Relocation cruise Med to Northern Europe
"I phoned MSC South Africa to get the rules for the testing ahead of our trip and was told a less than 72 hours PCR test, which we subsequently did.Both my sister and I really enjoyed our time on Grandiosa (felt like royalty) and will book again with MSC locally but I think the large (NEWER) ship has spoiled us for the older ships which we see locally in SA...."Read More

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Grandiosa

This was our third cruise with MSC. We'd recently completed a 3 night cruise on Virtuosa, so when boarding The Grandiosa we already knew the ship's layout which saved time.
The ship itself is absolutely stunning. Although it's nearly identical to Virtuosa the colours are different, and in my opinion I thought overall it looked grander.

Having been a frequent MSC cruiser in South Africa we chose this relocation cruise as the best bang for our bucks. Originally booked in 2019 we were yet another casualty of Covid with our cruise being cancelled repeatedly from 2020/21 and into 2022. At last we were allowed to cruise but under Covid restrictions and with PCR testing together with our vaccination certifications being required. I ...

The cruise was absolutely excellent in every way. The ship is beautiful and the staff is wonderful.
However the testing requirement pre-boarding was a total mess.
First of all MSC hadn’t made it clear that it was necessary to bring a negative Covid test (not older than 48 hours) to the check-in desk. So on arrival to the port we were sent to a nearby pharmacy to get our test certificate. ...

It was overall a very nice experience in the MSC Grandiosa, even with the very strict Covid restrictions on board.
* Food quality is very good, specially the Italian dishes
* Beverage service is slow and sometimes even rude some of the bars.
* Guest communication regarding restrictions and rules, specially in the Jacuzzis should be improved. It's annoying having to reserve a place to ...

I don't understand why people are so afraid of cruises. Cruise ships are probably the safest places in the world. I wish all services ashore were so professional in terms of Covid prevention. Before boarding the ship, we had to do two tests, a PCR test in our country and a swab test at the terminal. Body temperature was measured before entering the terminal and on board the ship every day ...

MSC are one of the first cruise lines to start operating their ships again following the situation with Covid-19. Whilst they appear to be getting it right and the experience was excellent they could be leading to a total disaster.

There are many staffs working with attitude. Very lack of passion. They seems like they are doing a job that they hate. Very horrible customer service especially in buffet area. Staffs are not even smiling and serve you without saying a word or response. There are many staffs covering buffet area. Bar service staffs focus on selling drinks than doing other jobs. For e.g. they can't even get you ...

The MSC Grandiosa is a very mixed experience, and whether it makes sense for you depends a lot on what you value and what gets under your skin.
I will first describe the things on MSC Grandiosa that are first-rate. Then I will describe what I think is poorly done, and will represent deal-breakers for many. After that I will describe the ship's overall philosophy, and the type of person for ...

This was our first cruise and we chosed Grandiosa because we wanted to have first cruise experience on a brend new ship.
Before I went reading other reviews and saw rather bed ones giving us thoughts OMG where are we going, why not some other ship, other company but one thing I've learned that mostly people which are always complaining for something are writing reviews, and that's why I wanted ...
