MSC Family Cruises Reviews

We did a 119 night World Cruise, don't know why the menu here in CC says its only 50 nights. MSC delivers a lot of bang for your buck, though not everything was perfect. But the itinerary and the dining were awesome, although strangely the famous Kaito-sushi restaurant was closed during the whole trip. The staff was excellent, I wish shore hotels would have staff as nice and attentive. The ...

Just as a point of reference, we have been on about a dozen cruises with RC and Carnival. This was our first MSC cruise. Our check-in window was 12:30-1pm. We arrived at 1 pm and there was a HUGE line outside of the terminal. They didn't even open the doors to let us in until around 3:30. We got on the ship around 4:30. There was no explanation, no apologies, no offers of water bottles or ...

Embarkation: This was a disaster and I'm lucky it wasn't worse. We had a 10:30am check-in time, but they were not checking times at all and there were people who got ahead of us in the lines who were not supposed to be there. In the end, it didn't matter because the ship was late arriving and the coast guard had work to do onboard before guests could get off the ship. As a result, boarding ...

I don’t know how to start. I’ve only been on a few cruises and to a few all inclusives and I can’t imagine having a worse time in a luxury environment. Travel group: 6 adults and 4 children, all under 8 years. 3 of us have had lower body surgeries in December so we had one walker and two in crutches. Check in: Online check in was a headache. Followed directions and the etickets ...

AVOID THE MSC 2/3 CRUISE FROM CAPE CANAVERAL...long, but I hope this helps you. My wife and I have never cruised before, and thought this quick weekend cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida to the MSC private island would be a great way to find out if we liked cruising. Thank God we did because I never want to cruise again!!! First, and this is not MSC's fault, the people who run Port ...

The internet was terrible and expensive. We had to get several visas, but few were actually needed. For example, we had to have a visa to South Korea to board the ship, but later we found that no one needed a visa to SK. MSC will not give me a refund for the unnecessary visa. We paid for a larger room that did not exist on that ship, with no refund in sight. Food was decent, but not great. Rooms ...

Sorry this is long winded but necessary for others to know to avoid what we went through. We had booked our cruise pre-covid with MSC on the Seaside. After trying to get MSC to refund the cruise and getting no where with that we assumed that it was a loss. Mid summer 2022 I received an email saying we were sailing September 1, 2022. This date was not possible. We contacted the cruise line and ...

The service, the staff, everything was not worth it at all pick a different cruise line. Cleaning staff wasn’t cleaning rooms instead just walking into our room for “mandatory checks” that he wouldn’t elaborate on. None of the staff speaks English very well that lead to some big communication issues. floors are constantly wet slipping everywhere always. Cleaning staff was also given access to our ...

We are a couple in our early 50’s. Sailed Carnival, RC, Norwegian, Princess, Celebrity and this was our first MSC cruise. If you’ve never cruised, and have nothing to compare it to, you’ll probably like this cruise. Nice ship, clean, lots to do, food ok, shows ok. If you’re a seasoned cruiser, you will be disappointed at the lack of perks included on other ships. Here we go! Embarkation: slow, ...

This was our 4th cruise and first with MSC. I have read a lot of the reviews of MSC including some of the nasty, horror story ones and have to admit I had one of those “what have I done” moments shortly after booking. Here is a simple summary of my experience. - I booked through a travel agent so they did the initial booking for 2 state rooms which was smooth. - I quickly learned that the ...
