Ironically, MSC never sent me a post cruise survey, and I am truthfully not surprised. The first big red flag for me was the cleanliness of the ship. My stateroom was not as clean as it could have been. I had to take my sanitizing wipes to wipe down my room, as their was some sticky substance on the desk. I also noticed that the buffet table servers on this ship NEVER wipe down tables after people ...
We just disembarked from this cruise and we feel SCAMMED.
Be ready for subpar service, a rundown ship, a truly awful excursion selection (and team) and a terrible schedule.
Communication is at a minimum on the MSC Armonia - we ended up being booked on a WeightWatchers cruise. Be careful booking with MSC, the WW participants were kind - but imagine if they book a less hospitable cruise ...
Anyone reading my other reviews will know that I am a huge fan of Regent, we have met many lovely people over the years, welcomed them to our hoes and even gone to their weddings. As Cruise Critic makes clear in its own review of the Voyager, the make up of the guests are generally well educated, well travelled people and they choose Regent because they will meet likeminded people.
The ship, ...
The cruise was chosen because of the destination. I was very interested in going to Havana, Cuba. We booked a personal, private tour there which was fabulous.
We did not get to Great Stirrup Key because of rough seas. Since we had to tender to the island it would have been dangerous. Having had a dangerous tender experience on a Norwegian cruise years ago, I was very happy to just have ...
We originally chose this cruise for late 2019 purely on its itinerary but they cancelled it on us.
We then had to search and rebook, having to bring the trip forward as well as carefully choosing a cabin on a deck that would have a good view from the balcony close to a lift which would be near the buffet restaurant as my wife and I have difficulty walking.
We were downgraded to a lower deck ...
My family and I took recently took a cruise with MSC and the experience we encountered was the worst I've ever had. To give you some background, we took this particular cruise to celebrate a family members retirement. Altogether it was 37 of my family members on this ship. The first day on the ship we walked in the room into the bathroom and there was a strong urine smell ( by the way the urine ...
Hidden fees, old, small and low grade ship quality. Longgggg tender waits. Short port stops, high money conversion rates. Longggg multiple language announcements. Poor itinerary communication. Extremely small stateroom with window. To little closet space for two. No shelving for clothes. Bathroom two small for one person without soaking floors, walls and towels. I am 160 lb...Armonia has no bells, ...
We have done 35 cruises with 6 different cruise lines and over 700 nights at sea, and this was the first and last cruise with MSC. WHAT A DISASTER! Our safety and health were seriously at risk with MSC. On every other cruise every guest getting on the ship and at every port, also at the entrance to all the restaurants, had to have hand sanitiser on their hands, NOT MSC. Hygiene was shocking. ...
From top to bottom, bow to stern, this ship and MSC in general fail.
No, that's not true. Jason in the dining room and one guy at the coffee bar were good.
The rest of the crew are all relatively indifferent to service while the management is downright hostile.
Food is consistently bland, lacking in choice and not usually the correct temperature. The Surf and Turf specialty restaurant ...
We took a cHavana cruise on dec 2018 starting and ending in Havana. As the trip included new-years eve it was very expensive. As we entered the ship we immediately understood that it was a big mistake - you will see why:
1. Onboarding
The ondoarding process is all on paper, No sea-pass or Card that is actiavted once you are registered. That has to be done on a Kiosk - so you have to ...
