When the profit is the only thing... The room smells bad for the cruise duration and they didn't manage to resolve it. The ship is almost all cabin to maximize the profit and it ended that we had to stay in line for everything, especially the buffet, a nightmare. The staff is not efficient, you have to struggle to find a waiter to make an order and we had to call to have the room cleaned ...
Shambolic from start to finish. Embarking was a nightmare, with queues of people waiting hours, I had a disabled diabetic person with me who was in desperate need of food and facilities. I had to queue jump many many people to get some attention. Staff were unable to cope. Not a good first impression! Eventually we boarded several hours late and the some of our luggage arrived during the night and ...
We are currently on this excuse of a boat that you call a cruise ship "Cabin *81**"
Previously we have travelled with Holland America, Celebrity, Carnival, Royal Caribbean and P & O
Examples
Dinner
Ordered dinner and the vegetables were raw when we queried the head waiter he blamed the server
The menu, well I hope your not paying the head chef a decent wage because he is not dishing ...
We were a group of 15 and chose this cruise as it seemed to offer good value, sailing from Valencia at the right time of year. It would probably not have been my first choice because of its size: just under 6,000 passengers. Unfortunately my fears were proved justified.
The Seashore is an impressive ship, but the organisation on board was terrible. They are severely understaffed, particularly ...
Me and my husband have been on American cruise lines before (Carnival and Royal Carribean) and even thiugh we had our doubts about the MSC we decided to give it a try. Well the try was DISSAPOINTING! I will not ever take an MSC cruise again and giving the choice on the market would suggest the same for others. All the problems and poor service will mostly be noticed by big families and/ or ...
Probably our best cruise ever (28 cruises on 7 different cruise lines).
We managed to get an amazing deal on Yacht club for this repositioning cruise and now would always choose YC (if available)......
It's a slightly older ship and some deck areas are showing their age e.g. deck chairs , pool areas , decking etc.. , but otherwise we'll maintained esp the interior which you couldn't tell was ...
My wife was never on a cruise. I made 10+ cruises so I consider myself experienced :-). I found a great itinerary and then 2 weeks before the start the cruise got cancelled due to unscheduled maintenance. I was not happy but you know these things happen. But I was not going to let down my wife so I sprung into action. (I thought)
MSC gave some options and promised to be in contact. Somehow they ...
If you’re on a tight budget and want a less expensive cruise experience, maybe for the first time, this may be it for you. If you’ve cruised before and enjoyed it, you’ll be disappointed here.
1. Nothing on board above the basics is included, not even tap water. Several times, our family was asked to pay for selecting the “water” button on the soda-dispensing machines. Once they gave my ...
The MSC Seashore cruise was offering a 5 days cruise through the Mediterranean from Genova to Rome, Napels and Corsica and return to Genova.
It is a brand new ship, huge, many restaurants, lounges, atrium, shops, special lights, elevators on the back with a view. We were/ are very impressed!
There are several drinking plans. For us the easy plus, so all drinks to 9 euro. Good, no ...
MSC Armonia was the perfect cruise for the time that we had in Europe, visiting Kotor Montenegro, Mykonos and Santorini over 6 nights. The cabin was comfortable, plenty of storage and amenities. I would highly recommend Portside for anyone booking as you will see the beautiful coastal scenery from the cabin if you have a window, porthole or balcony. The ship overall is a little old, but has been ...
