Took a 4 day cruise to Nassau and an overnight on their private island the week before Christmas so the ship was full with 4100 but never felt crowded except for once or twice in the buffet. Was this the best cruise I've been on? No. Was this a very good cruise for the price I paid for single balcony room on a holiday week, yes. Not a lot of frills so here is what you can expect. Ship was well ...
For background information, my husband and I are seasoned cruisers. Most of our cruises have been on Carnival - not out of brand loyalty so much, but because they have a wide range of itineraries at reasonable prices. We can usually find something inexpensive that fits the dates we have available to travel and visits some interesting ports of call. When the opportunity presents itself to try ...
Just arrived in Buenos Aires on the MSC Musica this morning after an 8 day cruise with 3 stops in Brazil and one stop in Uruguay. This was our 7th MSC cruise and 16th cruise overall.
EMBARKATION: Embarkation was pretty good. We were Aurea so had priority check in. The only problem with that is there was no priority line anywhere at any stage. We had to bring our negative Covid test, passport ...
I choose this cruise because it was cheap. It was a 5 day 4 night cruise from Dec 19 to Dec 23 and the cost was $440 per person for a balcony room. I must say you get what you pay for.
This was a total nightmare cruise. Restaurant manager was unwelcoming, seemed as if we were a bother. Had extremely poor customer service skills. On the first night of the cruise he became upset because we ...
After I read so many negative reviews I didn't expect much for this, my first MSC cruise. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was one of the more enjoyable cruises I have been on in a while.
Good-
The menu in the main dining room was very good and several choices that appealed to me every night. The food was creatively plated, hot and tasty. The service was very good with an amiable ...
We cruised MSC, actually on Magnifica, 3 years ago, and were not impressed. THe itinerary for this ship was interesting and fit our tight schedule, so I reluctantly tried it again. I won't be fooled a third time.
MSC is a budget line. That's fine. But the food was inedible. While our servers were very good, the food routinely came out cold. Sometimes it was cold food on a hot plate (how is ...
We chose this cruise because we sailed with MSC previously and had a great experience. However, this was as the pandemic started and the cruise ship was half full. This time was a completely different experience. The cruise was fully booked so we were able to see what the true MSC experience really was.
At our first port, we got money from our safe and exited the ship. We left our jewelry and ...
We have friends who love to take Cruises. They suggested that we try MSC as they are new to the U.S. and had some pretty competitive deals. We were excited to try them out as our first experience!!!.. Overall it was a great experience. The Ship was clean from top to bottom. Plenty of bars for service, a solid buffet, and the drink package is well worth it !! I would say stay away from the main ...
Where to begin…
First, thing to know is that even though you may have paid for excursions in advance. Excursions are not confirmed by the ship until the night before the excursion port at 8pm. Which means you may have your plans cancelled at the last minute and have very few options to rebook as the good tours are already full. This was very frustrating as we had 2 tours cancelled the night ...
We've cruise a range of lines before, including princess, celebrity , carnival, RCL and NCL. This cruise was great, highly comparable to NCL, Royal and Carnival, but not as good as princess or celebrity.
Hopefully this review is useful and debunks some of the other more critical reviews.
Pro's.....
- Large, clean and modern cruise ship
- Lots of great bars and lounges
- No ...
