Disappointed with cancellation of itinerary and not informed of change prior to embarking
"Embarkation was easy and organised
The highlight were the exceptional staff especially cabin dinner and entertainment staff so friendly and cooperative
Poor nightly shows the best was done by the crew
Good was good except not hot enough
The shops had little to offer and very expensive
Their spa was very expensive for all areas massage, spas etc
On shore excursions were not well organised and very expensive also their descriptions are misleading
Biggest complaint is their bookkeeping system and reception staff not trained properly which made for a very frustrating and stressful cruise
Little compensation but could not cover the overall disappointment of their decision to not go into the most important ports
Met amazing people on the cruise and participated in many activities with the staff who give 100% in everything they do
Nothing to watch on tv
No water offered in dining room unless you paid forGreat itinerary with very interesting ports alas the highlight ports were cancelled without being informed of this change and no interesting ports were added...."Read More

The ship itself is wonderful, well laid out, constant cleaning & maintenance daily.
Very clean & fantastic staff in bars, pool area’s & toilets.
The buffet has plenty of choices although food could be hotter at times.
My biggest gripe are the reception & excursion staff. I’m not sure how they were employed as customer service should be first & fore within any company.
Arrogant & ...

MSC Cruises have been a familiar choice for us, residing in Europe, and our recent experience aboard the MSC Splendida was a departure from the ordinary. This voyage was particularly special as it marked the celebration of my week-long bachelor party with friends. While the cruise had its ups and downs, it was an overall memorable experience.
The staff on the MSC Splendida lived up to our ...

28 days from Dubai to Hamburg visiting places I had never been was the mantra for our cruise.
We set sail on March 12th 2020, same day I believe the world Pandemic was officially announced. Should MSC have let the cruise depart Dubai? - absolutely not. MSC's only objective was to get their vessel back to one of its home ports. There was no regard given as to the well being of its passengers, ...

Travelled as a party of 7 to celebrate a birthday.
The Yacht Club is promoted as being special, but the concierge desk really let it down. No assistance at any time, always told to go away and come back later (as excursion desk was not open, bar that had made a mistake on on bill wasn't open, surely their purpose is to sort things out and get back to you if there is any issue, not to make you ...

7 night ME cruise from Dubai with my wife over Xmas. The ship itself was fine, but the food in the buffet and main dining room was pretty poor. Low quality and variety. The fresh pizzas were good, as were the breads, pastries and barista made coffee. Plenty of bars, with the best range of wines being in Dim Sum. Ship was packed, but the bar and seating area at the back of deck 15 was good. Very ...
