7 day cruise on MSC Seashore March 17-24, 2024
For background we are a couple around 70 years old. Have cruised about 15 times on several lines so not novices, but not super cruisers.
Overall we had a good time, but many aspects of this cruise were confusing. We do not plan to cruise with MSC again.
First of all, the good.
Embarkation was smooth and quick.
Cabin was good as most. ...
This cruise ship and the staff are the best. They are professional in every way. My wife and I booked this cruise for our anniversary. Smooth process from day one of booking. We dined every night at the Manhattan. Food was great I have no complaints. Our server Marvin was polite and made sure we were taken good care of. The complete staff in the Manhattan restaurant went above and beyond. The ship ...
Ok so I had a fun time on this cruise but I have some things I think they should fix. Number 1 the elevators.OMG when the go there there is a screen pad the the deck numbers and when you click it they tell you which elevator to go to it’s A B C or D and the waits for the elevators to come to your floor are so unnecessarily long I’d say your waiting time for an elevator would be 5-10 minutes ...
It looks good and I have been on MSC cruise before and the price was good .so in return MSC greed use bad quality food to make up what a stupid strategy. More then few people on the ship felt the same I did We went with our friends 3 time to the Dinning room and stopped after anything to do with meat is uneatable.
Staff are not friendly. Very rare to see a smile the only kind and friendly staff ...
MSC Magnifica is just magnificent . They made our spring break super fun and memorable. Food, hospitality, entertainment, events everything was spot on . Their entertainment manager Graham had another level of energy to keep the entire group engaged. Variety of food was great. Shopping experience on the ship was also great. Pools were nice and clean. Gym was nice and especially protein shakes ...
I have done many cruises on varying cruise lines. Took MSC Davina many years ago and it was great. This MSC cruise was a totally different experience. The customer service was horrible. Could only find one bar that I could sit down with my family and get bar service. The rest of the ship you had to go up to the bar and get your drinks yourself. The food in the dining room was terrible. The ...
Embarkation:
Check-in was fast and MSC workers courteous, except one New Yorker port worker at security (but I'm a Texan in New York). We had a 10-10:30 am check-in time. After a subway and a bus, we arrived just a few minutes after 10am, dropped our luggage, and then we had to show passport and boarding passes before entering the security. After security was check-in, getting a boarding card, ...
I've been on MSC in the Mediterranean before (Poesia), as well as Princess, Costa and other, smaller cruise lines. I'm a 40+ European and used to work on Princess Cruises in the Carribean and Alaska as a waiter some years ago. I have a decent idea of how things work on the ship and also of differences between cruising in the US and in Europe. I'm a massive fan of cruises and follow very closely ...
We have cruised Carnival, NCL and Disney and always wonder about MSC. We always saw the ship in ports and they looked stunning from other cruises.
Pro - beautiful ship, room attendant
Con - lacked elevators considering the size, we felt bad for those with ADA needs.
Horrible dining food, worst we had on a cruise, glad we paid for specialty dining for two nights. We did the steakhouse, ...
This was our first time sailing on MSC and in Yacht Club. We are very experienced cruisers - NCL Haven, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Windstar, Seabourn, and Holland America. Yacht Club was an exceptional experience. The staff on board are incomparable. They are kind, efficient, gracious and helpful. Embarkation was speedy and seamless. The food in the Yacht Club restaurant is incredible and the ...
