My husband and I just returned from our first cruise with MSC and we traveled with 10 other people who, also, have never cruised with MSC. Usually, we return home with great things to say about the cruise lines we experience, but this one is much different.
To start, before we ever left, we made several phone calls to inquire/clarify about general information ranging from vaccinations, curling ...
We have been with MSC Divina from 27th January 2023 on a 10 night cruise through caribbean and south america. It was the worst experience we had so far with MSC and we were before that on couple different MSC cruises and ships.
The ship itself has a beautiful design and a lot to offer. Embarkation in Miami went smoothly and without any problems. We went straight to the buffet restaurant for ...
I Booked an 11 day cruise nearly 1 year ago along with 5 other families. From day one, whenever any of us called customer service we were given conflicting information to various questions. IE: drink packages...does the dining room have tables to accommodate 12 in our group.
Obviously their representatives do not know your product well enough too give the same answers.
I searched and ...
We took a B2B cruise on the Divina from January 20 to Feb 6. I’ll be honest, this was our test cruise to see if we would ever book on MSC again after many problems with their IT and two previous bad MSC cruises. One was at the start of COVID and the other was March, 2022. We have sailed twice on the Divina pre-COVID (five star reviews) and enjoyed our trips but this one was a major letdown in so ...
This was my 3rd solo cruise on the Divina since October and my 4th MSC cruise in the last year. All have been good, but this one was great, primarily because of the people I met and group at my table. We had a great time and did many activities together.
The boarding process was the fastest I have experienced. I arrived at the port at 10:40 for an 11:00 AM scheduled boarding and was at the ...
I was on this ship for the corona cruise 3/13/2020 so I gave it another chance a few weeks ago. Most of it, especially customer service, was a colossal failure.
Pros:
Main dining room
Adult pool
Room attendants
Cons:
Guest services
Intrusive maintenance
Horrifyingly bad shows on repeat from years ago.
Maintenance used our balcony for half our trip and we had to close ...
This was my 19th cruise and this was by far the worst cruise I’ve been on.
Starting when we got on and our stateroom was disgusting. The walls had marks all over them, the towels looked used. Asked guest services to have someone come, no one did for 4 hours. Then I asked again, and again. And it finally got done.
The bars- every bar was understaffed and the staff they had was honestly ...
Choose cruise to discover a variety of Central American ports, and for the affordability. Understaffed with exhausted and overworked employees who are willing to openly speak about the bad working conditions; apparently experienced staff were shipped to new MSC ships being launched. Short staff and full ship means you wait, wait, wait. Main buffet offers very basic repetitive options. Decided to ...
After traveling many other cruise lines I can honestly recommend you to save your time, money and experience. The worst customer service I have ever encountered.
People in customer service department were rude and useless (ironic, as they should be the first ones to represent the brand) so I asked for assistant manager. He first made an appointment with us and was late. After he heard us about ...
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 ...
