I chose this cruise line because they advertise in my TV area of Texas and after a total of eight cruises Cunard and Holland American Cruises I thought I would try a different line. Booked and paid for $2,100.00 for balcony aurea all inclusive package. Did western Caribbean cruise and was not accommodated with easy access tours. Was told I am too old (age 76) and disabled to cruise the ...
First because it was scheduled to go to Cuba but that changed and we couldn't go to Cuba.
Another reason was the cost, it was a reasonable cost for 7 days.
Our first excursion was on Jamaica at Ocho Rios and was a fiasco. The disorganization to get our packages for the tender etc was terrible. We had to assemble in the theater and wait for our number to be called to collect our package and ...
We chose this cruise because the price was very attractive, but buyer beware - they charge for absolutely everything on the cruise. Over the course of a week, it really adds up;, and we do not drink much or gamble. The biggest problem in every department was a lock of training, both in how to do the job and in what the job really is. There is absolutely no emphasis on friendliness or service, ...
MSC has been heavily promoting its new luxury ships. Then we got a price offer that was great. So, we decided to give MSC a try. When we arrived at the port we found the Armonia, the oldest ship in the MSC fleet. The interior was outdated and shabby. The food was cold, over cooked, and tasteless. We tried for better by paying the up charge at their specialty restaurant. No luck. When I sent the ...
Once I have said that the crew were excellent and the food really good I have said all the positive things I could say about this cruise. The ship was just not up to standard. I do not know how some of the passengers were able to shower as the shower cubical was so tiny. There was no where to sit in the cabin other than on the bed, thankfully the balcony had two chairs we could sit on when it ...
Do yourself a favor, research the ship’s age before you book a cruise. It has been decades since we have been on an MSC ship. In between we have cruised on medium sized ships with lots of lines, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Holland America, Carnival etc. All have been great to very good. Then we went back to MSC because we saw a “Fantastica” level balcony, seven day Caribbean cruise for ...
This was the worst Cruise line I've ever been on. I took my 20 year old son on it for his first cruise and was embarrassed. The ship's elevator kept breaking down. They changed our itinerary and we couldn't stop at the port that we wanted to see the most. They kept us on their tiny ship that day instead and did not provide any alternative entertainment for us. The entertainment was awful. They ...
I am a "cruisecoholic" and have been in many cruises with several cruise lines. This was my first time (and definitely my LAST time) with MSC. The ship barely moved due to technical problems (poor maintenance!), the itinerary kept changing (it's obvious that if you can't move you can't get anywhere...), the food was bad and monotonic, the service was nothing like I am used to in other cruises, the ...
This was by far the worse cruise I have ever experienced. First they really were disorganized and out dated. The ship was old and difficult to navigate. The rooms were so small and seemed like they just wanted to cramp as many people into that boat as possible. We didn't even see the places that we were supposed to stay. They try to nickle and dime you on everything even after you already ...
On Armonia 6 weeks ago & decided to go again as a treat. BIG mistake! Embarkation found us in a hot hall with disposable rubber gloves and plastic garbage bags trying to remove our clothes from my husbands bag which was covered with grease... crew was un responsive & said we did it...SERIOUSLY???? Disembarkation was hours standing in a hot lounge with people cutting in line & blaring "music" . ...
