A lot To be desired !!!

Ship: MSC Orchestra
Sail Date: Jun 24, 2012

It is sad to report that the company MSC wants to make money on everything including water.REALLY?? I was so surprised since this was my first ever cruise! I think that we should be able to eat at any restaurant on the ship for free. We were only allowed to eat in certain places and the food was not good. I am emabarassed for the Italian food served on this Italian cruise ship! I would not recommend this ship or cruise line for those reasons!

classy and clean ship, but food and service were sub-standard... quality of the meats were horrid.. service was good at times and terrible at others.. waiters are from indonesia and don't put a very good effort at pleasing the passanger.. shower in cabin was tiny and curtain kept blowing into shower.. no mints on pillows or towel art at night on bed.. Very disappointed........ Bermuda was beautiful and was the only highlight of the trip....

O.K. Cruise

Ship: MSC Orchestra
Sail Date: Apr 18, 2009

The ship was beautiful, I had a great time and a lot of laughs due to a family reunion onboard. So the overall week was fantastic. The food and the service in the dinning room could and should have been better. Some meals ranged from very good to awful (lobster). Bartenders & service help could have been friendlier and more interactive. Wasn't a bad cruise at all but could have been better on the food & service side.

A Beautiful Cruise

Ship: MSC Orchestra
Sail Date: Apr 11, 2009

The ship was beautiful but the staff was not very friendly and accomdating. Additionally the staff spoke very little English therefore it was difficult at times to communicate. The food was not what I expected on an Italian ship.

This was a beautiful ship and the service was outstanding. We heard several complaints while on board but I believe some people just can not be pleased!

Good for the price

Ship: MSC Orchestra
Sail Date: Apr 04, 2009

Ship was clean, the food was good. The entertainment was on the low side though...lot's of opera and almost no entertainment by the pool. I'm asking "where is the calypso music?" Also, on the days at sea, the pools were super crowded becuase of the layout of the ship. There is no pool just for adults which I missed as well.

MSC not long for US market

Ship: MSC Orchestra
Sail Date: Feb 28, 2009

A beautiful ship with a very attentive staff -great potential. But who wants to snorkel on St John at 10:30 PM? or hit the beach in Nassau from 7AM to noon? We never saw the Dominican Republic - we were stuck on a private island with hard, mildewed beach chairs - no pads- and the Barbeque was pay as you go - $7 for a hamburger, $5 for a small plastic cup of beer. Food on board was even worse and one paid extra for cappacino even in the dining room, or for ice cream during the day. No terry robes in balcony rooms and no turn down chocolates on the pillow. Finally disembarkation was unnecessarily difficult because ship returned to pier 19 when it had left from pier 4 - cars were not nearby and since I use a mobility scooter I could not take the shuttle easily to the garage to retrieve my car. Better planning is definitely required.
