MSC Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Only cruise I have been on. NEVER AGAIN! Crowds everywhere. Lines for everything. Loud music or crowd noise, no matter where you go. Hard to find any place to carry on a conversation. Buffet food was just OK but the sit down restrauant was very good. We had an inside room. It was nice but quite small. Everything is very glitzy and modern looking. The environment is very much based on using the MSc ...

We have been on about 15-20 cruises in our lifetime. We’ve traveled on Carnival, Celebrity, RCCL, Norwegian and now MSC. We are in our late sixties, married 35 years, live in So. Fla and cruised mostly to the Bahamas, Caribbean & Mexico as it’s the best vacation value w/out dealing with air travel. Port of Miami & Ft Laud have all the cruises you want right in our backyard. We don’t mind spending ...

The MDR was awful. Too many people crammed in. No room for the waiters to work. Terrible menus and awful food (quality and portion size). My wife had runny paella one evening and it came with one shrimp and an unopened mussel. When she complained that the mussel was probably bad the Head Waiter brought her three more unopened mussels! We only went about five times out of fourteen. The buffet ...

We (2 adults) chose this cruise specifically for the date (it fit our calendars) and the ports - Martinique, Guadaloupe, St Lucia, Barbados, St Vincent & Grenada). I was a bit hesitant because of all the negative reviews but WOW! We did not have a single complaint. Nice cabin (comfortable bed, veranda and full size couch.) The food was good at both the dining room and buffet BUT the ...

Since we had already been on Msc cruise, we chose to celebrate my husband 60th birthday. We had breakfast and lunch at the buffet and dinner in the dinning room. The servers were great. They were very attentive and tried their best in communicating with us. Some spoke several languages which impressed us. We watched every show and not all were good. We were told by a crew member that they ...

The ship was huge and beautiful. Staff at Port not organized not helpful Crew on the ship were non energetic, boring, rude, standoffish, not helpful, and racist. Cabin not cleaned properly and not fully stoked. Maid was lazy and had to keep asking him for everything Entertainment sucked. Everything was geared towards Europeans and Hispanics. No one really spoke English, if they ...

If you want luxury and very personal polite professional customer service that is way above all the rest of the cruise lines, take this one and bathe in the exceptional service. In addition to the variety of wonderful cuisine, we had amazing specialty evenings at the Butcher's Cut, Ocean Cay Seafood and Hola Tacos and Cantina that were extraordinary. Marketplace Buffet food was extremely ...

I chose this cruise line after hearing positive reviews from friends. However, they hadn't cruised on the Magnifica. My family and I were disappointed with the food and drinks offered. When ordering scallop ceviche, I received tiny shrimp on lettuce with no seasoning. I ordered gumbo and received chicken broth with clams and some rice. Drinks were inconsistent with many being either watered down ...

- boring ship. Activities are minimal. And when they do happen they are sub par - pools shut down at 8. Hot tubs not actually hot. - staffing seems low. They have the employees but they hangout like they’re are friends chit chatting while not caring for guests. - the emergency training meetings was a joke. When to the theatre to be told we had to go back to room to watch the video. Many ...

We chose this cruise line as we had previously been on a few P & O cruises and felt that they had become more about quantity than quality. Our local travel agent recommended MSC and whilst P & O were offering a similar cruise at 3 times less than the price we paid, we booked a Christmas experience. Well, it certainly was an experience unfortunately, not of the great type. We embarked with ...
