To begin, I’ve sailed >5 times on Disney, Norwegian and Carnival so I have some cruising experience.
That being said, it is hard to give an accurate rating to MSC because of their amazingly low prices. One should almost EXPECT to get “nickel and dimed” to death. The problem was that this “penny pinching” sorely distracted from my cruising experience.
For example, passengers are offered ...
Firstly, this ship is too big with far too many people onboard and not enough staff. Unfortunately this cruise was during half term so the pools were taken over by children who even had their own blow-up toys in the water. Not enough seating in the public areas. Sunbeds on the decks are almost touching each other. Poor service in the dining room. Wine is served to you already in a glass and not by ...
Least favourite of Princess ships. Food is of poorer quality even though the dinner menu is the same on all Princess ships. ventilation system is extremely poor. Did they forget about COVID on this ship. Had many issues on ship but these were addressed quickly ie. shower didn’t work, food was cold in dining room and dirty balcony with broken glass. I am now officially turned off Princess cruises. ...
The MSC Seaside is a nice enough ship, we saw good entertainment on board, and our excursions purchased through MSC were great. We chose the ship because of the itinerary.
The FOOD on MSC, however, was a massive disappointment- our rating score reflects how we feel about our food experience.
Both in the Main Dining Room and in the buffet, our food was often not hot enough, bland, or ...
The room looked nice but opened the curtains to the balcony and turned around to see hair from previous guests everywhere and something had been spilled all down the front of the table and fridge. Nothing seemed to be sanitized ( same dirty rag to wipe down tables without a spray of disinfectant on all outside deck areas and the Eatery tables). In the Eatery breakfast and lunch served the same ...
Avoid E504 like the plague. The noise in this cabin was like a trapped poltergeist trying to escape from inside of the cabin walls. The banging noise was frightening. This only happened at sea. It took loads of complaints and after 8 days we moved to a quiet cabin. This problem affected quite a number of passengers in the lower/middle ship area. Disembarkation was terrible, its was running over ...
I really do not know where to start with my review of the Northern Cruise with MSC.
We have cruised with a few other cruise lines and I can honestly say that this was worse than being stuck in a Fawlty Towers sitcom Hotel/Butlins.
Initially I had read several reviews from various sites in regards to the cruise we had chosen, and I honestly thought that surely it could not be that bad? Oh ...
I want to give a fair review although this is the worst of my cruises after their staff refused to return items we lost in the cabin.
We ended up on this cruise for the last minute due to change of other travel plans. Before booking I read all the negative reviews of this cruise company and viewed many youtube videos with ship tours, and most of them quite neutral. I thought I knew what to ...
Previously cruised all the destination. On another cruise line so thought we would try silversea. This was a complete disappointment from a food and experience point of view. This was the worst food with one exception. The pizza dining on deck 11.
Entertainment was so repetitive and dull.
Crew and staff made it bearable.
Nothing like 6 star line, more like 2 star. Service in ...
We sailed with Regent Seven Seas in January and had a direct comparison.
Cost of cruise was very similar on both lines .Best part SS was the cabin and butler .They did not provide food requests we emailed in January due to Health and medical issues yet they acknowledged the email and confirmed the food would be on board my husband is diabetic.Food was less than mediocre we could not get into ...
