The Italians know how to cruise. We felt welcome as soon as we set foot on the ship. We had sailed on the Divina previously and encountered several crew members who welcomed us back like family. Any problems were minor and eventually resolved. This is a big ship and it is the cleanest ship we've ever sailed. We toured behind the scenes and found all areas immaculate. Wait staff extremely ...
Five stars for this cruise! Was it perfect? No.... But, I am comparing it with a crossing from Santos to Hamburg with the same ship 2 years ago and the MSC Magnifica has definitely improved. Besides that, once you get used to the imperfections of MSC cruises, or what you think are imperfections comparing to other cruise lines, you do not focus anymore on those issues. At least I do not ...
My friend and I flew from New Zealand to board the MSC Orchestra on its repositioning cruise from Rio to Genoa. We had a wonderful experience and are keen to repeat. The cruise was amazing value for money and we think we got a five star experience for a two star price. Thanks MSC.
Our balcony twin cabin, of a good size, was more than adequate for our needs and was kept clean and tidy at all ...
This was the maiden voyage of the Divina from Venice to Miami, 18 days aboard luxury.
Well this was our third Cruise with MSC,and upon walking aboard at Venice, we were pleasantly amazed.
We check internet rates,Repositioning cruises and do a lot of trolling cruise lines before deciding,but have found MSC have certainly upped their game since our first cruise on the Armonia.
The Divina is in a ...
My parents and i were on a 9 week holiday from Australia and we were traveling with 5 other people. We had already done a 14 night Adriatic/ Greek island cruise on ncl Jade a week earlier. I was really looking forward to sailing on MSC as i had already seen footage on you tube of how beautiful it was. We organized a private taxi to drop us at the terminal and we when we arrived the staff were at ...
Divina Transatlantic cruise Venice to Miami November 2nd 2013
This was our third cruise with MSC in Twelve months and our second transatlantic, despite all the issues with MSC since booking way back in early January we had high expectations of the Divina which is basically a stretched Musica class ship.
Embarkation.
We arrived at the port of Venice at around 11-45 am handed over our cases and ...
Just back after an amazing 16 nights on this beautiful ship. From the minute I walked onto the ship until it was time to leave, I was blown away with the whole experience.
The layout of the ship with all the different bars and lounges is different to any other ship I have cruised on.
First time in a balcony cabin, so nothing to compare with. I had a huge double bed and a 2 seater settee as well ...
This cruise began in Genoa, visiting Barcelona, Lisbon, Tenerife and Lanzarote before cruising the South Atlantic to Brazil visiting Salvador, Buzios and Santos where we were bussed to Sao Paulo for the long flight home with British Airways.
The weather was very kind to us and, especially during the 6 day cruise from Tenerife to Brazil, was hot and sunny.
The Preziosa is a new ship. MSC take ...
I cannot believe the moans I have encountered during this cruise and some of the ridiculously negative reviews I have read upon returning . Facts the ship is beautiful the staff that I encountered were all very nice people yes some of the food could have been better, particularly in the main restaurant and if i put my mind to it I could find little things to nit-pick on about. it seemed to me that ...
I was astounded to read that MSC have only a 54% passenger satisfaction rating, so was apprehensive when I booked an outside balcony cabin for a 17 night Transatlantic cruise for the bargain price of just £770. My wife and I have cruised twice with P&O who set the bar very high, but we were not disappointed. On the contrary, the MSC experience was better in almost every way.
We bought a ...
