Review for a Middle East Cruise on MSC Virtuosa

After reading all of the awful reviews I had started dreading this cruise. However, I ended up really enjoying it.
Embarkation was really smooth and quick. We had a cabin with a living room and separate bedroom and a long balcony with a hot tub on it, which we have never had before and which were really nice. The only problem with the living room was the bed settee which seemed to be really ...

This was our second cruise and we were apprehensive due to some of the previous reviews we had seen.
Embarkation was very easy, plenty of staff directing us to where we needed to be and allowed us entry onto the ship earlier than our stated time which was helpful.
Marketplace buffet was very chaotic and perhaps time slots may ease this but choice of food was very good. The allocated ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on MSC Opera

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
Booked by family, they were 11 of us. Great experience for a first time. Staff are welcoming and are always willing to help, but some struggled with English. Stop in Khasaab from Dubai then Muscat, gives you a chance to see Oman, although its very empty and boring. I wish is the cruise stopped at 6am and leaves next day 6am because, a 6am to 6pm is not enough time to see a city. Prices need to be ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on MSC World Europa

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
This cruise was a "first" for me in several respects: my first solo cruise, my first non-English speaking cruise, and my first cruise on a "super size" ship. Having cruised mainly ships whose passengers are mainly American or English speaking, I was curious to try the MSC line, which is an Italian cruise line and caters more to the European crowd. I look for good value on a cruise, which for me, ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
We have been on several cruises in the Caribbean,Middle East and Asia.
We chose this Cruise because we were going to Dubai anyway.
We have sailed with MSC before.
The choices out of Dubai are limited so having booked this and having read the reviews I was honestly not expecting much.
However we have been so pleasantly surprised.
The food has been excellent and the staff among the ...

Chose due the location- winter sun, price and itinerary.
Older ship but very well maintained. Staff lovely, hard working and attentive.
Food good, but not the choice or quality of royal Caribbean or celebrity.
Quality drinks package choice of premium spirits and European beers.
Ports of call were interesting and we had plenty of time in port to explore.
The private island would ...

This was our first cruise in over two years due to pandemic and was a largely positive experience. We chose the Yacht Club area which provides a quiet and all inclusive experience within the larger ship with its extensive facilities.
Staff were all friendly and helpful. In some cases, you could see that they were newly in post or back at work but were always willing.
I think that the ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on MSC Bellissima

Background Information: The amount of bureaucracy involving this 7 nights cruise, 2 of them sea days, is too much. Excursions are its best point. So, if in spite of all the annoying formalities prior, while, and before you want to discover Saudi Arabia, go ahead. For a relaxing vacation, point anywhere else.
Travel To Port of Embarkation: We bought the cruise with airfare (Saudia Airlines) and ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on MSC Lirica

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We chose the cruise as we were celebrating our birthday. The embarkation process went seamlessly; we were shepherded from airport to ship with no problems. There was some waiting for our rooms to become available once on the ship, however, we were roomed before the advertised at 2 pm. Suitcases also arrived in good time.
We were kept well-informed re. activities and entertainment onboard ...

Very Critical
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We had not been with MSC before, and I must say, that we were very pleasantly surprised. Yes, we know that it is a new ship, that it is large, and would probably be crowded and noisy, but we had a very enjoyable week.
There was always something to do, the staff were super friendly and helpful and efficient.
They also smiled!
Entertainment was good. We didn’t see all of the shows, but we ...
