MSC Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Reviews

My husband and I have done many cruises, but this is my first review. I tend to overlook a lot of deficiencies and always try to be positive. I am making an exception since this was the WORST CRUISE WE HAVE EVER BEEN ON. Embarkation was ok, lots of regimentation and moving from place to place, but it was OK. As we got on the ship, we noticed that there was no "welcome aboard" ...

Just came back from a E. Caribbean cruise on the MSC Poesia Feb. 6 - 13. We were a little apprehensive after reading the very mixed reviews, but decided to go with an open mind. It turned out to be overall an enjoyable experience. Embarkation: Arrived at the pier around 11:40 am in congested traffic. Long lines at Pier 4 but moved relatively fast (we did the web check-in) and got on the ...

This was our first cruise, my bf and I travelled with my parents. The ship was very nice and they were able to accommodate our dinner seating by putting the 4 of us together. I guess I'll start with the embarkation procedure. We flew into Miami and took at cab to Ft. Lauderdale (with 4 of us, it was the most cost effective, working out to be $20USD/pp). We took an early flight, landing in ...

we have some good things to say about the cruise and some bad things. we were with The Penny Gilly & Maggie Mae Group. It was very good entertainment with her band etc. this was the reason we went on this ship. we read the reviews about this ship and were very skeptical about booking on this vessel. most of the critics reviews were true about this ship. procedures in tendering to Georgetown (too ...

Great modern ship let down by bad organisation, Food was what one would expect at Butlns.No variety in the cafeteria, same food served up every day. Entertainment was great if you liked opera. The best show of the whole trip was one put on by staff and passengers. The company would be well advised to take note.On docking in Malaga we were informed that the town was a 20 minute bus ride at a cost ...

MSC Poesia 2/20 - 2/27 - Western Caribbean First a little about us. We're a gay couple, both 49, part of a 22-passenger family group. The adults in the group ranged from mid-30's to retirement. There were 5 children in the group ranging from 18 months to 10 years of age. We weren't actively involved with all the kids' activities, but can say that MSC offered a children's program that kept a ...

First time on MSC, and never again! Have cruised Carnival 7 times and never had a complaint. MSC offered us a balcony cabin on deck 11 for a price comparable to an interior cabin on any previous cruise, so I jumped on it. I am Canadian, the thought of a European influenced cruise appealed to me. I know there's this whole issue between Europeans and Americans and I see both sides have their ...

I was leery of going on a cruise that my brother-in-law booked on MSC Poesia because of all the bad reviews on the internet. We found it wasn't too bad after all. Embarkation at Port Everglades was fine and very quick but that was probably because the ship already was part full with folks on two week cruises. Two days at sea were great but don't look for lots of organization of ...

We've cruised on Cunard, Princess, Celebrity and Carnival. The online reviews of MSC Poesia were mixed, to say the least. But we liked the fact that this is a newish ship, run by an Italian line, and we liked the price we got for a two-week Western and Eastern Caribbean cruise in a suite. We flew into Miami, and took the shuttle to Fort Lauderdale. The check-in process went smoothly, and we ...

Just got back from a cruise on the MSC Poescia. 8 days and 7 nights through the Southern Carribbean. First I would like to say that boarding the ship was very good and entering our room quickly with luggage there was quite impressive. But that is where I will stop. The service help on the ship was terrible. There was minimal staff that was never around when you wanted something. You had to ...
