SHIP is slightly outdated. The Italian dark red and dark green color scheme looks a little tiring to me, but it might be just personal taste. I like more RCL navy blue scheme. Pool was extremely small, full of kids with no manner jumping around. I wish they could make a adult only pool out of the 2 pools on board. NO indoor pool.
CABIN- Bathroom has yellow shower curtain etc... You don't feel ...
Chose this cruise, with 2 friends, to fit in with school break; but children were not a problem.
Ship, cabin, theatre were very good and the general organisation was more than competent. Main gripe was lack of staff training, other than their constantly pushing drinks and drinks packages. We did not expect Silver Service, but did expect the waiting staff to understand the basics of delivering ...
First time cruisers, unsure how it was going to be. The buffet restaurant had a massive choice of food, albeit on plastic tray-like plates. ( I get it, you heard quite a few crashes and broken crockery would have made an awful mess. That said, the restaurants downstairs had crockery.....) The waiters were very helpful and polite. The only issue was finding a seat, even sharing a table with some ...
This was a working holiday looking after a selection of bingo customers
this was my first cruise and I was not sure what to expect, I enjoyed most aspects of the cruise, the room had a balcony but I rarely had time to enjoy it, it took a few days to get to grips with where the different bars and dining areas were, the buffet service had a great selection of food but at certain times it was more ...
Special celebration for my 65th birthday. This was not acknowledged on board.
Other cruises have shared a special celebration with us.
The internet is not recommended. Just wait until you dock somewhere. It is a waste of money even for the most expensive option.
We will not order again.
The room cleaning service was excellent.
The restaurant service was excellent. Both of our ...
We thought this was a very good cruise, but must admit it is my first cruise so I can’t make comparisons. We were apprehensive because of all the bad reviews, but this was not our experience.
Boarding & disembarking - yes there were queues but plenty of staff and all went smoothly, no different to airports and I don’t mind all the security. Since they were boarding over 2000 passengers you ...
Cruised on MSC Orchestra. The ship was lovely, clean and tidy. Not too big and not too small.
We had cabin 11080 which was a balcony and it was a slight bigger balcony than the normal ones as it was on the corner. 2 adults and 1 teenager and we were very comfortable and not cramped in.
The room was clean and tidy and was looked after am & pm. The staff was really great and always spoke to ...
this was the first cruise we took , that too after so many apprehensions that we may end up managing the motion sickness issue of mine and my daughter , but to our surprise both had no issue of nausea etc . at all .
we stayed for one day prior to embarkation in venice just to explore this beautiful city
we heard that embarkation takes hours but it was not crowded at all
i have concluded ...
We cruised with MSC last year and loved it so booked again. This route was amazing - Venice - Bari - Olympia - Santorini - Athens - Corfu - Kotor. We are still pinching ourselves in disbelief that we saw so much in 7 days! We were on a fly cruise from the UK and there were 5 passengers - 2 adults - 2 children (15 & 12) and 1 senior. We had 2 cabins with a central inter-connecting door. This ...
Our 7-day cruise sailed from Venice-Bari-Katakolon-Santorini-Piraeus-Corfu-Kotor. This was my second time on a cruise, been on the Carnival Sensation 3yrs ago. The journey was so smooth within the 7 days, I usually am sensitive and suffers with motion sickness, but thankfully I didnt have any of those in the MSC. Large enough ship, not too big, just the right size.
Food:
Overall, food was ...
