One of the most laid back, enjoyable cruises
Mar 10th, 2020
We found this one of the most relaxing cruises we have ever taken. The average age of the passengers were close to our age. It was very relaxed and enjoyable. We requested main dining seating at a larger table and have a fantastic time with the people that shared the table. An interesting and unforgettable time with them. I will warn you that the announcements are in 5-6 different languages. MSC deals with a larger varied clientele than many other cruise lines They have many onboard activities, but not as rowdy as many other lines. I would say a complete thumbs up for the cruise line and this ship.

A great time on the world’s okayest cruise line

Before we left, I read lots of reviews about MSC, so we didn’t expect a typical cruise experience. The price was right, the ports were great and the food was fine. The most enjoyable part of being on the ship was the opportunity to practice my French chatting with Europeans on holiday. Adjust your expectations for MSC and you’ll have a good time.

An excellent adventure

A lovely cruise around the eastern med, Albania was a real highlight. Bari was lovely, we went for a wander around the town and had lunch, Athens was disappointing however the Parthenon was great to see. Dubrovnik was very very hot and quite over crowded, but well worth a visit.

Wonderful except that British Airways failed to deliver our luggage and we had to buy a complete outfit to be in the cruise.

We enjoyed the trip. The staff were very informative and helpful The excursion guides except at Tallin were very informative. If we had our luggage during the trip we would have enjoyed it more

MSC is an adventure in international travel
Aug 7th, 2019
Overall MSC does a pretty good job of managing 3000 passengers who speak many different languages. I applaud them for that. The service is variable and reflect language problems and different ideas of what service is compared to North American standards. The food is obviously mass produced and has to cater to many different tastes. Don't take this cruise if you want excellent onboard cuisine (but occasional they would surprise me with something wonderful). If you are a native English speaker (and that is your only language) be aware that finding someone who knows conversation English will be a challenge which to me really was major negative for this trip. But if you want a really international experience and want to me folks from many different countries (and not just Americans, Canadians, Aussies and New Zealanders) and or you speak some conversation Italian, French, German or Spanish, then MSC is the cruise line for you.

Went on this ship with a friend. I wish that there was more food late night. We got stuck eating wrapped sandwiches. We did have a lot of fun, was difficult when we were docked and the ship was so quiet and we could hear all the partying on the ship docked behind us. I would still def go on more MSC ships as i do love them very much!
Beautiful destinations cruise
