We chose to go on this cruise for a couple of reasons. One reason was we had never been on a Transatlantic Cruise, and two it seemed like a good deal for the amount of time of this cruise.
We booked the cruise back in the Summer and at that time we paid for the Easy Beverage package (which is the low end Alcohol included up to $6.00) and we pre-paid our Gratuities.
When we got on the ship ...
My partner and I spent 20 nights on the south bound transatlantic crossing which sailed from Genoa on 5-11-2019. We (41 and 42) were accompanied by 1 set of parents (64 and 65) and 1 couple who are friends our age. I researched thoroughly before choosing this cruise. Our primary reason to select this journey on MSC Divina was the brilliant itinerary. I read the reviews and noted the negative and ...
MSC is my preferred cruise line but I was let down by this ship and some of the staff.
I enjoy a smoke with my cocktails and also a chair to sit on but there is very limited smoking areas and sitting areas on this ship. On the back deck the chairs and tables were available to sit on about 2 or 3 hours the entire cruise. They had them stacked in the corner.
The only smoking area inside the ...
Cruised for the first time with MSC aboard Fantasia in November 2019, we embarked in Genoa, doing a few places in Europe then went across to Brazil. We have cruised with other companies many times and have never experienced anything as bad.
At the airport - MSC representative was waiting at the airport for us - but there was no transport for us and had to wait 45 minutes for it arrive. ...
Told by Iglu that this was a good cruise,
.No bus to pick us up at Nice, one arrived 2 hours late.
Boat drill held before we had got to our cabin.
Internet very slow and news from TV non existent after Suez.
Ship had coughs which required doctors treatment more than expected.
Disembarkation Durban like very stressful like rush hour in London, also at Durban airport long queue to ...
We chose this repositioning cruise because of the itinerary and wanted to do more of South Africa. Overall the ship was clean and tidy, the staff must take a lot of credit for this.
But we were disappointed over a lot of things such as the following (some can be attributed to the staff having to say it in several languages and people talking over it).
- The mandatory emergency drill ...

We were a family of four traveling for our first Mediterranean cruise with two teenagers. We have taken multiple cruises before on Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Carnival, so we thought we would give the relatively new MSC Seaview a try. The price for our family was certainly enticing.
In short, here is how we would grade our experience:
Price: A
Room size and cleanliness: ...
This is our 4-th cruise and we chose it mostly because of the ship, since the itinerary is not the best. Palma de Majorca and Valencia are nice, but the other places are not worth the trip.
They offered shuttle buses for the city that were more expensive than travelling with taxi.
We wanted a new ship, that offers better comfort and instead we ended up in a crowded, smelly, full of leaks and ...
