Just got back form a 6 night med cruise on this ship,
Embarkation and disembarkation went as well as expected.
In the main the ship was nice, the public areas are good and clean.
Cabins (we were in 11210) was very nice.
Dinning:- The buffet.
This was probably the best food you will find on the ship and the best for selection.
If you like your coffee I'd would recommend the ...
MSC Splendida
We stayed on the MSC Splendida for one week! The experiences was from positive through to negative.
The negative feeling after the trip unfortunately prevailed: it was our first and last cruise and we could not wait to leave the ship at the end.
In general:
The Splendida is an imposing and beautiful ship, which has a lot to offer. It appears neat and clean. It was also ...
Genoa seven day Western Med 23 September 2017
Firstly i was conscious to book outside school holidays to have a more relaxing cruise.Was hesitant to book with this cruise line after reading some reviews and looking at food on You Tube. How wrong i was. Been on the Celebrity Solstice around NZ. Found the dinning room food to be sub standard. two out of ten and the Celebrity Equinox around the ...
We chose this cruise because it visited all but one places we had not been to. Having travelled on the MSC Opera we knew what to expect and then it was a good trip with the only short falls being the way it catered for mainly non-UK guests.
Embarkation went reasonably well, very very busy at Valencia, people jostling about and queue jumping, checking in cases then queueing again. Disembarkation ...
We got the Fantastica experience that included 12 drinks per passenger. Even though it was in MSC's computer system, we did not get the drink vouchers as we embarked. For one reason or another the reception staff couldn't take care of the issue right away and we had to make 3 trips to the reception desk. However, that was the only issue we had.
Ship:
It was immaculate. Very beautiful. ...
This was my second cruise with MSC (first one was in August 2014 on Fantasia).
We travelled with 2 kids (aged 4 and 2) and I missed having a specific pool were families with small children could stay (with deck chairs, bar, etc). The small covered kid's pool in most of the time in the shadow and the water is cold.
The opening times of the kids' club for children under 3 is really scarce. ...
We always book a nice veranda room but were lucky to be upgraded to the Yacht Club with a suite.....great room...concierge and staff couldn't have been more helpful...private butlers when ever needed. Fully stocked mini bar topped up every day for free, which along with the endless drinks package is always good......boat was on time to every port with long enough port stays to see the highlights ...
Please do not take this cruise. My family went on this cruise and while there were some positive experiences with the destinations we visited, breakfast buffet and turndown service there were to many things negative. The customer service on the ship was just ridiculous, elevators became unusable due to there limited capacity and the shops overcrowdedness, the pools on the ship were small and ...
It was a family trip.
Embarkation and disembarkation were fine and everything was very well organized.
Ship. Everything was in very good condition. At this point I have a small complaint that the temperature was too low inside, considering that we were wearing bathsuits and sometimes wet. I got a cold during the trip because of this.
Cabin. The cabin was fine, everything very new and ...
Embarkation and disembarkation went surprisingly smoothly.
Cabin was adequate but we couldn't enjoy balcony due to chain smokers on next balcony. Unfortunate because husband got quite ill with bronchitis and URI and were quarantined on day 6. MSC says smoking isn't tolerated on balconies but maids apparently missed clue of ash tray on balcony. Bed was comfortable.
Food was below average. ...
