We went a weekend and we really had a good time because in the end it's a vacation but inside the cruise very bad service the food was fatal too many people to such an extent that there were endless queues I would never repeat. You had high expectations and I left very disappointed it's really my experience I made the mistake of not checking the comments first and for me the worst thing was that ...

Tired ship, dirty room and poor food…and mirrors EVERYWHERE

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Was recently on board for a convention as a first time cruiser. I was frankly hesitant as I’m not a big fan of crowds or lines or being trapped on a boat. So, I had a pretty low set of expectations..and unfortunately, my fears were realized. Nothing on this trip made me want to go back on a cruise with MSC or any other cruise line. Entry/Exit was simple, and that was one of the best ...

I was on the cruise based on Winter’s fantastic retreat. The cruise ship, though remodeled, had pockets to reflect, but overall, it was an old, standard, confusing layout ship. The food was awful, with not much variety. I agree with previous posts; the best item was Pizza, better than most cruise lines. I can deal with mediocre food on cruises, but the service was mediocre at best. I would give ...

The ship is pretty. However there’s nothing to do on the ship. They have over priced dollar store crap in their stores and minimal shows you can attended. Most other cruise lines have fun activities planned all day long. MSC doesn’t they have one major show that’s performed 2 times a night. Their staff is actually pretty rude too. The food is weird. On their island they served some odd items ...

First observation when we arrived at the pool deck, no music, only a very disappointing 15-20 minute animated game throughout the cruise. we had to use our own speaker…. The pool was too deep, and the jacuzzi was overload. Chair was very dangerous and broken. The quality of the food has dropped significantly compared to Seascape. Almost no seafood etc and very basic menu. unfortunately only one ...

Disappointing Cruise Experience: Broken Baggage, Missing Amenities, and Unresolved Issues

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

While transferring my very large baggage (40kg capacity) from the port to my room, one wheel broke completely, making it impossible to move. They only offered $50 for the repair of the baggage and, when asked if there was a place to repair it onboard, they said no. After this cruise, I had to visit five other cities, with a flight immediately after disembarking from the ship, which we barely ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

This was our first cruise and had our hopes high with all my friends and family talking about their experiences in other cruises like Carnival or Royal Caribbean. Our first day started with unsatisfactory food options. The group we were traveling with had people who are vegetarian and few who do not eat pork or beef. The only option we had we had was roast chicken throughout the trip. Our seated ...

This was my 4th time on an MSC ship and this was so far the worst experience that we had. Not sure why the itinerary didn't include Nassau we only went to their private Island. Here are the pros: The ship and room were clean and the entertainment crew from the shows did a great job. Here are the cons: The room was very small. The ship was beyond crowded. Only one specialty restaurant that ...

Well let me just say , I will never again cruise MSC . Had I known it was an Italian based ship I would have never, first of all if your an American you are already going to be treated some time of way ! The food was horrible no selection and this ship has no alternative restaurant but a sushi one which was never open ! The ice machines were broke the whole trip it was hot and sticky and very ...

We cruised MSC, actually on Magnifica, 3 years ago, and were not impressed. THe itinerary for this ship was interesting and fit our tight schedule, so I reluctantly tried it again. I won't be fooled a third time. MSC is a budget line. That's fine. But the food was inedible. While our servers were very good, the food routinely came out cold. Sometimes it was cold food on a hot plate (how is ...
