Europe MSC Seaview Europe Cruise Reviews

To begin, I’ve sailed >5 times on Disney, Norwegian and Carnival so I have some cruising experience. That being said, it is hard to give an accurate rating to MSC because of their amazingly low prices. One should almost EXPECT to get “nickel and dimed” to death. The problem was that this “penny pinching” sorely distracted from my cruising experience. For example, passengers are offered ...

A) Embarkation: MSC allows passengers to choose a timeframe for embarkation. It was very fast and efficient. We had 11:00 to 12:00, and by 11:40 AM we were already inside our cabin. B) Cabin: extremely comfortable. Large, modern, spacious. Sofa is quite big for a ship cabin. Wardrobe and storage are limited, which is a little tough for a long trip like ours. Bathroom is modern and efficient. ...

We had a one week layover between two cruises in Barcelona and instead staying in hotels, decided to take this cruise. We are an older couple with 60+ cruises under our belt. Based on the many negative reviews on this board, we did not set our expectations too high. But we were pleasantly surprised. This is a beautiful, modern ship with state with the art high tech features. It appears to ...

As a family we have cruised before with TUI, Royal Caribbean and Princess; this cruise was a trial mini cruise on MSC to see how they compared as we keep seeing some great deals being offered. We booked 3 cabins, all with drinks packages (3 adults, 2 teens). We embarked at Palma, Mallorca after a night in a great hotel at Can Pastilla, the Hotel Helios (can highly recommend - has an ...

Our stateroom was a good size there were 3 of us staying in it, it never felt cramped. Enough wardrobe space and balcony was adequate. We asked for more pillows and got them. We asked for help connecting to WiFi customer services had it connected in minutes. My son (16) used it non stop and never complained about it being slow. I just used my roaming data as we were nearly always close enough to ...

My four children shared two cabins on the MSC Seaview in the Yacht Club so they weren’t bunking in with us. We were assured by MSC that “everything” was included. They couldn’t stress this enough. Yet they can’t get icecreams, or have any free inclusions in the games arcade. As they can’t drink the included alcohol this seems unreasonable. The staff are lovely and the rooms whilst not big are ...

SMOKING!!! The stench of cigarette smoke onboard is disgusting. There is meant to be a smoking policy that restricts smoking to the starboard side of the ship and the casino. There is no smoking allowed in cabins of on balconies. Someone forgot to tell the majority of the staff as people were smoking anywhere they liked and the smell was awful. The only time I seen smokers being challenge was ...

This was our first cruise with MSC and was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but our experience was very positive. We booked a Deluxe Balcony Suite Aurea experience. First, the embarkation process was quick and seamless, we boarded in Civitavecchia, we were on board within twenty minutes from luggage drop off to check in. As this was our first cruise with MSC we had a few ...

MSC Seaview - HORRIBLE, RACIST, SEXIST. MSC Cruise line is horrible. It was a waste of my time and money. Dealing with the reception and excursion staff is a little difficult because the communication with the MSC head office is not good, therefore lots of the staff don’t even know what’s going on. My assumption is that the problem is corporate and a lack of training. The cleaning and waitstaff ...

We chose this cruise as we had a weeks holiday before meeting family for another part of our trip and the dates and location of the ship fitted perfectly. We have been on cruises for over 30 years and have sampled many cruise lines over that time, and have changed our style of cruising as our kids were little/grew up/had kids of their own. This was our first with MSC, and i had not read many ...
