MSC First-Time Cruisers Cruise Reviews

I have sailed on the Holmes Line (SS Oceanic), NCL, Holland America, Carnival, Celebrity, RCI, Princess Line, and I was looking for a classic Italian Cruise Line in MSC. I read previous Cruise Critic reviews from prior passengers in Florida and was a little nervous about this trip. I have to say some of their reviews were too harsh and unfair, this cruise was the first voyage for MSC, out of NYC ...

This is our second MSC cruise, We did the maiden voyage of Seascape last fall. I note some off the quite strenuous criticisms of MSC...and cannot complete deny them...but Perhaps it will help to explain what type of cruisers we are... -We go often, don't drink except wine for dinner and an occasional; beer. -Don't spend extra on specialty restaurants...on Norwegian, because of our ...

If you have Cruised with Royal Caribbean dont bother wasting your money cruising with MSC. We took a cruise to relax on 4/2 to 4/9 to Western Caribbean. MSC bills itself as a family friendly cruise lines Relaxation we did not get! 1) To get the girls (16yrs old) Non-Alcoholic package with frozen fruity drinks and latte's, bottled water and softserve ice cream. They had to go to the adult ...

It was so fun I met so many people, our waiter in the main dining room Eduardo was great with a wonderful personality. The bars the bars were amazing. Lots of things to do. The party’s were really fun , especially the silent party they played really good songs for all ages. The specialty restaurants were really nice as well . I really enjoyed the hibachi restaurant. The have wonderful deserts , ...

I enjoyed my cruise tremendously! I have sailed with Royal and Carnival before, and I really feel like this trip was on par with those experiences. The ship was beautiful, it felt very premium. The modern luxurious feel of the decor was lovely. The Edge bar was a standout location, it had great energy and wonderful bartenders. I also enjoyed the views from the Sky Lounge and spent ...

I cruised with my significant other and 1 other couple. We were celebrating one of our 40th birthdays. The other 3 have not cruised before. Here is my take away & Happy to answer any questions that I didn't cover: Port Canaveral: Upon arrival around 10:30am on Sunday we needed to ask for directions. No where in our ticket packet from MSC did it mention which terminal we were to go to. Yes the ...

We booked this cruise about 2 weeks prior to sailing. Cost was the biggest factor in our decision making and MSC had an itinerary that interested us and the price was within our budget of what we wanted to spend. Our family enjoyed our time on the ship and we booked our next cruise with MSC as well. During Embarkation, it did feel like we were standing and waiting for a long time. It did seem ...

This was our first trip on an MSC ship so wanted to try it out. Our recent trip on MSC Maraviglia sailing 7 days 03-19-2023 through 03-26-2023 was the worst cruise we have ever been on. The ship itself was beautiful, however, the service was AWFUL. The buffet kept running out of plates, silverware, coffee cups, and coffee. The drink fountains only had two out of four serving drinks which also kept ...

I normally don’t leave reviews but after reading so many bad reviews of this ship I felt like I needed to add a good one. Overall, this was a great cruise. The ship is very nice, clean, and well-maintained. The staff were very attentive and helpful. I had a great week spending time with friends and relaxing. If you’re not a fussy traveler and you’re looking for a good value, this is the cruise for ...

We went on the MSC Meraviglia. The Atrium was absolutely gorgeous. It definitely feels like a party cruise (Vegas Vibes). The private island was pretty cool. The drinks were not cheap, but not overpriced. The stateroom was adequate. The service was fine. This ship was beautiful and had lots of potential. THE FOOD WAS AWFUL!!! My husband and I are not picky eaters, but absolutely trash. The only ...
