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 ...
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. ...

For years I've been a loyal Sandals customer but decided to try a cruise for the first time due to a special rate offered in the Yacht Club. It is everything and more than the advertising says. We got off to a rough start; due to a 4-hour flight delay, we missed the ship in Civitavecchia. We stayed overnight and caught the train to Genoa the next day; as soon we arrived in the Yacht Club ...
The negatives -
MSC does not care about you in any way once you get on the boat. All they want is to turn you upside down and shake as much cash as they can out of you. They are only short of wearing masks and holding you at gun point to extract cash.
Everything is plus 15% on top of the overpriced items.
Tours are the biggest rip off, you can do all the tours locally for a fraction ...
This was our first cruise and before we departed we went from high expectations to it cant be that good for the price we paid ( £349 ). Well overaall the cruise surpassed our highest expectations and like people have said before, cruising is addictive and yes we are hooked, looking to go again in October and December.
So let me tell you about our trip and not all was great but most of it ...

My wife and I have cruised with MCS in the past 2 years aho on MSC Musica so we both kind of expected what was coming, but had some hope that MSC would have improved their stand on many issues within the 2 years we'd last cruised with them, sadly this was not the case.
We had a balcony room, nice enough room, but the ...
my husband and i cruised dec, 2010 to egypt, greece, malta, and italy on the msc splendida. great ship and great staff. everyone was very helpful and friendly. the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for. we had an interior cabin that was spacious and very clean. the bed was very comfortable and the bed linens were fantastic. very high thread count. the towels were oversized and ...
From start to finish all I can say is wow! We approached this trip with a small bit of fear given some of the reviews we had read on here our expectations were not high. From the time we landed at the Barcelona port to the time we got off again this was the best holiday I have ever experienced. The check in took less the 10 minutes with a very efficient process.
Our room was very comfortable ...
