MSC Family Cruises Reviews

Just returned today. Pros: Excellent Buffet Food was overall very good at dinner - Meat + Potatoes excellent (starter - french onion soup - water - horrible) Very Clean Ship, Staff always friendly Workers provide very Good Service Drink Package covers all drinks (cafe latte, coke, alcohol, etc) The upper deck slides are A BLAST EVEN FOR THE ADULTS! When we went there ...

We booked 5 days before sailing, we know MSC is not the best. We are Diamond members with RCCL and Platinum with NCL. I know Carnival is thankful MSC has entered the Caribbean Market because Carnival is no longer the worst. 1st Day - Dinner took 2 hours and 10 minutes and we didn't get dessert. We never had any cabin service our first night. The first show was ok because of the music. The ...

This is a late review. Long overdue but also important This was our 6th MSC Cruise. We travelled with two other couples as we always do and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We found the food to be fine in the buffet with lots of options. We all felt that the evening meals were excellent and staff were great. Truly the service that we received during our evening dining was excellent. Our waiters were ...

I recently had the pleasure of cruising on the MSC Meraviglia and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The service on the ship was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every guest was comfortable and satisfied with their time on board. The highlight of the trip was definitely the delicious gelato. Every time I had a scoop, it was the perfect treat to beat the heat. The ...

This is my first cruise experience - coming in with no expectations. Although in the back of my mind, I've always felt that being on a cruise has its limitations as my initial thoughts are "great, I'm stuck on a ship with limited mobility - I miss land". Mindful that I get sea-sick / motion sickness (don't forget your medication!). But that initial thought and feeling quickly eradicated and ...

I was recently on a quick 4-day group cruise onboard the MSC Meraviglia and I had a great overall experience. There were plenty of different activities to keep you busy throughout the day, and lots of dining and entertainment options at night. In terms of dining, I had the opportunity to experience two speciality restaurants, the Butcher's Cut Steakhouse and Kaito Teppanyaki Restaurant & Sushi ...

It was an ideal four-day getaway on a beautiful ship, marred by the dining experience (food, preparation, and presentation). To give you some examples, food at the Marketplace buffet was left to sit for long periods and lost its warmth, flavor, and its attractiveness (and was not changed until almost entirely consumed). Further, food in the dining room (breakfast and dinner) should arrive at the ...

The activities on the cruise provided a variety - there was a theater show you could attend, a white party one night, a beach party, and the lighthouse show on their private island in Ocean Cay which was fun, and several bars on board you could choose from. The restaurants was alright - the steakhouse was my favorite, followed by the Hibachi style restaurant but requires a reservation. The ...

Isn't it a shame that a ship this beautiful, with a staff that is clearly dedicated to excellence, is forced to operate under circumstances that reflect so poorly and unfairly on them? Our embarkation went smoothly with a 14:30 appointment but reports I heard from earlier passengers was that it was a madhouse for them. MSC seems to be the Southwest Airlines of the cruise industry when it comes to ...

We cruised on the beautiful Meraviglia in Feb 2022 on a 7-night western Caribbean cruise in a balcony cabin in the Fantastica Experience. It was great. So close to restart, it only had 400+ cruisers onboard. We booked again this year and thought we'd try the Aurea Experience which gives priority boarding and unlimited access to the thermal area as the two main perks that were attractive to us. ...
