MSC Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

I was offered 50% discount on a future cruise after breaking my fibula on MSC Seaview- chose a 7-nt Med cruise. •MSC changed the itinerary before departure, no longer visiting Croatia (added 2 nts by way of compensation) •embarkation was chaos •room was ‘tired’ & needs a refurb •bathroom sink water didn’t drain, called plumber to fix •connecting balcony door rattled all the time (I ...

I have cruised over 14 times, first and last time with MSC! Overcrowded, understaffed and dirty. Purchased a drink package, but getting a drink from the bar is a mess. Servers are overwhelmed, waiting 30 minutes, begging a bar tender to fill you order. The food is terrible! I won’t cruise with MSC again. Royal Caribbean is night and day difference and much higher quality! The buffet can’t keep up ...

We have cruised over 14 times with many different cruise lines. This was our 30th wedding anniversary and a cruise to greece.. What a mess! The staff was completely understaffed, disgruntled and overwhelmed! Getting a drink was a nightmare! The food was terrible! We were so disappointed! The dining room is usually such a memorable experience.. Not on msc! The buffets were not replenished and ...

If you have a family do not book MSC Cruises!!! They will separate your family. That's what they did we us. We booked 2 rooms with 6 months in advance, one in front of the other. 2 weeks before the departure we learned that they changed one of the rooms to 3 decks above. We called and emailed many times before the trip, but nothing helped. They claimed they couldn't do anything and we should ...

I choose this cruise for the itinerary and had never cruised with MSC before. Our distilled water for a CPAP Machine was not available even though the request was made online. The food was terrible. No flavor, bland, repetitive, no variety. I lost 10 lbs on the 30 day cruise. Contradicting instructions given all the time. Two of our tours were changed and we were not told about until the night ...

We have just completed a seven day cruise on the MSC Musica to Greek Islands starting from Haifa yesterday the 4th May 2023 The ships senior front of house and officers need to show understanding that there are paying passengers aboard and treat them accordingly The cruise in itself was mediocre at best the waiters and room staff were good and no complaints on their service but whilst we ...

Shambolic from start to finish. Embarking was a nightmare, with queues of people waiting hours, I had a disabled diabetic person with me who was in desperate need of food and facilities. I had to queue jump many many people to get some attention. Staff were unable to cope. Not a good first impression! Eventually we boarded several hours late and the some of our luggage arrived during the night and ...

Very smooth experience priority boarding in terminal. I had booked two suites and the Aurea experience, so we had a nice check in. It ended there as there was a long queue and wait for the tender. Apparently, the boat was late arriving and therefore late disembarking. These things happen but we weren't informed and had to sit freezing on the tender for over two hours and felt very ...

The MSC Armonia is old and tired. Smoking is allowed in the casino and outside at designated smoking areas. Doesn’t make the ship smell very nice. The tendering process for embarking was not explained beforehand and is extremely slow. Service is awful in the restaurants as well as the quality of food. The only reason we picked this specific cruise/company was the travel dates. Bed sheets were ...

I spent six weeks travelling through South Africa and decided to return to Europe by cruise. In spring 2023 there were exactly five ships doing this. Costa, Aida, Phoenix and two MSC vessels. Costa visited on the world cruise and no cabin was available. Aida did a fast track through the Atlantic Ocean and mainly visited ports in Europe, in my opinion no attractive itinerary. Phoenix did extensive ...
