We chose this world cruise excited to visit some of our bucket list destinations. While visiting Egypt became impossible due to conflict in the region we were still thrilled we would be going to Rhodes. But not to be. More than half the cruise has been made up of sea days with substandard destinations. Food has bern appalling with regular absence of fresh fruit, salad and now no coffee available ...
We are currently on this terrible cruise
Over 500 people on board have signed a petition protesting the way MSC are treating us.
1. So many sea days
Change of itinerary increasing itinerary to an extra 20 sea days, less port times, and no compensation for these changes or refunds of tax and port fees.
As compared to other cruise companies such as Cunard, princess, costa etc who have ...
MSC said the ship was refurbished in 2023 and they must be talking about the exterior of the ship. The public stairs lot dated with the teal and chocolate motif. The cabins are either navy or bordello red. The furniture in the cabin is worn, sun bleached and dated, think 90’s. Dining options are limited. There is the main dining room offering a selection of reoccurring average to say the best ...
- boring ship. Activities are minimal. And when they do happen they are sub par
- pools shut down at 8. Hot tubs not actually hot.
- staffing seems low. They have the employees but they hangout like they’re are friends chit chatting while not caring for guests.
- the emergency training meetings was a joke. When to the theatre to be told we had to go back to room to watch the video. Many ...
We chose this cruise line as we had previously been on a few P & O cruises and felt that they had become more about quantity than quality. Our local travel agent recommended MSC and whilst P & O were offering a similar cruise at 3 times less than the price we paid, we booked a Christmas experience. Well, it certainly was an experience unfortunately, not of the great type.
We embarked with ...
If you read the reviews this ship you would hesitate to book .
But I can honestly tell you that the negatives are either very unlucky or habitual moaners and whingers ( I suspect the latter )
We had a superb Christmas cruise around the Caribbean ….loved the itinerary where you sail from one island to the next through the night and have a full day off the ship exploring .
Seaside is a ...
This was our 6th cruise with MSC. 2,700 passengers boarded each week in Martinique. Over 1000 boarded in Guadalupe and the remainder in Barbados. About 75% of the passengers spoke French and the evening entertainment especially in the atrium was specifically for these guests. The food in the buffet was repetitive with a lot less choice than on previous MSC cruises. Outside the deck 8 buffet there ...
we were on this cruise on a back to back. It relocated to Guadalope. I can't think of one thing that was not 100%. From our room steward to the dining staff. Our cabin was always clean and the ship has wonderful food. The shows are Broadway Class. I (we) have been on 68 carnival cruises and we sail on the Seacape on May 22th for 2 weeks. This will make our 6th MSC cruise and we will never go back ...
This cruise went to four lovely islands in the Caribbean. Loved MSC’s private island and all the work they did to give everyone a wonderful experience. What a beautiful, large ship! The food in the Marketplace and other restaurants was delicious. These restaurants served food elegantly and the wait staff were all so courteous and helpful. The entertainment all over the ship was very entertaining ...
Ship was nice. Good layout. Food was good. Bar service was good except for 15th back outside deck. Entertainment was so so. Wifi was TERRIBLE. TV reception was awful. We had a few issues that went unresolved. First we were woken up by maint. workers banging on a pipe before 8a several mornings. I called to complain and guest services said it wasn’t happening. I said come to my room and hear for ...
