Probably our best cruise ever (28 cruises on 7 different cruise lines).
We managed to get an amazing deal on Yacht club for this repositioning cruise and now would always choose YC (if available)......
It's a slightly older ship and some deck areas are showing their age e.g. deck chairs , pool areas , decking etc.. , but otherwise we'll maintained esp the interior which you couldn't tell was ...
I booked this cruise 3 days before the virus hysteria started. I chose it because it was very cheap (about 40 euro person/day) with an Ok itinerary.
It turned out to be probably the best and definitely the most luxurious cruise in my life.
First of all, because of the virus MSC completely remade the first half of the cruise, making the itinerary much better than I initially booked. Instead ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary which included all the countries and ports I would like to visit. The night stop in the major ports enabled you to visit everything you needed in the time available.
Better than expected
For a ship with nearly 4000 passengers, there were few times int he 4 weeks when the public rooms were crowded, and with a slight adjustment in your plans you could ...
We last cruised with MSC in the Med 3 years ago and to be honest I was less than impressed so I was a bit apprehensive about booking this itinerary from Dubai for my wife’s birthday. What a difference - the quality of food in both the main dining room and speciality restaurants were right up there with the very best we’ve had on other cruise lines. I can particularly recommend Butcher’s Cut steak ...
So this is only the 2nd time sailing with MSC (First time was on the Magnifica) and we've sailed previously with NCL, RCI, HAL, Princess, Celebrity, Costa and P&O.
Overall it was a fantastic cruise! The ports visited were all really interesting (See reviews later on..), the food was great and the ship fantastic.
Pro's:
- Cabin was one of the best we've had. It was an aft facing on deck ...
We went on this cruise as a family of six and had a throughly good time, embarkation went very smoothly in Dubai and once on the ship we were very impressed with the condition and cleanliness of the ship.
We had three rooms all with balconies which were a good size and kept very clean, the dining experience in the main dining room was excellent with great food and drink expertly served by Erry ...
H the same aving already taken an 8 night Cruise with the same Company but visiting Abu Dhabi and Oman, this time we wanted to see Bahrain & Quatar.
We embarked at Abu Dhabi which we had already visited on our previous Crusie.
Embarkation was quick & smooth. Our cabin was ready as soon as we went aboard.
There has been a few changes to the ship which we had already sailed with on a ...
We booked this cruise several months ago at a Cruise Event in a local hotel. The MSC rep managed to get us a fantastic deal on a Yacht Club Cabin so we booked it there and then.
We have cruised several times on other lines, but the Yacht Club was amazing. We had a seperate check-in area. When we had completed the paperwork our butler Nadia personally escorted us to the ship which had a ...
Really well done to the cabin stewards for a fantastic job they work tirelessly hard day and night nothing was to much trouble for them need to have a shower screen rather than a shower curtain need more t v channels for British guests althogh its been a bit picky the furniture needs to be a bit lighter a little to dark but very comfortable bed ... good sound proffing houe keeping team kept ...
