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 ...
About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 58th voyage. I have sailed primarily on NCL with over 30 voyages and a handful of cruises with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. This was my seventh MSC cruise and first cruise segment of a back-to-back on the MSC Bellissima. I have sailed on the MSC Seaside-class and Meraviglia before in the USA market and ...
Hadn't done MSC before. Would do again any time. So many pluses, take the plunge!!

- Rodrigo & Alexa - activities - talk to anyone - the best
- Lgarde - talked to us every dinner -came around plus on ship at different times - so good
- Agus - our server - so friendly - great service
Food excellent, service second to none.
Loved water park - no queus at ...
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 ...
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 booked this cruise 3 days before the virus hysteria started. I chose it because it was very cheap (about 40 euro person/day) with an Ok itinerary.
It turned out to be probably the best and definitely the most luxurious cruise in my life.
First of all, because of the virus MSC completely remade the first half of the cruise, making the itinerary much better than I initially booked. Instead ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary which included all the countries and ports I would like to visit. The night stop in the major ports enabled you to visit everything you needed in the time available.
Better than expected
For a ship with nearly 4000 passengers, there were few times int he 4 weeks when the public rooms were crowded, and with a slight adjustment in your plans you could ...
Because we want the reviews and feedback below to reach the right staff, we start with the address of the highest in rank!
Review:
We wanted to cruise to India
Not a tour in a group but an individual tour, so we could go our own way. And afterwards we could enter our clean cabin.
We have booked our excursions in the Netherlands at info@fstravel.nl, which was perfectly arranged to ...
Have cruised on MSC Splendida twice, both in Yacht Club, and being impressed by the good service in Europe I haste to return to see what's new as this ship is now deployed in China.
There is not much changes in the hartdware part, less Chinese than competitor ships. Most staff remain, particularly the good butlers. Heard that about 20% of staff are Chinese speaking and this helps to keep the ...
This was the third time that we have sailed with MSC, each time on a different ship and each time with the same verdict. Great. Quite why British reviewers generally slate MSC is beyond me. This is not Royal Caribbean, it is not Cunard, it is not P and O, it is MSC, it is an Italian Line, it has Italians on it. They are not British, they are Italian, they do not eat a full English. They do not ...
