it has to be in the Yacht Club.
For those of you who have never experienced ...
We boarded MSC Euribia on the 24 th November , initially it didn’t disappoint , it certainly had the wow factor . The Glitzy stairs , the mall with its animated colourful ceiling . The staff were friendly and welcoming .
Before long our cabin was ready , we were on deck 13 and had an upgrade to a deluxe balcony cabin at no extra cost . Again we weren’t disappointed the cabin was clean , ...
