Hamburg MSC Magnifica Cruise Reviews

The good * getting on the ship - fast and easy. The bad * service onboard was terrible - had to wave down staff to get their attention * the food was below average * most of the staff could not speak english - bar staff, restaurant staff, etc.Made it very difficult to communicate a drink or food order * the entertainment was bad * many, many hard sell tactics to get you to buy ...

We are two NCL Platinum members, tempted to try MSC by their status match program, in which we were enrolled as 'Black'. Until this trip, we have only ever cruised on Norwegian, so we were very much expecting a very different experience to what we're used to. We were expecting here to be some positive differences, and some negative ones. Booking and communication. Once we had our status ...

We chose this mini cruise for the Easter Weekend and were keen to visit Hamburg. The time spent in Hamburg was great and we were looking forward to a leisurely trip back to Southampton.

It was a shambles, I don't actually think shambles reflected the level of disorganisation experienced on the trip. We arrived at the terminal, ...

Stood in line for 2 hours to get back ...

First of all, let me start out by saying, i've cruised many times, mostly with celebrity, holland america, and royal carribean. ---- Service: 1. AC not working in the room? No one cares 2. Animation team does not speak english? no one cares 3. You got billed for something you did not order? try to find someone who understands english, oh and even if you did not sign for it, no one cares. 4. you ...
