Not what MSC used to be

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

I booked this shorter Med cruise, to check if standards and general improvement where high on MSC wish list, to my dismay they were not. After a shambolic trip on the MSC Opera from Abu Dhabi to Genoa in may 2023, I tested the so called high calibre of service and quality which the company was aiming for, unfortunately all fallen by the wayside. The embarkation process was swift and very quick, ...

Staff is great and they out of their way to please customers. Food is below average and repeats every day. Ship layout is amazing and provides feeling of a smaller ship. Nothing is ever crowded. Reserve balconies are good for one person. However the room a spacious. Spa wasn't fully ready. Onboarding was smooth even for a large ship. Cost management is very obvious. Big shows ...

Free balcony casino player offer. Cabin lovely - glass shower enclosure, sofa, comfy twin beds, adequate closet and drawers. Still winter in Europe so balcony not used. Shows with guest performers in atrium seen on three levels. A few standouts but no theater experiences in arena. Area 19 closed. Buffet extra crowded and noisy at B&L. 7:30 deck 6/7 dining rooms had long lines waiting to be seated ...

Booked on 3rd cruise, ended up on 1st cruise. Feb 14 cancelled with four day’s notice. No communication from Princess. Would have cancelled if we could but they had our money. Ended up on a ship that was not ready to sail. Obvious cash grab by Princess. It was a bait and switch. All large performance venues closed. Many on deck amenities closed or broken. They did work tirelessly to fix stuff and ...

Looked forward to sailing on what was promoted as a fantastic ship. However. venues too closed in a nowhere for a quiet drink before dinner as everything took place in the piazza. On Plus package and ket getting charges fro drinks I never had. No shows, No Park 19, No Dome events. this list could go on. Even paid a supplement for speciality and was charged service charge on top of that. Do not ...

Disappointing cost cutting by P&O!

Having enjoyed previous cruises with P&O and the itinerary suited our need to celebrate a birthday, we booked a cruise to Spain and Portugal. The ship is beautiful but the quality of the food and the service has declined over recent times. The daytime entertainment was poor with most events designed to 'sell' rather than entertain! No live music until mid afternoon yet the lounge was often full. ...

Viking is not my thing

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Had the opportunity to cruise with Viking for the first time recently. We've done 21 cruises with most of the major players out there, and a few of the premium lines. Positives: - Very clean cabins with 2X day housekeeping - No cruisers under 18 years of age - Perfect sized ship - No upsell once on board - Embarkation / Disembarkation very easy - Decent selection of Video On ...

Always our favourite cruise company going downhill

Review for a Canary Islands Cruise on Marella Explorer

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We didn't realise that we were going to a holiday camp. In fairness I have to say that the cleanliness, cabins, shows, restaurants and staff service and attitudes were excellent, however we have travelled many times with Thomson and Marella and as soon as they went all inclusive their product became Benidorm. You are supposed to at least wear "tailored" shorts in the restaurant but they were ...

Not quite what I had hoped 21 nights of mediocrity

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Euribia

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I give my thoughts as this is my 20th + cruise and have traveled with several lines. I chose this cruise as it should be 21 days of what I had hoped would be getting to know other guests and chat. I was not aware there are huge changes of guests at every port visited. Not ideal I think. Food is all quite bland In complementary restaurants. There are several pay to eat restaurants with high ...

Viking is known for its impeccable quality in cruises ; they did not disappoint ! Service, food, ship, all excellent. The stateroom was nicely appointed and serviced twice a day. Our room steward was extremely attentive. The bed was firm but comfortable. Dining was very good. Several restaurants to choose from. The world cafe buffet was a bit crowded several nights , but we managed and the ...
