This was my second cruise. The first one I took in 2023 afeb from CPT to Namibia. I had the best time of my life on MSC Sifonia. It was my very first time and I thought I will bring my two daughters with. Which I did for the MSC Splendida to Mozambique. The entire experience is amazing. You can be anywhere in the world while you are inside the cruise. Dress to kill, go for shopping, clubbing, ...
We booked a cabin for myself, my wife and our two teens - it was our first boat cruise. We were spoiled and handled extremely professsionally by all members of staff from the cleaning staff to the waiters and butlers. The embarcation process went smooth and our bags were delivered to our rooms quickly. The crew assisted with all our questions and helped out to make us feel at home. Food was always ...
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 to Treviso Cruise Terminal with economy private transfer directly from Piazzale Roma in Venice where we spent one week with our friends. After arriving in Terminal we had a bad experience with very long burocracy and had to wait about 4 hours before enter in the cabins. This MSC ship is one of the best and have incredible internal design. Our trip in Mediteranian was full of advantures, the ...
I booked this cruise 3 days before the virus hysteria started. I chose it because it was very cheap (about 40 euro person/day) with an Ok itinerary.
It turned out to be probably the best and definitely the most luxurious cruise in my life.
First of all, because of the virus MSC completely remade the first half of the cruise, making the itinerary much better than I initially booked. Instead ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary which included all the countries and ports I would like to visit. The night stop in the major ports enabled you to visit everything you needed in the time available.
Better than expected
For a ship with nearly 4000 passengers, there were few times int he 4 weeks when the public rooms were crowded, and with a slight adjustment in your plans you could ...
We last cruised with MSC in the Med 3 years ago and to be honest I was less than impressed so I was a bit apprehensive about booking this itinerary from Dubai for my wife’s birthday. What a difference - the quality of food in both the main dining room and speciality restaurants were right up there with the very best we’ve had on other cruise lines. I can particularly recommend Butcher’s Cut steak ...
So this is only the 2nd time sailing with MSC (First time was on the Magnifica) and we've sailed previously with NCL, RCI, HAL, Princess, Celebrity, Costa and P&O.
Overall it was a fantastic cruise! The ports visited were all really interesting (See reviews later on..), the food was great and the ship fantastic.
Pro's:
- Cabin was one of the best we've had. It was an aft facing on deck ...
