The ship is beautiful! The food on the buffet is intolerable. I had breakfast food from the buffet one of the mornings on ship. I couldn't cut the pancakes using a fork or easily with a knife. They were rubbery, so I didn't consume them at all. Then I tried the fruit from that same breakfast bar. Couldn't cut it with a fork! Tried to bite into a different piece and it wasn't ripe either. Why are

This was our 8th MSC cruise, and based on past experiences, we had rather low expectations for the Magnifica. However, we were very pleasantly surprised, and thought this was our best MSC cruise ever. MSC has listened to the complaints and changed the muster drill to be similar to that of Royal Caribbean. They have also hired an American Cruise Director, and overall have tried very hard to

From someone who has cruised with Royal and Carnival this is by far the most relaxing and fun cruise for it's price point. I would not recommend this cruise to those with kids. I didn't have an issue with this because I cruised with my sixteen year old daughter (we spend most of our time laying out and in the spa). The ship is older but beautiful. We had a junior balcony and loved it. To be honest

The staff was nicely attired and well groomed. Many of the lower position staff (like those involved in assisting with safety drills) did not understand English and couldn’t answer simple questions. When understood, Staff members at all levels were very dedicated to complying with passenger requests.Our 9th deck cabin (including the bathroom) and its furniture needed an update. The cabin size

I read numerous reviews for MSC claiming horrible food, small portions, bad service, etc., but my experience was very good. Food excellent, exemplary service from staff, clean rooms and good entertainment. The only issue was needing to visit customer service several times to get our cruise card adjusted to reflect Aurea package. I can only guess that poor reviews are either to intentionally

This was our first cruise and the last. We went on this cruise for our honeymoon without the kids. I have read a lot of good and bad reviews about the MSC cruises. Please believe them. They are all true. I wish I would have read them prior to booking. Pros The room attendant was excellent. He cleaned our room twice a day. He was in the hallway from the time we woke up till after we went to

DO NOT RECOMMEND- TERRIBLE SERVICE

To say the least, the service on this cruise ship was horrible. Every bar is a nightmare to get a drink and unorganized. Communication between their own crewmates was horrible with so many workers not knowing where to find things or have correct info often even giving us false information. Unless you could sleep with nonstop alarms and sirens going off in the mornings, noone was still asleep past

My wife and I embarked the Magnifica on 5/10. Prior to our trip, I was able to upgrade to the Aurea level with a spacious room, large balcony and access to the Top 16 deck which was private. Towel service, excellent bar and bar staff. Especially Febry from Indonesia, Elvis from Kenya and Jeff from Roatan made our trip fantastic. Our cabin steward Raoul, I can’t speak enough kind words about this

We sailed from 5/6 to to 5/10. I have to say that this line is so underrated. My son (7) and I (40) left on Monday 5/6 and it’s his 4th cruise and my 8th, never traveled MSC before, but my goodness, this is by far one of the best cruises I have ever been on. People complain about the food, yea it’s not Michelin Star quality, but it was actually very good, and available 20 hours a day, the pizza is

My wife and i are diamonds on rcl and elite on celebrity but because of the price increases on the rcl fleet in general, we decided to give msc a try despite less than stellar reviews. We went in with open minds and reasonable expectations. We had one of our most enjoyable cruises ever!! From embarkation, (20 minutes). To disembarkation (20 minutes including customs). The food was good, not 5
