MSC Magnifica Cruise Reviews for Family to the Transatlantic

Booked this cruise just a few days before the sailing as a spontaneous way of returning to the states rather than flying. We’d sailed with MSC many times but not since 2016. I don’t know where you could find such horrible poor quality food. I spotted the executive chef onboard and asked why he allows such embarrassingly bad food and his response was a little shocking.

This was our first cruise with MSC. We are experienced cruisers, having sailed before with many other lines (European and North American cruiselines).
