"We took this cruise because the itinerary was good, the price was right and it dovetailed with the end of a land tour that we took in Croatia. However, we did not anticipate that the ship would be full of Italians..."Read More

1-10 of 61 Mediterranean MSC Opera Mediterranean Cruise Reviews
It had a very good itinerary of destinations, at the right time for our plans.
The destinations were great. The ship was very clean and comfortable. The food was awful. Very little selection, very slow service, very bland tasting, very little portions, very plain food. The pizza and baked fish were good.
Everything was for sale - that normally comes standard with most quality cruises. ...
We read all the reviews. We have a balcony cabin it is great, yes the shower is small but really it is good.
The staff have been fantastic
The food is good, really good. The buffers have everything thing you could need
The beds are comfortable and bangs fit under the beds
This is our second msc cruise and it is just plain good Value
When we read the reviews we were suspicious, ...
Ship is very much understaffed and absolutely not able to offer good cruise for such big number of passengers onboard. Obviously company is trying to save money on all aspects, including food, number of their employees, entertainment variety, and so on.
Dining area on deck 11 is crowded without place to sit, so only way to eat is to take plate outside or in a room.
Automatic hand disinfect ...
The ship is very unorganized.
The food was the same every day.
Front desk clerk named Barbara Uchiyama was always scowling and treating guests without the least education and attention.
The tours were disorganized.
The guides hired by MSC knew almost nothing about the tours, reaching the height of not wanting to take us to the Mount of Olives in Israel because he preferred to take ...
I picked this cruise for the price as a solo traveller as I thought the itinerary was good for the time of the year (Dec), overall I got good value for money as the ship was clean and the crew hard working. The food in the buffet was good Italian fare with hotdogs and burgers always a favourite for the kids and grown up's alike. The big let down for me was the standard of food in the restaurants ...
This was our first cruise with M.S.C. cruises and we chose this cruise for the itinerary not the ship. Before we booked our cruise we looked on various websites for reviews on the Opera but there was not many, and what there was were not very good. The majority of the passengers were from Italy as you would expect as this cruise line is Italian and sailing from Venice. If anyone is looking for a ...
This was our first cruising experience and definitely our last with MSC. We travelled with another family who have been on quite a few cruises.
From the start we were left feeling disappointed with the length of question to board the ship and then being ushered past the welcome drinks because of the que system to get on board.
Our room was small but there was no mention in the brochure ...
We felt there was a lot of waiting in lines. But the guests were very rude, arrogant & pushy. And people invade your space. Waiting for a shuttle bus, for approx 200 people and only one arrived a fight broke out.
There needs to be more organisation. There is hardly any waiting staff around the pool & go to the bar you would die of thirst waiting to be served.
The ship is clean, but in parts ...
Picked this cruise from Bari as we wanted to come back to Bari and spend time in the Puglia area..
Cruise was great although more time could have been spent in ports .
Restaurant waiters and service was great and food too.
Our housekeeper Mundir was very helpful and always there if Needed. Room was always cleaned to perfection.
Entertainment staff were the best I have come across on ...
