Just returned from an amazing 14 day Caribbean cruise which we selected for the fantastic itinerary. It stopped in a port every day, 12 of which were different, 2 of which were repeated stops. Managed to see and do lots of excursions some both via MSC and independently. Even though we have done Caribbean cruises before this one had several islands we had never visited including Dominica, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint Vincent plus some old favourites! Did some great rain forest hikes, visited waterfalls and saw some great scenery and wildlife plus beaches, shopping and of course rum tasting. A really busy schedule but so enjoyable! That’s what cruising is all about.

We have cruised with MSC a few times (and many other mid range cruise lines) so we knew to expect an amazing ship and the Preziosa is a great example. This cruise was booked as a package through an agent and included a drinks package, hotel, transfers and flight so was great value for money. I have just read a really odd review suggesting that the service was poor but to be perfectly honest I have no idea what ship this person was on but his/her main concern was clearly food and nothing else. I do believe in general that cruise food standards are not as good as they were 10 years ago but people need to remember that it’s just a package holiday at sea and not a 5* dining experience. Some of the luxury lines still maintain consistently high dining room standards but you just need to pay more to get this and some people just prefer to moan than pay

This is my 20th cruise (8 different cruise lines) and I can honestly say the crew on this ship were amazing. They were ALL friendly, hardworking, chatty and efficient, we never had to wait to be served food or drinks Read more
