Review for a Asia Cruise on MSC Bellissima

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

We cruised from 12/21/2023 through 12/30/2023 in Japan and Taiwan. Due to the winds, our departure got delayed by a few hours and as a result, there was only a technical stop in Osaka, at 11 PM, so that part was a bummer. The cruise added $100 per cabin to compensate, given the $2K/person cost paid, the $50 per person credit was not adequate. Food Buffet: The buffet on board is good, ...

About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 59th voyage. This is the second cruise on a back-to-back itinerary. MSC didn’t allow them to be booked as one continuous segment so the reviews are broken into two separate ones – each for their own cruise segments. I have sailed primarily on NCL with over 30 voyages and a handful of cruises with Celebrity, Royal ...

I might sound like an Australian whinger but after doing 10 cruises this cruise has to be the worst. This ship takes 5.700 guests but lucky there were only 1700 on this cruise otherwise it would be bedlam. Getting on board was ok we were treated to a buffet lunch which was rather ordinary and remained the same during the whole cruise. The restaurant we were assigned to was very nice but the food ...

From the outset of booking this cruise it was chaotic. Based in Australia I couldn't use the MSC portal and was directed to their Rome based staff. Correspondence came back in Italian and when I was given online access to my booking it was in Italian. Attempts to revert it to English fell upon deaf ears. I muddled through the booking process and got to embarkation. This was to be a 10 day cruise ...

The check in and boarding process was smooth and our deck 8 cabin with a balcony was more than adequate for 2 people. The food was way better than we expected and we enjoyed eating at our assigned restaurant each evening. The serving sizes were just right and the quality and variety more than satisfactory. The Market Place buffet was great for breakfast/lunch/ late night snacks. We did not try any ...

Arrived port check-in 08.35 (our allocated check-in time 09.00). Well organised, but all rather laborious (Covid vaccination certs, PCR test certs, Passports, Photo ID, make copies of various certs). Once on board some of the staff seemed a little uncertain. Had to join a very slow moving queue for Reception as my photo ID had failed to transfer to my boarding card. Arrived at our Aurea balcony ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I was a solo traveler during my cruise, and as such, I had ample opportunity to interact with the staff and crew. I would like to personally commend the following members, all of whom demonstrated the highest standard of service: My waiters, Dodik and Wirawan, for their attentive service and for constantly remembering every single one of my culinary preferences and habits. They made my dining ...

I have over 10 years of cruising history with over 20 cruises on various line. I have seen better and lesser conditions on cruises over that time BUT The cruise that I have just taken on MSC on the Splendida on Feb 14 has been an example of the worst that I have ever experienced. PRE Cruise: Information on what visas were required inconsistent to no information. My calls to MSC were met ...
