Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Virtuosa

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
I chose this cruise for good value and newer and bigger ship. The ship is truly beautiful.
1. Dining room food was good, service was excellent, ambience was wonderful.
2. Buffet was chaotic. Food was displayed in 2 narrow aisles on each side of the ship. It was hard to find a seat.
3. Food was average, it lacked variety. Roasts of beef, lamb, chicken and pork were good. Soups were always ...

Examples
Dinner
Ordered dinner and the vegetables were raw when we queried the head waiter he blamed the server
The menu, well I hope your not paying the head chef a decent wage because he is not dishing ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Sinfonia

10+ Cruises • Age 50s
I spent six weeks travelling through South Africa and decided to return to Europe by cruise. In spring 2023 there were exactly five ships doing this. Costa, Aida, Phoenix and two MSC vessels. Costa visited on the world cruise and no cabin was available. Aida did a fast track through the Atlantic Ocean and mainly visited ports in Europe, in my opinion no attractive itinerary. Phoenix did extensive ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Bellissima

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
My husband and I chose this cruise as it covered the Med, Suez, Petra and Ports in the Middle East.
We arrived in Barcelona for check in which took 3 hours as there were so many people boarding and not enough staff to check us all in.
The cabin was nice, double bed, sofa bed and balcony.
The staff in the sit down restaurant were from Bali and all very nice people and very good at their ...

The cruise taken- Genoa to Dubai 16 nights.
I was aware from the start when booking this cruise that 9 days would be at sea.
Having taken over 80- cruises, that's fine by me. Unfortunately it's a shame MSC didn't provide us with much in the way of keeping us occupied! In my opinion the first of what you might call a decent show wasn't provided until the 6th night? Activities during the day ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Divina
JLenard
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
In 2015, I had traveled on the MSC Divina to the Caribbean. It was a good trip on a ship that needed some upgrades but not unacceptable. In 2019, I again traveled on the Divina – repositioning cruise Milan to Miami. I was so disappointed in the condition of the ship, the food, the entertainment, the coldness of the officers and the rudeness of European fellow passengers.
There were ...

This was the worst cruise we ever had. Embarcation in Genova took almost 5 hours. Disembarkation in Durban took more than 3 hours. Because of the bad airconditioning half the passengers were ill after the first week with serious influenca.
The food was very low mass production and below any cruiseship standard. Fresh fruit excisted of melon green, red or yellow with the ocasionsal appel. Food ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Musica

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
Price and itinerary was the drawcard, but the cruise was just awful. Cold food with no flavour. No entertainment except for dancing and pool games. No movies or tv except if you paid for them. Treated like cattle on embarking took 2 hrs. Bistro closed at 2oc. Didnt get on till then. Room was dirty when we finally got in. Service at night in dining room was terrible took nearly 2 hrs and food was ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on MSC Splendida

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
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 ...
