I recently booked the MSC Divina for me and my girlfriend to go on a little getaway trip to the Bahamas and their private island. I think is overpriced for what you actually get. The cruise ship is old and needs to be remodeled. The cruise ship was packed with far too many people, making it feel cramped and uncomfortable instead of relaxing. Everywhere you went, it was crowded, from the decks, ...
The cruise was amazing! It was a smooth cruise to the Bajamas! It was my first cruise ever and i didn't get sea sick!!! Rooms were very clean, and service was excellent. Lots of activities to do on the cruise ship like live performances, bars, casino, F1 simulator, Foosball, etc. The ship was enormous and elegant. There was a 24/7 buffet service that served all sorts of foods. We were unable to ...
Embarkation and walk off disembarkation were great. Overall, the rest was a bit of a mess. It was nice to have the key cards on the door waiting for us. It would have been nice to know that our assigned dining room and fun pass were on our key cards. Communication and information go a long way. We were not informed that our dining room was assigned, or that it was listed on our key card. We went ...
We had an amazing time on the Magnifica. We initially booked a Fantastica balcony but upgraded to a Premium suite Aurea about a month before Embarkation. Our suite was fantastic. We had plenty of room and loved the layout and having a tub in the bathroom. One thing to note, you must request washcloths as they are not provided. We loved the small and easy to navigate layout of the ship and had ...
This was our 3rd cruise with MSC out of a South African Port.
We were Aurea, and it is well worth it for the priority boarding alone.
The staff in the Main Dining room were the staff stars of the cruise, friendly efficient and very attentive.
The meals in the main dining room were very good and well presented.
The buffet was as expected, mainly overcrowded and typical buffet ...
The ship may be beautiful, but the organization is terrible. Not enough tables in the main restaurant, not enough sunbeds by the pool. Daily lack of Jameson Whiskey, Jack Daniels, Brandy etc and carbonated water!!!! at the bar of the Black Crab Restaurant and other restaurants that were included in the drink package I purchased. The evening dancing in the black crab restaurant full of alcohol ...
To start, they did not have regular sprite on the entire boat, we had to call the manager to get us the sprite, the food was super bad, poorly prepared, it was always cold, many people got sick to the stomach, they had no variety at all, the staff they do not know how to prepare drinks from the bar, the boat has an italian concept and they do not even know how to prepare pizzas.
The customer ...
Ship was in better shape than I anticipated considering its age. The housekeeper service was fantastic. Every time I left the room with my daughter she would clean and organize everything in no time. I gave her a good tip. Bars sometimes get too crowded and the bartenders can't put up with the flow. Managers should move bartenders around to meet guests needs and expectations. Food is good. The ...
We tried to make the most of it! The ship headed right into a tropical storm so one of our stops we stayed on. Half the people were sick on the boat. The 8 hot tubs were always closed, we got into 2 shows because they were always full, the hallways were always crowded. The lay out was horrible and the elevators were slow ( I did get my steps in)the had lots and lots of stairs. Seemed like ...
OK I have read all the reviews about this ship and had very low expectations. We are an Irish couple who have cruised with Royal, NCL and mostly Princess and a few MSC. The price was good and we thought well it can’t be that bad.
It was a great cruise.
Food excellent good variety and quality. Tip avoid the buffet it is a bit manic. Go to the dining room for breakfast lunch and dinner and ...
