Port Canaveral (Orlando) to the Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Ship is gorgeous and I never felt like it was full. Walking to our cabin the elevators gleamed and it was super clean. We had an upgraded Aurea room and it was tiny. I have seen airplanes with bigger bathrooms. If you had to do a 2 you could not sit straight in the toilet. You were at an angle. Bars looked good and made good drinks but wait times for drinks could be 30-45 minutes. Every bar was ...

My #1 criticism about this ship was the elevators...so really, that's a pretty good thing. That said, I don't recall a ship with consistently longer wait times than this one. I don't know what the reason for this is (programming maybe?), but it was enough that we'd usually end up bailing and take the stairs. Not a huge deal, but it would be if we had strollers/wheelchairs etc. The Windjammer ...

Last time we were on Royal Caribbean was before Covid. I always used to love Royal Caribbean until this cruise. Started off with problems with my seapass card. It would not work. Ended up missing the ice show. Had to stand in Guest services line twice to get a new cards issued. Ship is overrun with kids. Kids running up and down the hallways. Parents doing nothing. kids playing kickball in ...

As others have said, lines, lines, and more lines. Want a drink - long line (average 20 minutes). Want to eat - good luck getting in any of the sit down restaurants - 45 minute wait the one time we went, 40 minute wait the second time. The app was about useless - not rhyme or reason to what you are "allowed to book" and what you aren't. You have to show up at least 30-40 minute before a show to ...

Our housekeeper, wait staff Rakeesh and Rama, waitress from LA Cucinda I believe she is from Panama very professional and Stephen, and our cruise director Jack awesome ppl. The groups and shows were fantastic. We shall cruise again on this cruise ship and its line. I would love to have seen more shows to attend, however overall we were pleased with most of all departments being courteous and ...

I last sailed about 12 years ago on Carnival and loved it. I was shocked at how much Carnival has slipped. The cruise was totally boring - I will not sail with Carnival again. There were weird cost-cutting actions. There was no aspartame (equal) or flavored coffee creamers. The coffee cups were small and the coffee not very good. No juice except in the morning. Water, ice tea and lemonade ...

I highly recommend the escape for your next or very first cruise. I had my very first cruise on this ship and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Jack the cruise director and his staff were super engaged with passengers which made going to different events very enjoyable. I recommend booking the Mexican cuisine workshop and tasting at Playa Mia in Cozumel it was my favorite excursion that I ...

I been to so many cruises that I can not keep track anymore, from RCL, princess, carnival, Holland America, etc… This is my first time on MSC line. Before I go I went here and check reviews. Most people were so critical about the cruise line especially about the foods, etc.. I almost cancel this cruise and go back to the cruise lines that I am familiar with, but I very happy that I didn’t. ...

I stayed an interior cabin, it was spacious and clean. Housekeeping staff was very attentive. The worst trip I've ever had in my life. I very regret joining this tour. The ship is new but the facilities and planning are a disgrace. They want you to register for the shows on the ship. Even if you go to the hall before the show time, the hall is full. So what's the point of recording? ...

We chose this cruise to fill in a gap in our vacation schedule- being snowbirds from colder climates! The ship is beautiful, there are multiple seating areas, the standard cabin was spacious, although the bathroom space was tight. MSC does require you to bring your own distilled water for CPAP machine. Other cruise lines provide this. The variety show was entertaining but the stage productions ...
