This cruise was the worst of all our cruises ever. The staff was unfriendly and treated us as if we were a great inconvienence. When we embarked the ship we were not welcomed aboard and I was integrated about my boarding pass as to why I didn't have a stamp by French Police on it. Which I later found out I didn't need that and police don't give stamps... they simply then took my photo and told me ...

Choose this cruise as we have sailed with lots of other cruise liners. Thought we would try MSc. Bad mistake.! Beautiful ship. Poor cold food. Cheese on most foods. Two of our guests are cheese intolerance. Staff were not interested when you asked them for anything. They just said over there, And pointed .if you asked them for anything they went away, and didn't return. We were not the only ...

We are an older couple with one in a wheelchair and have traveled on more than 10 different cruise ships. We booked an accessible ocean view cabin( wheelchair accessible) room number 8001, only to find that access to the window was blocked by a fixed dressing table,so no ocean view, also nor wardrobe rails that were reachable by my wife. There were some facilities for disabled in bathroom but ...

Well usually I am not very fussy. I have sailed with celebrity and RC previously and had a great time. This is my first time on MSC. Well where can I start.The dinning experience was horrendous and I have stopped using the main dinning hall and opted for the the buffett choice restaurant instead. The food is not edible and tasteless despite the head chef been english supposedly., the service was ...

we chose this cruise because it went from southampton to which we could drive and we qualified for free parking, also there was only stop on the itinerary that we has visited before. the ship also looked very good. the ship was very comfortable plenty of seating areas and in general the staff were very helpful. that is the best i can say. the cabin steward was not one of the best. the food ...

We chose this cruise because it had ports we had not previously visited. When we booked it we asked the agency to clearly notify MSC that I would need wheelchair assistance at Southampton as I have mobility issues. There was none forthcoming, in fact we would not have been able to reach the terminal if it had not been for the ABP parking manager very kindly driving us and our hand luggage to the ...

MSC Magnifica. Our party of five travelled on the 25th June from Southampton. Our experiences over the two weeks has left us reeling from the catalogue of diabolical service and procedures we endured whilst hoping to have a fun family holiday. The food was atrocious. Meals came served Luke warm with little taste and often meat was chewy or over cooked. The choice on menus were very limited ...

I’m an amputee and there was no help getting on or off the expensive shuttle buses none of them had a lift for the wheelchair so I had to climb the stairs of the buses really disturbing , also being lifted in the air by the staff to get on and off the ship because some had stairs this really upset me , ...
