We booked this cruise because it was going to stop a few places we hadn't been before on our way to europe. we booked a superior balcony cabin so my husband could sit and watch the ocean.
Right off the bat, we were unhappy beause the balcony had a bunker-like appearance with the metal coming up to where a railing should be. in other words, you had to stand up to see out. after 2 hours in ...
Overall the ship is in good shape, large but easy to get around once you get the hang of it Having said that, the configuration with many dead-ends and too many reflective surfaces was bewildering. I found the ship lacking in ongoing maintenance, and understaffed. Most of the crew I came across were pleasant and eager to help. However, you can tell apart those that weren’t happy or interested in ...
The MSC Divina is an older ship, but very well maintained and beautiful.
We decided to splurge on the Yacht Club on the MSC Divina. We are so glad we did. From the check in to debarkation we were treated like VIP's, but not in an uncomfortable way. Every crew member in the Yacht Club greeted us warmly each and every time we saw them and were always offering ways to make our cruise an enjoyable ...
Wow! We spent a fortune sailing in the Yacht Club. Expected it to be like Norwegian Haven or Celebrity Retreat. The service was excellent in the YC but the entertainment and staff outside of Yacht Club is horrible. I honestly think they dislike Americans (but love our $$). Worst entertainment of any cruise line I have traveled and we have been on over 40 cruises. Boring Sea days-no ...
Chose this cruise because if the ports of call. We were promised a unobstructed balcony view, we did not get that, they did not change our room, even though the ship was not full. The staff continually lie to you, they are rude and arrogant. The food was mediocre, at best. The fact that all of the meat we ate throughout our cruise was tough and dry. Nothing was prepared fresh, even the eggs were ...
This is our second MSC cruise, We did the maiden voyage of Seascape last fall.
I note some off the quite strenuous criticisms of MSC...and cannot complete deny them...but
Perhaps it will help to explain what type of cruisers we are...
-We go often, don't drink except wine for dinner and an occasional; beer.
-Don't spend extra on specialty restaurants...on Norwegian, because of our ...
We chose this trip because of the islands it visited...... However
This was an 12 day cruise on MSC Seaside. The ship is beautiful and well appointed.
Unfortunately the service does not match the well polished image if the boat! I have never been on a cruise where the serving staff actively avoid the areas of the ship furthest away from the bar areas. It's not that there aren't enough of ...
We are Platnum Carnival Cruise cruisers and decided to try MSC. We loved the ship, room Stuart was great and the bartenders we encountered were we also great. I like the buffet lay out easy to get to items I wanted. The shows were pretty good but we could not take any drinks in, that was a bummer#1. Now lets get to the pool area, well nice but cannot stand up in the pools, none of them, 6ft deep, ...
Maybe, just maybe... if this is your first cruise ever you may find it interesting because you have nothing else to compare it to. After 35 cruises we knew this was a gamble but we booked last minute as every other ship was sold out for the 4th of July. MSC in the US is really geared to first time cruisers, very young families with apparently undisciplined, screaming kids and those that don't know ...
Worst cruise ever and Ihave done over 16, first and last time using MSC
God help anyone on their cruise if theres an emergency as none of the crew seem capable of knowing anything in general let alone an emergency and that goes for the higher up staff as well.
Lower staff over worked and do long hours higher staff just dont care about anyone
From bad food, not enough entertainment, slow ...
