MSC Bellissima Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was my first cruise. I was astounded at the service and the ship. Easy to get around and the food was great. We used the Yacht Club. Fine dining for all three meals. Music and a lounge in the evening. Beautiful views from the front of the ship. A butler attends to your every need. Room cleaned twice a day. The staff helps you get on and off the ship. The room was great. Everyone was so nice!

Excellent cruise for the ports of call, lots of full days off the ship which was nice. The ship is well appointed and they do a great job of entertaining and keeping you engaged if you would like to be. The rooms are sizable and clean. Great value for the money. Only complaint was the lack of options for food and drink. The standard dining was not very good.

This was the first cruise that my husband and I had ever been on, and it was such a great experience that we are already planning the next one. Many thanks to MSC and the super awesome staff members that made this experience amazing. We felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Our MSC Bellissima cruise was lovely! Staff was great, food could have been better, but overall a good time.

After taking 30 cruises so far I liked this one the most!!! The ship, the service, etc.

Ship is new and clean, however staffs (except dining room staff) are not passenger friendly. Just ignore your existence.

I will not cruise this line again for international destinations

MSC Bellissima is a fabulous ship with great customer service and lots to do. We visited wonderful ports and had excellent excursions in each port. Seeing the Middle East on this ship was an incredible experience. The one and only downside was the dining room food, which left much to be desired.

Wonderful experiences in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The ship itself was Amazing and super modern. Will likely never travel MSC Cruises again; too stressful with all of the ala' cart options with very little options to do anything with incurring an extra fee.

Excellent Ports and Excursions. Good cruise option to take.

The Bellissima is a gorgeous ship. Food on the ship is good, but was only marginal in dining rooms. Pizza at the buffet was awesome. There was too much pushy upselling of drinks and dining packages. Most of the staff encountered was great and very friendly. The only exception we had to this was in the Photo Gallery. The shows were mostly below average. I would cruise again just because of the beauty and comfort of the ship itself.

I would love love to come back again on this cruise. I’ll bring my sisters with me next time , but more bingo game though I had fun playing but was too short

It was excellent cruiseship line and ports of call.

I had high expectations for this cruise and they were all met. The food was delicious, the staff was very helpful and polite, the cruise activities were fun and exciting. This is a great cruise to go with your family.

When: 1 feb to 8 feb from Napoli. Note: basic ticket is hundreds of euros cheaper for Italians (compare prices on their sites). Outdoor: Outdoor pool on deck 15 was dirty with hair and trash. The whole back half of the ship plus chairs were covered in soot, and nobody bothered to clean the deck nor the chairs, and it got worse by the day. I saw chunks of soot the size of coal on the deck where the water glides are. I've seen soot on other cruise ships, but it was always cleaned up immediately. Bars: Half of the deck bar is reserved for smokers. Hardly any quiet places. Sky Lounge was two times inaccessible due to 'private party'. Everything has a 15% charge, so a cocktail of 8 eur plus 15% = EUR 9,20. Quality of the food was low in the included restaurant (you get a table assigned, so you cannot go to the other included restaurants). After a couple of days we decided to only eat in the buffet, which had surprisingly better food. Restaurants: Staff didn't bother to tell people to wash their hands at the chaotic buffet Market Place, so probably only 1 out of 1000 passengers cleaned their hands. No plastic gloves. Also a lot of cooks didn't wear gloves. Running, coughing, sick kids. Many of the hand sanitizer stations were empty/not functioning. I did TUI Cruises, Celestyal, and Costa, and now MSC, but I'll avoid MSC in the future. I couldn't wait to leave the ship, and the biggest souvenir I got was a very severe case of the flu.

Nice don't know if it was the ship or the cruise line Might try MSC one more time before I make a decision if I go on MSC again Like I stated before they have a long way to go before they come close to RCL or Princess This is about the 38 cruise that I have been on .

Overall the cruise was nice but we had a lot of problems with excursions desk and others that I didn’t explain. Probably not going to cruise with MSC again unfortunately

Not one of my favourite as far as food and beverage go bit disappointed as it was a european cruise line expected the coffee to be excellent.

First time with MSC always cruised with P&O before. Endless announcements in multiple languages gets a bit dull after a while. Glad to say next 5 cruises booked already with P&O so normal service will resume soon! Well February 2020 to be exact. Chose this cruise as have teenage kids who say P&O ships are boring, so this cruise was really for them. We were super lucky with the weather and it was a great break. We would cruise with MSC again if the itinerary suited us, I would not say it was great value, 1 week 4 of us sharing a room over 4K but we did opt for Aurea level so got the free access to the spa and got the premium drinks package which was a god send! Sky lounge there version of the Crows nest, no atmosphere very quiet a real shame. Good experience but looking forward to slipping on my comfortable slippers aboard P&O.

We were a party of four and we left Barcelona on the 25th Oct & just got back home yesterday. It was our first Cruise & it was fabulous. Our only hiccup was that unfortunately my cabin mate had a bereavement in her family and had to disembark on Monday. There was NO specific person to deal with us in this situation, to help with disembarking, find flights home etc. we had to deal with staff at reception and they were not very helpful and not sympathetic. We had to buy a 24 hr WiFi package @ €39.90 so that we could look for flights home. Reception did print out the flight tickets on the morning my cabin mate left the ship. The rest of the party could not get flights home & we had no choice but to stay on the ship for the rest of the cruise. We had an excursion booked for four on the Monday my cabin mate left, we cancelled the excursion for two of us but we were still charged 50% of the cost. I was really annoyed about this because we had a genuine excuse to cancel. We decided that two from the party would continue to take the excursion. The other two would have cancelled as well if it wasn’t for the charges and Would have all gone to the airport with our friend otherwise. These would be the only negative comments we would have about the cruise. On our last night we went to reception and met Nirmatee Baungally a guest service agent and she was fabulous and so helpful. Keep an eye out for her! The staff on board were just fabulous. Wellington, Thalita and Tamires Cristina in the Bellissima Bar were just wonderful, so attentive, friendly and so much craic. If you meet them please let them know that the 4 Irish Ladies sang their praises. Arta the waiter in our restaurant who took care of us for 7 nights straight was a pure pleasure to deal with, he made our dinner experience every night very special. We also met Tatiana Franco a Program Publisher who gave us loads of information and was very generous with her time. All the staff were extremely friendly in the bars restaurants, shops and housekeeping. The food was very good, we had a drinks package that catered very well for our needs. The party atmosphere every night in the Bellissima lounge was second to none and we felt were we were definitely on holidays. All in all if you are willing to be friendly and have a good time the MSC Bellissima will not disappoint. We will definitely be booking again.
