MSC Barcelona Cruise Reviews

The MSC SeaView ship itself is a luxury vessel with generally nice staff except for those working in reception which the conveniently located right beside a bar with live singing so you can’t hear or explain anything in English to Spanish staff which should be fluent in English Every day our ship payment cruise card was blocked or denied even after adding €950 on it by debit card We were ...

We had already booked an extended stay in Spain. We were going to be in Barcelona on May 13 and noticed there was a cruise departing on that day with an interesting itinerary. We have been on more than 10 cruises, with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Windstar etc but never with MSC. we chose an inside cabin, which we never had before, and the early sitting for dinner, although we had seen on the ...

The MSC SEASCAPE is a brand new ship and this was her first Atlantic crossing. I wanted to see what a 900 million dollar ship was like. I found out soon after boarding. This was my first MSC cruise and it will be my last. MSC has sacrificed quality for quantity . Way too many people creating noise and confusion just about everywhere on the ship - especially the restaurants where you end up ...

I've cruised with Crystal, Princess, Norwegian, and Holland America, and without a doubt, my experience with MSC is the worst. Although the fare was lower than expected, transatlantic from Barcelona to Barbados, the "nickel and dime" experience on board, coupled with frequent billing errors, poorly organized shore tours, and poorly managed buffet staff, made the experience unforgettably poor. I ...

I was excited to take my mom on her first cruise. I've been on many cruises and it's my favorite way to cruise. I wanted to try out MSC and I liked the ports available. First, I made some assumptions. I assumed that as a European cruise line they would be more accommodating for gluten free. I also assumed that if I planned ahead, called customer service, and documented my interactions they ...

I chose this cruise because of the itinerary but I should have paid more attention to the ship and cruise line. The buffet was lukewarm and didn't have much variety. We went once to the to the sit-down restaurant my girlfriend isn't picky, and she only ate half her meal. The sheets and comforter were stained. Only a sheet at the bottom so just sleeping with the comforter was too hot, I slept with ...

booked this cruise as a present for my parents, as they've never cruised before. We had to take a pcr test 2 days beforehand, at a cost of £200...only to have to take a lateral flow test as well before boarding...ship was clean and staff were very nice and attentive. The food was really not what you would expect on a cruise ship, very "school canteen" in the buffet restaurant, and the Main ...

Initially cruise seemed to be a very good deal, 21nights from Barcelona but as soon as we landed at Barcelona the chaos commenced, MSC staff greeted us but there were no buses to transport us to the port, waited over a hour with no explanation offered. On arrival on MSC SEAVIEW we somehow managed to get our cruise pass without taking a mandatory covid test, once we pointed this out we were ...

- Buffet food is better than Dining food even though it’s basically the same EXACT food, except for the ethnic station. Their steaks/prime beef/filet whatever dish that has beef is cafeteria school quality AT BEST - Food overall is mediocre, the ship basically forces you to go and spend money at the “specialty” restaurants otherwise you starve. - Even free room service food is basically ...

the embarkation and disembarkation where terrible... the staff is rude ando don't help you in any way. The ship is beautiful, the cabins are very confortable. you have to make a line to enter the restaurant every night. The food is Ok... small portions and always cold. our waitress was very nice. The shows were bad except for the cirque du Soleil with I truly recommend. The staff has no ...
