MSC Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

I have sailed with this company on three previous occasions and have enjoyed them all. We booked accommodation in Genoa for three nights before cruise and although the weather was cold and showery we had a great time walking all over the city. We arrived at the cruise terminal early but everything went smoothly and after waiting on a seat for 30 minutes we were able to board. Our cabin was ...

A brand new MSC ship straight out of Monfalcone shipyard - the same shipyard that buiilds Carnival and most other modern cruise line ships. Finally a cruise ship with an truly innovative design. The external areas are amazing, there's nothing like that on any other ship, period. Huge sundecks, much wider than usual, an amazing acquapark, longest ever zipline at sea, and my very favorite spot on ...

I had the opportunity to sail on the Seaside on her crossing over, and by and large I was quite impressed. The balcony staterooms felt roomy, although storage was a bit of an issue. The shows on board were very good, and I really enjoyed the specialty dining on board. Loved that most of the restaurants were in one area of the ship with a shared bar, it felt very deluxe - although the bar service ...

VcI just love cruising especially the longer cruises. This is our 20 th cruise and it is one of the best company which have a lot of cruises we love because we love going to different countries and also all of the other MSC SHIPS are fabulous but this was not good for us this time, There ships are just fantastic but they made a big mistake with the cabins in this ship and they need to get this ...

There are growing pains -and then there is bone-deep hell. This was our first MSC cruise and probably our last. In all of our cruising, we have never seen a cruise ship filled with so many pi**ed off customers. I'll list the pros and cons for easy reading: Cons: 1) Long elevator waits/multiple elevators consistently not working 2) Lack of ship hygiene and access to hand sanitization (if ...

Having sailed with MSC before, my wife and I thought a cruise on the new MSC Seaside would be great. How wrong we were. This was our 14th cruise with various cruise lines so we know what to expect on a cruise. This ship was not ready to sail anywhere. The toilets overflowed or did not flush; also taps in the restrooms were not always working. Some of the staircases were taped off, one of the ...

We wanted to experience an Inaugural Cruise and the Seaside transatlantic from Trieste to Miami fit the bill. The ship is beautiful and glitzy and very stable--sometimes we didn't even feel like we were moving. The shows are extraordinary and the Jungle area for children and the child in each of us was wonderful. The dancing instructors were fabulous, especially the Argentinian Dance Academy ...

The worst food ever offered on any Holliday we have been on, very slow service more often forgotten. Staff to client ratio not as advertised. They use every oportunity to throw hidden charges at you. 3.95 plus service charge for water in the room somehow not included in the drinks package! Even orange juice is chargeable on an all inclusive? Watch out for the hidden service charges. Prepare to ...

I am sailing on the maiden voyage of the MSC SEASIDE from Trieste, Italy to Miami, Florida. Overall the ship is well designed. I purchased the Thermal Spa Package, which gives unlimited access to the dry sauna, Jacuzzi, steam rooms, Himalayan Salt Room, hot beds and relax rooms. There are several issues that need to be worked out, which I believe MSC has been aware of for some time now. It ...

The breakfast, lunch and dinners were the same each day at both of the buffets. The lunch buffet was the same as the dinner buffet. I couldn't wait to get off the boat in the different ports so I could enjoy some good food. The buffet food wasn't of very good quality. The quality of the food was of the same quality as a person could find at any cafeteria. IHOP has a better selection ...
