Msc nightmare

Review for a Africa Cruise on MSC Splendida

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

Horrible experience so far. Over crowded everywhere queues for days to do just about anything, including accessing lifts. People are frustrated and impatient and thus pushes in lines and literally fight for space in the pools. Dirty. Cheap food. To top it off our ship is stuck in the Harbour. What a terribly disappointing experience. Stuck for another 3 days hoping to 'cruise to nowhere' instead ...

I recently embarked on the 7 night Cape Verde cruise with Variety Cruises. The trip was incredible from start to finish. The itinerary meant we were able to visit much of Cape Verde, including Sal, Santiago, Fogo, San Vicente, Santa Antao, Mindelo and Boa Vista! Because we were able to visit so many islands, we saw so many different perspectives of this amazing country, including volcanos and ...

We took this cruise to see Portugal again and get to Uk. We chose an inside cabin to save some money . I booked thru princess because it was our first time on them and I wanted a good cabin. I said I wanted stateroom ubove and below. Our room was over the piazza. We had music blasting in our room until 12:15 am. We called nightly and no one did a thing. We were told there were no rooms to move ...

Booked through Iglu cruises who were good 3 days in Cape Town far outwayed our expectations- fantastic stay ….Then we got on the ship . Should have stayed in Cape Town. Boat is shabby . We had a restricted view cabin on deck 8 . When I say restricted- couldn’t see anything but life boat . Layout of cabin awful . You couldn’t get to one side of bed which had its head below windows . Very ...

Enjoyable cruise despite too many itinerary changes & less time in ports!

We booked this 12 day cruise to South Africa & Namibia when we found out our Israel/Egypt cruise with Celebrity wouldn't be going ahead due to the political situation there. When we booked we were going to spend only 3 days at sea with long port days in most of the ports of call including 2 full days in Namibia. Due to several itinerary changes including the last change being only a week ...

NCL - never again!

We chose this cruise because of the interesting itinerary from Mauritius, via Réunion, Madagascar, Mozambique , down the east coast of Africa to Cape Town. Even before we sailed, Mozambique was cut. We were involved in the cholera debacle, being due to board on the 25th Feb, but holed up in Mauritius until the 27th. These things happen, we all know that, but the way NCL handled it was appalling. ...

Our group of 7 family and friends were excited to begin the NCL cruise embarking in Mauritius that we had all been planning months. When we arrived in Mauritius, We received a letter via email saying that the cruise was unable to dock due to health concerns by the port. We were instructed to report at our pre-arranged boarding time to the port. at which time we would receive accommodation until ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

I went on this cruise with relatives who were celebrating a big anniversary and I was in a solo studio. This was my first time on the Epic and I had a great cruise but my experience was likely very different from others who sailed on this ship recently. Reasons for this may be because this cruise had fewer people on it than others recently and it seemed as though there was a lot of new staff. I ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I have just read the last review relating to the same cruise and I couldn't agree more. We understand that the ship has been in operation for 20 years but there were several occasions as though this was the first time that it had been in service. Disconnection of internal staff communication, poor management of embarkation/immigration procedure, apparent disinterest of some of the senior staff, ...

Never again!-Well this cruise was sold to us on the basis of visiting some exotic and fairly off the beaten track unusual places -we paid for a 12 day cruise with stops in Madagascar and Mozambique.In the end NCL provided a 10 day trip which didn’t stop in either of the two countries above and involved 4 days floating slowly across the Indian Ocean at a speed designed to save them fuel and ...
