MSC Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

MSC Sinfonia is one of the oldest ships in the fleet, so don't book for the things it doesn't have, such as Yacht club, speciality dining, robot bartenders, water slides, and big production shows. Book for the destination ports and value for money. The ship was on a continuous circular Eastern Mediterranean itinerary catering predominately for the Italian market, but with many other Europeans ...

I booked this shorter Med cruise, to check if standards and general improvement where high on MSC wish list, to my dismay they were not. After a shambolic trip on the MSC Opera from Abu Dhabi to Genoa in may 2023, I tested the so called high calibre of service and quality which the company was aiming for, unfortunately all fallen by the wayside. The embarkation process was swift and very quick, ...

I give my thoughts as this is my 20th + cruise and have traveled with several lines. I chose this cruise as it should be 21 days of what I had hoped would be getting to know other guests and chat. I was not aware there are huge changes of guests at every port visited. Not ideal I think. Food is all quite bland In complementary restaurants. There are several pay to eat restaurants with high ...

I've worked on cruise ships a few years ago but this was our first experience cruising as passengers. Good Stuff: 1. Embarkation was straightforward 2. Modern clean ship. 3. Cabin well proportioned and appointed 4. Cabin steward was really nice and always did a great job looking after us. 5. Guest singer in the Carouselle lounge was excellent - I'd look for her again when doing ...

I choose this cruise because it was affordable but the food wasn't impressive nor was the service at the Wave Restaurant. I did enjoy the entertainment which was great! However when you cruise the highlight is alway the quality of your food. I did book one of the specialty restaurants which was hibachi style that was quite tasty & entertaining as well. I booked a balcony cabin but it ...

We tried an MSC Cruise from Rome after getting a great deal on a black Friday sale. I am glad we didn't pay a ton for the cruise. It came with included WIFI that worked really well. Also a drink package which was great. The ports were all ones we enjoyed and had looked forward to them. Ship was nice and new but just felt like it was done on the cheap. Seemed like every where you looked ...

I chose this cruise for good value and newer and bigger ship. The ship is truly beautiful. 1. Dining room food was good, service was excellent, ambience was wonderful. 2. Buffet was chaotic. Food was displayed in 2 narrow aisles on each side of the ship. It was hard to find a seat. 3. Food was average, it lacked variety. Roasts of beef, lamb, chicken and pork were good. Soups were always ...

We embarked on 27th October 23 in Marseille. On arriving at 11am at port we were surprised to find the ship wasn't there, our booking only showed sailing at 6pm so a little surprised, however it arrived at 12pm and we checked in Yacht Club desk shortly after and were on board at 1.30pm in time for lunch. Only as we decided not to wait for a butler incase we missed out. This was our 5th Yacht Club ...

Entertainment was great with the shows where a stand out, but in general the entertainment team did a great job working hard all day . service was good the staff in the restaurant they done a great job . The food was a disgrace on this ship. corporate cost cutting to the max.low quality.tasteless.cold.i think they left the chef in port. this was a very bad image of italian food.the owners need a ...

The ship itself is wonderful, well laid out, constant cleaning & maintenance daily. Very clean & fantastic staff in bars, pool area’s & toilets. The buffet has plenty of choices although food could be hotter at times. My biggest gripe are the reception & excursion staff. I’m not sure how they were employed as customer service should be first & fore within any company. Arrogant & ...
