MSC Divina is a beautiful ship every detail from the staircases to the marble and the decor is immpeccable. We had a balcony room so it was spacious compared to other cruise liners. There wasn't much to do for anyone whos not a gambler or wants to sit at the bar all day.. When we boarded the ship we were hoping to get into the pools however they were all drained and stayed that way with nets on ...
Just like her Sister ship, The Orchestra, The Poesia (pronounced PO-E-SEE-AH) Is a gorgeous ship! Spotless, modern and appealing to the eye!! Though the embarkation area was a bit tired (as it was in 2009) signs boasted a new and improved terminal was on the way (I think I remember those same signs!!) Once we finally got past the TSA....ahhh....people??? Embarkation was relatively ...
This will be a slightly different review as we were on a theme cruise and not a regular sailing. In other words, there are some things that I cannot rate on behalf of MSC because they were not under MSC's "control." This was a Moody Blues cruise, featuring the band along with several other performers, and for a theme cruise it was fantastic. Lots of music all the time (except when the ship was ...
This was my 12th cruise, and the first I have bothered to review. The 7
Princess, and 3 NCL cruises were great, and the Costa was a train wreck. So I took the MSC Poesia cruise with a little trepidation (Costa and MSC are both Italian lines). My father and his wife took a trip on the Poesia over the 2013 new years holiday, and were impressed. With over 30 cruises under there belts I trusted ...
We couldn't wait to go on this classic music cruise, we looked forward to it for months. The overall talent was tremendous, and the highlight of the cruise. Greg Lake's show was fantastic, and to me The Zombies stole the whole show with their stunning poolside outdoor performance.
The food was mediocre but we really didn't care, we were there for the music and The Moody Blues. However, the VIP ...
There is one thing, no two things, that I really need to get off my chest first. I was very alarmed to discover that smoking is allowed in the cabins on MSC ships. We had a lot of trouble with smokers on the balconies around us (even cigars) and cruise staff told us they would tell these passengers to keep the smoking to their rooms! As fire is the biggest threat to a ship I feel MSC is ...
We stayed at the Bridge at Cordova, as usual, a small overnight hotel with a wonderful atmosphere. You are met at the airport and taken to your ship by the ownwer. Our firt stop was at the mall for a visit to Ross, where we buy yet more summer clothes, great quality and great prices. It's good the see the cruise staff spending their tips on childrens clothes to send home, and is a reminder of how ...
this is my first review and my forth cruise, my husband and i go each year usually with my parents, we are a young couple with no children.
we stayed at a small hotel in fort lauderdale called Ramada cruise port and airport... nothing to write home about needs ALOT of repairs but the price was right and they had free transportation to and from cruise and airport and also a small shopping mall. ...
This is one mans opinion. First the plus. The the ship is very beautiful. The coffee is good and hot. The omelet is also good and hot.
The ports of call are also good.
Now the minuses.
Food is cold both in the dining room and the buffet. The ice cream served in the dining room was warm. The lobster tail was soft it fell apart when you tried to pick it up. Service was very slow, but could ...
It was our second time on the MSC Poesia for a Jazz Fest at Sea cruise. The MSC Poesia is a pretty ship nothing spectacular but very clean and well maintained. The 11-day itinerary was excellent and so was the jazz performances. We were part of a group for the Jazz-Fest at Sea.
Our cabin was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable except for the very small pillows.
However, the ...
