Over 20 cruises with Celebrity.
No typical champaign greeting...No playing cards at the concierge. No invitations to anything.
The maitre de went far beyond the call of duty, as did the waiters...but all their fine service couldn't help the flavorless food and lack of choices.
The entertainment in the bars and lobby areas were tolerable, but the stage performances were lackluster. The ...

We chose the cruise because of the reviews but the fact is we had the opposite experience than what was projected via reviews be it YouTube or written. First, the bathroom in the room from what we saw and read were allegedly comparable to other cruise lines. This is not so I stand 5’4” 145lbs and couldn’t walk directly into the shower stall had to turn sideways and if you are 6’ plus there will be ...
This was our 3rd cruise with MSC - we traveled on the Klove cruise in 2015, 2017, and this past January.
This will be our last time with MSC - this past trip my husband and I traveled with my sister and her husband
Here are my notes…
Positive
Boarding was much simpler
Tarzon was very helpful at the customer service desk
Negative
Upon check in - sister & hubby were told ...
This was my first cruise on Norwegian. I expected a great experience but what we got was not that. First let me say that our room steward was wonderful. The beds are hard and as I am 4 months out from a knee replacement, I was having trouble sleeping on the hard mattress. My steward got an egg crate and put it on the bed which made a huge difference. He kept our room spotless. Next lets talk ...
Honestly the Butler service and the Yacht Club Restaurant Staff were outstanding, but the Food fell short during all events and to say Hot Dogs and Burgers were the best of the rest. The entertainment also fell short in the Seaside lounge as well as the Theater those shows were so below any show I have ever seen, the entertainment on the ship was at the Sports Bar. Also we had issues with our ...
Was recently on board for a convention as a first time cruiser. I was frankly hesitant as I’m not a big fan of crowds or lines or being trapped on a boat. So, I had a pretty low set of expectations..and unfortunately, my fears were realized.
Nothing on this trip made me want to go back on a cruise with MSC or any other cruise line. Entry/Exit was simple, and that was one of the best ...
I was on the cruise based on Winter’s fantastic retreat. The cruise ship, though remodeled, had pockets to reflect, but overall, it was an old, standard, confusing layout ship.
The food was awful, with not much variety. I agree with previous posts; the best item was Pizza, better than most cruise lines. I can deal with mediocre food on cruises, but the service was mediocre at best. I would give ...
I cruise multiple times out of the year and this cruise by far was the creepiest, weird and disappointing. Here's my reasoning behind why we felt this way.
Cons: 1. One of our port days was canceled which was Turks. We got a refund for $16...really.
2. Right before two of the major shows were canceled back to back we heard an announcement of an emergency, no follow up. If it's not for the ...
I’m not sure why this cruise got such high marks. It was just ok for me. In fact, I was ready to leave after day 3 and have absolutely no plans to return. First let me say the ship is beautiful, the technology was great and embarkation was fast and efficient. When we arrived on the ship we were met by someone on staff dressed in a pirates outfit that seemed less than enthusiastic. In fact, the ...
