MSC Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Reviews

Our recent trip aboard the MSC Divina was a lot more than we expected. The ship is beautiful and the crew is great. We loved the entertainment committee. Ten wonderful young men and women that made every venue fun. The shows are the BEST at sea. The cabins are the largest for a regular balcony room than most other ships (and I have been on quite a few). The public areas are beautiful. The food is ...

My recent voyage on the MSC Poesia was my very first cruise, and I researched it heavily before we sailed via reviews from prior passengers. To anybody who is familiar with reviews of this ship, you will know that many of them were quite negative. This gave us some real concern, and we got out of the taxi at the port with a healthy mix of excitement and dread. Well let me tell you folks... the ...

This was my sixth cruise, but first on MSC, and it was Mark's first ever cruise. We flew from Baltimore to Fort Lauderdale the day of the cruise, and arrived about 2:30. We took a cab to Port Everglades and were there in about 10 minutes. Embarkation: Embarkation was very quick. There was no line by then, and after a quick picture, we were on the ship. We dropped our carry-ons in our ...

I am a seasoned cruiser and have cruised most of the mass market lines. I was attracted to MSC because of the value rates offered for single travelers. Yes, I did this one solo! Being alone I would be able to see all the negativity that you all are talking about, without worrying about someone else. Two weeks before the cruise I found a singles group of 33 members sailing together and I ...

My wife and I recently returned from our 7-day cruise on the MSC Poesia (sailed 4/6/13). It was our second journey on MSC, (the first one being on its sister ship, the Orchestra), and truly one of the best cruising experiences we've had in recent years. Our trip started on a sour note, unfortunately. We had booked the cruise through MSC's own travel agents. Although we were not able to use our ...

Ship was beautiful and sparkling clean, looks brand new Decor is lovely, and even the hallways are light and attractive. This was my 3rd time on Poesia and she is as beautiful as ever and now some new additions and new things make her better than ever, especially for Americans embarkation was the easiest ever, walk right on, we were there very early and away we go Bought the prepaid wine ...

My spouse and I are also experienced cruisers and have cruised with multiple companies. We went with a group of friends and had a wonderful time. We did have a few issues with our cabin but these were rectified promptly and we received a call from Management the next day to be sure all was well! I must agree that the ship was spotless and seemed to be well maintained. I had no issue with ...

We have gone on cruises with other cruise lines before and never had such an experience as we did on this MSC cruise. The hygiene level of the crew needs to be improved. At the buffet service alone I never saw a clean cloth used to wipe down the tables when people left the tables and others sat down to eat. It had gotten to the point that I would wipe the table down before we would eat on it. ...

My family and I have sailed many times before, but this was our first MSC experience! Firstly, embarkation... Embarkation was quick and efficient, we got to the port at around 11 and were on the boat having lunch in no time!! Our rooms were ready right away which was really nice!! Next, food... The food met, but not exceeded our expectations. The buffet lacked snack foods, but had some good ...

Prior to this cruise we sailed with all major cruise lines except for Costa & MSC. Our best overall line is Princess cruises, but also for different reasons we love Celebrity, NCL and RCI. Reading various review about MSC we were a bit confused. Beautiful ships, but so many negative reviews. We just could not believe it. What we found was a very nice and interesting experience, with its own ...
