MSC Poesia Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to the Eastern Caribbean

For our eighth cruise, my husband and I decided to try MSC for the first time because of the itinerary, which included two islands we had not visited before (Guadeloupe and Dominican Republic). We have sailed with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity in the past. On this cruise we were traveling with a toddler and my husband’s elderly parents. Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive considering all the ...

If I'd been told that the crew were working to rule after a nasty trade dispute I'd understand. Otherwise why be so rude, inefficient and unco-operative? Food always cold, nasty smell on upper decks and receptionists from the Soviet school of hospitality. Like many passengers caught a nasty cold for second half of the trip. We booked two trips. One was perfuntuary but on if youbdid your ...

Plus: - very convenient fly&cruise package: MSC took care of our suitcase which was delivered straight to our cabin without the need to pick it up from the belt at the airport and carry it on the bus. This is the main reason we keep cruising MSC. - great itinerary with long port days abd extensive excursion programme - large pools Minus: - poor service, deteriorating as years go by. ...

My wife and I recently returned from our 7-day cruise on the MSC Poesia (sailed 4/6/13). It was our second journey on MSC, (the first one being on its sister ship, the Orchestra), and truly one of the best cruising experiences we've had in recent years. Our trip started on a sour note, unfortunately. We had booked the cruise through MSC's own travel agents. Although we were not able to use our ...

Ship was beautiful and sparkling clean, looks brand new Decor is lovely, and even the hallways are light and attractive. This was my 3rd time on Poesia and she is as beautiful as ever and now some new additions and new things make her better than ever, especially for Americans embarkation was the easiest ever, walk right on, we were there very early and away we go Bought the prepaid wine ...

This was my sixth cruise, but first on MSC, and it was Mark's first ever cruise. We flew from Baltimore to Fort Lauderdale the day of the cruise, and arrived about 2:30. We took a cab to Port Everglades and were there in about 10 minutes. Embarkation: Embarkation was very quick. There was no line by then, and after a quick picture, we were on the ship. We dropped our carry-ons in our ...

I am a seasoned cruiser and have cruised most of the mass market lines. I was attracted to MSC because of the value rates offered for single travelers. Yes, I did this one solo! Being alone I would be able to see all the negativity that you all are talking about, without worrying about someone else. Two weeks before the cruise I found a singles group of 33 members sailing together and I ...

Ship: Ship was immaculate, well done, well pointed, luxurious, clean and was cleaned everyday; amenities were top notch, decor high level Food: Exceptional. The buffet was half Italian and half American. The Italian was exceptional, Pizza was fantastic. The american buffet was very good but the Italian was over the top. They also had a childrens buffet which was perfect for my younger kids. The ...

We were so surprised that our embarkation went so smoothly. We had booked the Poesia cruise first and then we discovered a wonderful deal to cruise on the Caribbean Princess that left the week prior to the Poesia. Our big concern was how would we get to the Poesia from the Caribbean Princess. We had tried to find out which piers the 2 ships were docked at but no one was able to tell us. We ...

After reading all the negative reviews and comments, I was a bit apprehensive about what my booked cruise would be like. Wonderful Cruise!!!! Staff was friendly and tried to help me with whatever issues or questions I had. The cabin crew was great and responded to any questions or requests I had, like extra pillows etc. The dining room staff was professional and extremely friendly and ...
