MSC Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

We are long-time cruisers and decided to take a cruise from Montevideo, Uruguay, South America to Athens. A 24 day one, longer than our usual but the price was very, very low and visited 4 countries we had never been to. The itinerary was great, and stops were largely fascinating and enjoyable. Not so our cruise ship the MSC Musica. We boarded in Montevideo and had to stand in line (yes ...

We have travelled on repositioning cruises before 32 in total many on MSC but this is our first one on MSC Seascape. The ship itself is beautiful good State Rooms , crew looking after State Rooms efficient and helpful. However the food is well below the standard we would normally expect. My husband said so much of the food served reminded him of the food available in the British Army when he did ...

Myself and my husband have been cruising for 20 years this has been the worst one yet!! We seen the deal on an email and thought we would give it a go being a new ship, how wrong were we. As soon as you get on the ship the staff try and sell you the drink package and specialty restaurants- these are all very costly so do your research, the drinks are quite expensive if you purchase from the ...

We are from the US, worked very hard through the whole year and at the end of the year had an opportunity for the vacation. We booked MSC Seascape cruise since it was a brand new ship with the stop in Bermuda and then in New-York. We had a very pleasant experience in 2011 with MSC Fantasia; thus, hoped the new ship and traveling through Atlantic would even more amaze us. Unfortunately, the new ...

We chose this transatlantic cruise to avoid a long flight back to New York City. We had just disembarked the Costa Favolosa cruise (12 days) on 11/20/22. The night prior to the MSC sailing we stayed at the Hotel Granvia which is a repurposed mansion converted to a hotel. The hotel was beautiful, clean, reasonably priced and centrally located. We boarded the ship in Barcelona at 12:15 pm on ...

I’ve sailed on MSC before and enjoyed my cruise, so I thought I would travel again, especially on a transatlantic cruise and the rate was inexpensive on a per day basis. Embarkation: It was seamless, with no long lines or waiting to board. No worries if you didn’t bring luggage tags, as they had them. Early Disembarkation: Other than the pastries and drinks, it was a little disorganized ...

The MSC SEASCAPE is a brand new ship and this was her first Atlantic crossing. I wanted to see what a 900 million dollar ship was like. I found out soon after boarding. This was my first MSC cruise and it will be my last. MSC has sacrificed quality for quantity . Way too many people creating noise and confusion just about everywhere on the ship - especially the restaurants where you end up ...

Unfortunately when we booked this cruise we were unaware that the passenger profile were primarily very conservative Brazilians, and as a gay couple felt very uncomfortable. Also all the entertainment was more focused on Brazil - which is ok if it was good, but it wasn't The cruise with all the extras cost us 1OK and we wish we had just flown to Rio direct The food on the cruise was also ...

I'm a very experienced cruiser, with more than 40 cruises, sailed with all big companies, etc, and cruised before with MSC. I only bought this Atlantic crossing (Barcelona/Rio de janriro) because i thought was really a good price, US 3000 + 500 US onboard credit for a Suite with Aurea experience. Check-in were smooth , although in my reservation and MSC app the embarkation time was ...

I thought it might be informative for new MSC customers to hear about this vessel and compare it to brands American's are more accustomed to. We booked this cruise as the finale of a month-long Italian trip to bring us home to our apartment (not far from the cruise terminal). We have crossed the Atlantic in this manner 3 or 4 times with Norwegian from the same port, Civitavecchia We like ...
