MSC Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of MSC Cruises (2024)

3.3

But seriously, the most underwhelming cruise I have ever been on. The staff could have cared less if you had good service, bartenders didn’t know how to make drinks and took forever to acknowledge you. There is hardly any entertainment but one show that plays 3 times per night and live music with some dancing in a different language each night. No comedy, no karaoke, no night club, only soccer on

Incredible ship, modern and spacious. Beautifully clean. Largest family interior we have had. We’ve sailed on Royal, Ncl and Costa. Msc was a first for us. Embarkation super quick (as they have people embark on at every port. We didn’t queue at all on any port)Back of the ship is breathtaking. Variety of Mediterranean food served in the main dining room. Fish was beautiful, meat’s

My wife and I just returned from our second MSC cruise we have been on in the last two months. The first was to Canada in may and the second was to Bahamas in June. We were concerned with the reviews we had read but were pleasantly surprised. After 14 days total here are the good and bad that really stuck out. Bad - without a drink package we were often dehydrated. The included water /

Shocking! Smoking everywhere on the cruise unacceptable! Disabled passenger taken advantage of by drinks package salesman when boarding the cruise! Took £2088 from my father in law telling him it was only £87. I was alongside him when he asked is that the full price for duration he said yes for all 12 days!!!! £87. When i contacted reception that told me they had removed it but some two days later

My wife and I have cruised four times on Virtuosa in the last two years , twice with teenage grandsons in July.We were well aware of overcrowding issues.We were shocked at the dramatic deterioration in the food available in all in restaurants we visited ( only the non chargeable)In particular the choice and quality in the main restaurants was a disgrace. I realise that food opinions

We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and the ship. Our cabin was spotless. The food was good and exactly what we expected for the price. We enjoyed the shows, both paid and complimentary.The staff were always friendly and helpful. We ate at 3 of the speciality restaurants. Indochine, Butchers Cut and Hola. All were very enjoyable, Butchers Cut was our favourite. We all enjoyed Il Campo, which

It was a very very very bad experience!! It was our first experience and for sure the last one with MSC! There is no hygienne in the entire cruise! The food is aweful and they served the same food for 8 days!! The staff is very rude and not friendly example we asked for express ironing service in the morning and till next day no one came to take the clothes although we called them many times to

We are experienced cruisers, but new to MSC. We had been to all the ports multiple times, so I won't review the ports, just the ship itself. Positives: Beautiful ship. Comfortable deluxe balcony room. Ample space for everything. Balcony had 2 chairs and a table/footstool that allowed for having a meal or a drink outside in privacy while enjoying the view. Food in the buffet was

Bar service is horrible.. slow, not friendly, and the whole card thing is annoying!I get the drink card is necessary, but at the buffet, when you want coffee of juice, is it always necessary. Not once did anyone come to see if you need a drink..My 80 year old father almost choked.. but still not water or coffee.. I told them they should be caring and pouring coffee and water as soon as

I've never left a review on cruise critic before. Sailed in the past with Celebrity, P&O and now MSC. But I felt compelled to do so some of the reviews posted about Virtuosa are complete and utter nonsense.My family and I are just back from the most wonderful time on-board MSC Cruises. The embarkation was easy, our rooms were splendid and functional. The food was fabulous. The shows were
