I made this cruise with MSC and never had such a bad experience. I reported my complaints at MSC and the even refused a compensation!!!!!!
The transfer was a mess, the embarkation was very bad.
I booked an Aurea Suite(!) no window to open nor a balcony. I asked for a swap but was told off by the receptionist.
In the bars (from an Italian ship) there was no Martini available nor Aperol. ...
As my partner and I have always wanted to see Petra and enjoy cruising with MSC, we thought this would be an ideal opportunity to take an extended holiday that would cover both, and also spend my partner’s birthday onboard.
We’ve written several reviews of MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida in the past, so I’ll try not to repeat the same information again, as already written about the sparkly ...
OVERALL - Very good value, we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and would consider MSC in future.
We heard some comments from more experienced MSC cruisers suggesting that the ship was not as good as others in their fleet, but from our viewpoint (with experience of numerous other lines) we found little to be unhappy about.
MAIN DINING ROOM – meals were mostly good, sometimes excellent and ...
First dinner night was stunned to find that you had to pay for water and tea or coffee. It is impossible to get a place around the pools. People were getting up at 04:30 to put their stuff on chairs. Continuous selling on board of drink packages etc. Unable to cancel an excursion without going to ships doctor (we were told that it would cost 70 to 80 Euros) this when we were not feeling well. tour ...
I'm sorry I don't have time to write a lengthy detailed review of our cruise in the Fantasia's Yacht Club. Actually we were on board for a total of 25 days in that we had a one week Persian Gulf cruise Dubai-Dubai before embarking on the Dubai-Civitavecchia repositioning cruise. Yacht club is a fantastic experience and I'd be hard pressed to find anything negative to report. Our cabin (15002) ...
Hi.
I thought I'd write a review of our recent voyage as it would appear at times that only negative reviews seem to to be posted. So here goes:
My Wife and I chose this cruise to celebrate our anniversary. Neither of us had sailed with MSC before, although for comparison we have sailed with Princess, P&O, NCL and Celebrity Nor had we visited the Middle-East.
All reviews are subjective I ...
Cruised onboard fantasia departing from Abu Dhabi on the 19/03/2017 My honest advise would be don't go it really is as bad as all the other reviews. We decided to try MSC as we liked the itinerary and the price was very competitive compared to the other cruise lines. We have been on many other cruises with RC and Celebrity and can honestly say your better off to pay more !! The food is really ...
This was our first cruise with MSC after 6 with Thomson’s. We cruised from Abu Dhabi on the 19/03/2017 for 7 nights. On arrival at ship we were informed that itinerary had been changed. We had a Balcony cabin and up-graded to a Premium drinks package. The ship was full with the majority of the clients not English. Notes are as follows: -
1 - Embarkation = OK. Arrived at Ship at 08:30 and got ...
I chose this cruise after a short 'taster' cruise last year on Splendida. We were so impressed with the service after years with RCI that we decided to give MSC another try. We were not dissapointed. Boarding in Abhu Dhabi was Quick and effortless. The ship was immaculate, easily on a par to RCI. Staff were without exception friendly and helpful.
Trip was a little spoilt by unseasonable poor ...
The answer to the heading is a big FAT NO! Not even for free.
It's not the ship that has the faults even though it does need an overhaul, quite dated and looking old. It's the staff and the incredible bad food.
The staff overall are dame right rude. If you ever go to reception and ask advise they are patronising and ignorant. I asked why the slide hadn't opened in the first to days? ...
