The Seashore is a beautiful ship but MSC is not a line for luxury or service even in the Yacht Club. Sailing on MSC would be intolerable without the YC though. The rest of the ship was crowded, over run by teenagers and young kids.
But Beware: babies and young children are allowed in the YC. It is not relaxing with crying infants and ill behaved children running around. Seashore staff are ...
We were a group of 15 and chose this cruise as it seemed to offer good value, sailing from Valencia at the right time of year. It would probably not have been my first choice because of its size: just under 6,000 passengers. Unfortunately my fears were proved justified.
The Seashore is an impressive ship, but the organisation on board was terrible. They are severely understaffed, particularly ...
First and last cruise with MSC.
Lovely ship, fantastic facilities, however ........
To start off with - our cabin was changed from the one we had booked, without any notification or explanation. Cabin was same category but not our preferrede deck.
We were not aware that MSC pick up/drop off at every port of call. Seemed like a ferry.
Not international passenger base on this ...
It is possible to receive superior food on a cruise ship but truly the choice, qualiy and presentation were very good indeed. With a few allergy problems betwen us we were concerned but on our first time into the dining room the waiter immediatlt calle 'The Head Waiter' and from then on either special meals or the same food without the harmful ingredietnts were provided. This was outstandingly ...
We chose the cruise as it was embarking at Valencia which is a two hour drive from home. As we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary we upgraded to the Yacht Club suite. This was a unique experience for us. It is the only cruise we have been on and enjoyed a la carte restaurant for the duration. The food and service was very good. I started to make a list of people who made it special for ...
The whole experience felt like filling the pockets of MSC at the expense of others and quality.
- Staff overexploited working long hours and with little rest. You are served by the same individuals day and night continuously, and it feels like you're treating them like slaves the whole time.
- Food was terrible in taste and quality, and the buffet was so wasteful
- Every single drink ...
We chose this cruise because we like the itinerary, the dates were perfect and the price was good.
In the past we have cruised with P&O, Cunard, Royal Caribbean & Princess and have always had a good experience -They all seem to offer something different and we are looking for an enjoyable holiday and good value for money.
The ship is well maintained and very clean, the public areas are well ...
This is our first MSC cruise. I so wanted tonlove it but I just cannot. The ship its self is really lovely andthe cabin with balcony is spacious and comfortable.
The food is adequate. Nothing special but not bad either. It does not compare to the likes of NCL or RCCL.
The cabin steward is friendly andcthecwaiters we had in the main diningvroom were nice. However re the bar staff I ...
I made the mistake of checking the reviews a few days before we departed. They were not good, and as this was our 1st cruise i did wonder what we had let ourselves in for. I want to write this review to put a different view on all the negative comments.
Plus points
1. Extremely efficient embarking and disembarcation process. Very smooth. Be aware that you may have to wait a few hours before ...
We were looking forward to our first cruise but disappointed by our experience. When we embarked no one was interested in telling us the process. There appeared to a drive to sell the drinks package and when we said we didn't want one they were not interested in helping us. Customer service was inconsistent throughout. Some staff were very good but mostly staff presented as 'can't be ...
