MSC Southampton Cruise Reviews

I really do not know where to start with my review of the Northern Cruise with MSC. We have cruised with a few other cruise lines and I can honestly say that this was worse than being stuck in a Fawlty Towers sitcom Hotel/Butlins. Initially I had read several reviews from various sites in regards to the cruise we had chosen, and I honestly thought that surely it could not be that bad? Oh ...

We booked this cruise last minute as it seemed to be a good deal with a reduced drinks package fee and complimentary balcony upgrade. We had heard mixed reviews from other cruisers but as it was a good price we were willing to give it a go. Overall impression of the ship - really beautiful aesthetic and the galleria area is impressive, however, on an evening when there are events happening the ...

We rebooked on another bargain cruise in Yacht club on Euribia. We loved every minute and look forward to returning soon. The yacht club is well run and all our needs were met. Fabulous staff including butler Abhi and assistant butler Timmy who spoiled us rotten. Any issues were immediately rectified by them along with the excellent concierge team. Food was top notch and restaurant staff ...

My family decided to try a cruise as a potential new style holiday with small kids (4 & 1). My wife has cruised once before with RC and was quite seasick but it was a first for the rest of us and we thought we would give cruising one last chance before deciding on future vacations. We went into the cruise with fairly modest expectations having spent much time reading reviews on here and ...

Under no circumstances would I ever sail with MSC again. The cabin (while very comfortable) was on deck 9 (directly above the lounge). There is no soundproof beneath the cabin and thus was forced to listen and "feel" the music into the wee hours of the night. When we went to guest services - we were told the cruise is full and there would be nothing they could do. So, EVERY night of the cruise, we ...

We got a good deal on this ship and needed to use 5 days leave-had cruised on the Magnifica a few years so thought it would be good as a new ship. Beautiful, shiny, glossy and sparkly with fabulous entertainment and brilliant proper dining in the restaurants in the evening, however beware. Horrendously expensive to buy anything-65 Euros EACH for a T-bone,1 Euros for a large Toblerone! Serious ...

This was our first and last MSC cruise. We have used many other cruise companies all of which are far superior. Highlights. Nice boat, plenty to do and very well appointed and decorated. Great drinks package, premium drinks of a high quality all available within it. Ok entertainment. Not a patch on Royal Caribbean and others but they tried hard and it was entertaining if a little low rent ...

We have just returned from a cracking cruise on the MSC Euribia and we had a really good time. The embarkation was so smooth and from dropping off the bags to getting to the room was all of 10 minutes with the bags coming 10 minutes after that. Disembarkation was also very smooth and we were off the ship with our bags in the collection area within 10 minutes. Cabin was perfect, we had a ...

I’m taking the time to leave a positive review of this ship for those who are doing their research as I was. 5 days before my Fiancé and I set sail for a week on the Euribia I stupidly started looking at reviews and of course, people only take the time to leave negative ones and not positive. I was thoroughly panicked. However - We loved the ship, the crew were great, the balcony room and it’s ...

The ship is basic having sailed on others it was a poor relation. We had the drinks package which is worth buying just a shame the bar staff are so slow to serve you. We kept asking for a bowl of crisps but they are so reluctant to give you any I don’t know why, we asked every night but only managed two bowls after asking several times, most of the time they just ignored us. The restaurant ...
