A quick review of Meraviglia...... this was my second MSC cruise in 6 months, usually travelling with RCI.
We boarded in Marseilles one very rainy Saturday. I think there were only about 400 joining the 'bus' that day. Boarding started at 12 noon prompt and we were on board before 10 past. Muster was held in the theatre and then, rather strangely we were led to where our actual muster station ...
MSC Meraviglia Westen Mediterranean cruise.
Feb.2018.
This ship is like a game changer of Italian cruise lines.
It's a fabulous vessel, and we really enjoyed it. Venues and shows are spectacular, entertainment is in the air in a way that we haven't experienced with MSC before. I really enjoyed the opera, but there was something for everyone. It's a great ship for the cold with ...
First of all this is a big cruise ship: 19 floors, over 5,000 passengers, 1,200 crew. It is like a big floating hotel with a small mall in the center. It is quite new (June 2017), so it looks and feels new, shiny and flashy. It is a great ship, no questions about it...
The crew is excellent. I have read reviews of this an other cruise ships and they always mention that the workers seem to be ...
Given, that my wife and I have now completed a number of cruises (with both Royal Caribbean and MSC), I think I am finally qualified to write a meaningful review.
In 2013 we cruised with MSC Preziosa in the Western Med and the itinerary included Barcelona, Naples, Genoa, Messina, Tunis (Tunisia) and Marseille. It was a fantastic experience, which subsequently led to us fast becoming "cruise ...
I was very apprehensive when reading such bad reviews about this brand new ship - we were pleasantly surprised with nearly everything. Most staff were very helpful & polite, cabin excellent, ship spotlessly clean, entertainment was okay, food was good quality, drinks package excellent value. Excursions were very wel organised & excelent value for money. Embarkation also was excellent. My only ...
This was my second cruise with MSC (first one was in August 2014 on Fantasia).
We travelled with 2 kids (aged 4 and 2) and I missed having a specific pool were families with small children could stay (with deck chairs, bar, etc). The small covered kid's pool in most of the time in the shadow and the water is cold.
The opening times of the kids' club for children under 3 is really scarce. ...
I am from Maryland, USA and my wife and I wanted to celebrate our 25 year anniversary in style. You definitely want to get the upgraded suite, we were in room 12226 at rear of ship but on right side. Sun rises were excellent. The room was so large more than 200 SF! With a walk in closet bigger than ours at home. My wife Anita is so jeolous and wants a bigger closet now! LOL. There are people ...
Just returned from our 5th MSC cruise yesterday on Splendida and once again great value for money, excellent customer service, very good food and stunning spotless ship. Such contrast to the very disappointing cruise we took with P&O in November for which I have done a separate review.
I have taken 15 cruises overall over 9 years with 6 cruise lines and MSC is my first choice line now for it's ...
We are just back from our week on MSC Splendida. In spite of being winter, we loved it and had a lovely time.
The ship is huge and its beautiful and it shines from its cleanliness, we’ve been already in Poesia and Fantasia.
Loving the food, we don’t eat that much and we manage to “stay fit” just walking around the ship.
We had our breakfasts on the buffet and went twice to breakfast in ...
We chose this cruise as it went to ports of call that we had not been to previously, but our primary reason was to attend the Monaco Grand Prix which was an add on package to this cruise.
The cabin was clean and comfortable and very quiet. The cabin was serviced daily to a high standard.
The dining room was rather noisy and although the service was good it felt rather rushed and on several ...
