I read a lot of horror about msc and the magnifica and is it luxury, not at all; does it have flaws, of course, was it enjoyable, very. Have an open mind because not everything can and should be perfect
1. Embarkation- very easy, we embarked an hour before scheduled time and it was totally fine. Once on board you go straight to your room (if it is ready) and you get your key card and we were ...
I have sailed with MSC in 4 different ships in the past, Splendida, Poesia, Euribia (the best so far) and lastly World Europa which was a huge shock!
I don't even know where to begin on how awful the whole experience on this ship was. The staff was so unfriendly and always angry with everyone (guests and their own colleagues) there are a few exceptions of course but these were hard to find ...
We took a quick 3 day get-away weekend Cruise for fun and to try out MSC.
We read bad things about the food, it was good actually. The ship layout is not what you would see on Americain cruise lines. No quick serve areas like on Carnival with Shaqs or Royal with Sorrentos. It's all in the buffet. But they keep the buffet open late nights until 2am for things like pizza, nachos, pasta, ...
This cruise was set up by a friend due to the price. Well I guess you get what you pay for.
- The food was awful. I have been to school cafeterias with food equal or better to the food on this ship. It was also the same everyday.
- Several nights we would not eat at the restaurant we were assigned to because the food was not good
- Our dinner time was 830 pm. We asked to change and they ...
We recently finished our 4 day MSC Seashore cruise. We booked the Yacht Club, as we have cruised in NCL Haven several times. The embarkation was pretty seamless, they check you in at your seat and deliver champagne. We were priority being escorted on the ship, and the service continued. We watched a lot of reviews around MSC, and decided to form our own opinion.
Pros:
The service in the YC ...
This was my husband and my 7th cruise together and my 10th. We’ve cruised Carnival, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean and this was our first MSC Cruise. I had low expectations going in due to recent reviews, but we wanted a “do over” cruise as our one 5 months ago was terrible. However, MSC Seashore was wonderful! The food was amazing! This was what worried me the most as RC didn’t have good food at ...
We booked 18 cabins on this cruise directly thru MSC. They would do nothing for us as far as discounts or added ammenities for our group. They said they didn't have to give us anything. Bad start to a cruise.
Dining room staaff was horrible. First night we didn't have enough chairs at the table. Had to wait until they found chairs.
Didn't get rolls or butter. Tables near us had ...
FOOD:As a vegan I found the food to be lacking. There were some options but there wasn’t an ingredient list or clear vegan label on everything. I feel like the set up could have been much better in the marketplace buffet. There is a lot of room for improvement here.In my opinion it’s very outdated and low budget. The pizza with no cheese is basically what I ate all week with salads. Gets very ...
We were staying in cabin on the 11th floor with infinity ocean view boarded at Palmero with fantastica experience.
Issue 1: They do not clean you window. We were stuck with a dirty window for 5 days without anyone cleaning. When you complaint the room attendant say she promise they will clean on the next day. When next day comes they do not clean them. The window is dirty from them cleaning ...
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 ...
