Let me start off saying I never leave reviews for anything but this definite needed one. I got sick twice from the shrimp cocktail I served once in the dining room and the other at butchers cut. I threw up everything I ate the entire cruise. On the first day I got a burger that was undercooked. I could barely eat anything because the food was not tolerable. It takes a lot for me to say that ...
I used to rave about MSC and thought it was a great cruise line. I had some great cruises on them in 2021 and 2022. I was going to try to doublle up my 3 day cruise and make a 7 day but the cruise ship was coming from a transatlantic cruise. I thought it was odd that they were porting and going straight back out you would think the ship would need a day for maintenance, a thorough cleaning, and ...
We decided to give MSC a try despite the mixed reviews because the price was so good. It wasnt perfect but given the price, issues were minor. It is great deal. We paid for Aurea level and I feel it was worth it.
The room was outdated and the porcelin in the toilet was scratched. But the suite was large, and storage was ample. It was also clean. The pillows that came with the bed were ...
Embarkation and Muster Drill
Embarking on the MSC Magnífica from Miami on December 11, 2023, marked the beginning of a cruise that unfolded with both highlights and nuances. The unique muster drill, requiring room dialing before reaching the muster station, presented an interesting departure from conventional safety briefings but left room for improvement in terms of clarity and ...
I would avoid booking with MSC at ALL costs. To start, the food was barely edible. Everything was either over cooked, undercooked, or bland. Everything is served room temperature even in the restaurants. Bartenders couldn’t care less about who came first and they like to ignore you. The customer service was absolutely atrocious. The vodka shooter in my room had been refilled with water. Upon ...
This was our first cruise and had our hopes high with all my friends and family talking about their experiences in other cruises like Carnival or Royal Caribbean. Our first day started with unsatisfactory food options. The group we were traveling with had people who are vegetarian and few who do not eat pork or beef. The only option we had we had was roast chicken throughout the trip. Our seated ...
Typically we choose cruises of at least 7 nights, but we were able to get such a great deal on this 4 night cruise that we decided to go
We were in an ocean view cabin. The cabin was typical in size and provided the standard amenities. Bed was comfortable and the shower was reasonably sized. Porthole window whole not as fun as a balcony did provide some light and little bit of a ...
This was my very first Transatlantic cruise. I booked it early because the low price was too great to miss out on. Then I started reading the reviews coming out during summer and was worried I would have a bad experience. It seems the cruiseline was reading them also. Most of the staff on our sailing had only been working on the ship for 2 months or less, which means they fired all the old ...
This was my 4th time on an MSC ship and this was so far the worst experience that we had. Not sure why the itinerary didn't include Nassau we only went to their private Island.
Here are the pros: The ship and room were clean and the entertainment crew from the shows did a great job.
Here are the cons: The room was very small. The ship was beyond crowded. Only one specialty restaurant that ...
We wanted a short, inexpensive cruise and that is what we got. MSC does not compare well with the better cruise lines like Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, and Royal Caribbean. The best comparison is Carnival, but with a high-end clientele. I am not a foodie but the food was bad. Activities are the typical cruise activities. MSC customer service is fine so long as you don't have any problems. ...
