Ok, first time giving a review but wanted people to know not to believe all the bad reviews for MSC.We have cruised more than 35 times on almost every cruise line. We decided to try our luck with MSC because of the price expecting the worst. What a surprise - turned out to be one of our best cruises! Embarking & disembark-super fast and easy- staff were great food was pretty darn good- dining ...
This was my second cruise, but first with Virgin voyages. Loved the overall experience and vibes on this ship. Food wasn’t the greatest, far as selections to choose from and taste wise. Some of the choices were a bit on the dry side. I didn’t like having to keep track of my bar tab for drinks, to keep track of what I had left. I purchased $850 total in bar tab, this included bonus bar tab, too. ...
Virgin is a wonderful cruise experience! The food is amazing and the entertainment is top notch! Cabins are spotless and the entire ship is clean and well maintained. The crew is friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
This was my second cruise on Scarlet Lady. I came back because I loved it so much.BUT…. I was so disappointed that the seamless embarkation process was gone this time around. Our ...
Now look-I am not an inexperienced cruiser – this is now my 16th cruise in the past eight years. But I’ve cruised enough to know what I like and what I don’t like. Lady is a bit of a mixed bag, and here’s why:
Embarkation- this was really messy and left a bad first impression – we arrived about an hour and a half before our scheduled embarkation time. That’s not unusual – when you arrive in ...
The wife and I took our 10th anniversary cruise (and first cruise ever) on the MSC Divina. We were originally going to try Virgin, as the kiddos were staying home with the grands for this one, but by the time we booked Scarlet Lady was full. MSC caught our attention from YouTube and online research. The price point was hard to beat and we weren't looking for a megaship for our first time out so ...
The ship is one of the older ones, I believe it was built in 2002. The outside shows the age, but has been updated very nicely inside. The entire ship was very clean and nicely maintained. The rooms are exceptionally clean and spacious with comfortable beds. We had a suite with a balcony and it was a perfect size for the three of us. It had a king size bed, or you could request two twins, and a ...
Let me give you all some background so you understand the perspective we are coming from. My husband I are both millennials and have almost exclusively sailed on the so-called “ultra-luxury” lines, i.e. Regent, Silversea, Crystal and Seabourn as we prefer the small ship experience. Since childhood, my husband had always wanted to take a transatlantic cruise. Thanks to the fact that ships are ...
Nice cruise! Lost two ports due to bad weather. Royal Navy Shipyard and The Azores. First time on Vista. Cabins are not sound proof! We could hear our neighbors loud and clear! Horizons has changed no coffee machines and no food! Also coffee machines continued to be out of order in the concierge lounge! Loved the new Embers restaurant. Staff was excellent! Cabin was very nice had a concierge ...
Enjoyed our Mother-Daughter cruise. Our goal was a beach-focused cruise for 22 year old and 56 year old. We’re both experienced cruisers and have sailed Royal before as it was our family’s choice for family cruising when daughter was younger. Recently husband and I have moved back to Celebrity so i couldn’t help but view this cruise through that lens.
The good:
Staff was enthusiastic and ...
Overall this is an absolutely amazing ship..leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in the RCL, NCL, or Carnival lines. We are two late-twenty/early-thirty childless females who have been on 20+ cruises and this is by far our favorite ship. It truly is unlike any other and feels like every inch of the ship was considered. We were told this sailing was one of the first at full capacity and, save ...
