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 ...
We chose this cruise just to have a well earned break, our friends persuaded us to go Yacht Club, so so happy we took their advise!!!
We were treated like King and Queen right from the Port area to the time we disembarked!!
Food in our restaurant was sublime and the service we got was second to none!
Missing queues when going and coming back from excursions, was a big plus for me, our ...
After a few cruises on newer and larger Msc ships, I was disappointed that the quality of the Yacht Club declines, and that this great product moves more and more towards mass market. Therefore I was looking forward to the cruise on the “old reliable” Msc Splendida. From the very first day I was very positively surprised.
EMBARKATION
We embarked in Trieste, which is a new homeport for Msc. ...

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. ...
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 ...
Far from the maddening crowds we selected Yacht Club for this cruise and wasn't disappointed. We were spoilt rotten by the attention and the care we received from the crew and members of the staff. We found the experience gratifying in every sense having sailed on this beautiful ship a couple of times before and have enjoyed every cruise we have been on. If there was a criticism they should vary ...
I have just recently returned from a cruise on board the MSC Splendida. I travelled with my partner and our 2 boys aged 10 and 7.
We did the Mediterranean cruise from Genoa for 7 nights 27th May – 3rd June.
We have cruised with MSC once before, last year on the MSC Preziosa so knew exactly what to expect. The Splendida is practically exactly the same except for some different themed bars ...
We decided to book a cruise because our friends recommended and they also told us about the yacht club.
The service in yacht club was excellent and even our diets (gluten free and lactose free) were professionally taken care.
We experienced interesting excursions. Specially we would like to mentioned the excursion to Portofino when we were in the port of Genoa.
The ship looks massive ...
