It was as if the staff had been told to push to sell everything to you, even had to pay for bottled water in the cabin which was a first for us having been on other cruise lines .And there were more speciality restaurants (have to pay ) than included dining .
The entertainment (apart from the pantheon theatre) was repeated every night by the same singers and same songs (boring) .the sports bat ...
On the pro side entertainment is really good, diversified live music throughout the different bars/venues, particularly from 5.30 PM untill 11.30PM/+ consisting of a live band on the main bar and then small piano / live singing throughout the different venues on the ship.
Main show with different performers offering different genres, opera, pop music, dance, acrobats , consistently delivered ...
Most cruises are so much fun, we always ask where did the time go? before you know it the cruise is over, so we thought this would be the perfect way to enjoy a lengthy 18 day cruise, only this cruise we were counting the days for it to end!
We knew having to wear a mask the entire time indoors would be a trade off for 1/3 capacity during our sailing, but it wasn’t long when we started noticing ...
Embarkation was slow, slow, slow, as was disembarkation. Disembarking the ship was 30 minutes behind after only 60 minutes. We decided to walk off before our time to make our travel connections and found no line, either getting off the ship or at customs. Music (live or otherwise) and a party atmosphere was no where to be found on deck and in the pool area. On stage cooking competitions, trivia ...
Review of the annual Holistic Cruise from Feb. 21 - 28th. No, I'm not Holistic, see last paragraph. My 1st MSC Cruise was the 11 night over New Years. We had so much fun (see that review) that we had to go again before the ship left the U.S. this March for a year. I have to be honest, I picked the Divina again because I've never in our previous 10 cruises seen any ship have the quality of ...
We chose this cruise for 2 reasons. First we had sailed on the Divina a few years ago and absolutely loved it. Secondly it was the right timing for our schedules (2 couples). We arrived at the cruise port for our embarkation time but had to wait 1 hour and even then our cabin was not ready. The cabin was not what we thought we were getting. It was quite small and there wasn’t a sofa (as depicted ...
We have taken 6 cruises with 3 different cruise lines, This was our least favourite for multiple reasons
MSC and our travel agent failed to inform us that there would be 2000 vegan cruisers on this cruise and they would be taking 100% of the early dining. All other passengers were restricted to 8:30 p.m. dining. ( really who eats a meal at 8:30 p.m.? !!!! )
All of our documentation ...
This was our second MCS cruise and it didn’t disappoint! Great crew, food, shows and ports! I loved the SPA and got several massages. Also used the laundry service and it was excellent! Going on another MSC this month. The only news channel was CNN and we did not like this. Don’t understand why they would only have them. Many others also made comments about this. Really not enough time to ...
My husband and I specifically chose this cruise to participate in a Holistic (Vegan) Holiday at Sea. The cruise experience was mediocre at best, but from talking to others, not everyone felt the same way. However, probably 9 out of 10 people we asked had opinions that echoed ours: the crowding, disorganization, and poor food were discouraging.This was my fourth cruise so I had a good idea of what ...
I was a little apprehensive before embarking on this cruise due to the numerous negative reviews posted in January. However, none of my fears materialized.
One review stated that they waited 2 hours for their food to arrive at dinner. I am not sure what happened with them, but we were attended to quickly, the food arrived within a nice span of time, and the serving staff was friendly and ...
