Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Great itinerary. Fantastic ship. Good staff. The ship comes to life just before midnight.

Awesome cruise that my wife and I can't wait to take again or something very similar. Highly recommend this cruise and even this ship! Again we loved it. Everything was 100% Frist Class! Thank you MSC!

Sorry MSC, we will part way, after my 41stcruise and my Diamond status with you I have decided, that you dont offer what we are looking for.

Overall this was a wonderful and good value cruise, visiting lots of interesting ports in the Mediterranean. We were originally due to sail on the MSC Sinfonia to Israel and Greece, however when that was cancelled we chose this (a 10-night roundtrip from Genoa) and definitely were not disappointed. MSC Poesia is a delightful ship with great crew and good food. Whilst there were some points for improvement, we had a terrific time and look forward to sailing with MSC again soon. It is worth noting during the second night of the cruise, around midnight, there was a small fire onboard. It was quickly and professionally contained within around 30 minutes by the crew, and we were kept informed by the captain and cruise director, with no further issues or impact on the voyage once it was extinguished. This emergency was handled well by MSC.

Adequate cruise spoiled by itinerary change (missed Morocco and Madeira) and poor food and entertainment on board.

I had so much anticipations for this cruise. While I understand that weather and water conditions couldn't be controlled, I was disappointed by the change in booked itinerary. The worst of all, was that horrible gasoline stench plaguing half of the ship for the first 3 days. It ruined the entire experience. My worst cruising experience.

This was my first cruise and I could not have wished for a better experience. Apart from the food which was lukewarm at times, everything else was good or excellent

I really wanted to cruise on the Prima since it was a new ship. I was underwhelmed by the experience.

All in all it wasn't a bad experience. The whole experience seemed rather rushed with only two sea days.

Such an amazing cruise. We loved the history and all the beautiful architecture. We would definitely do this cruise again

Accommodations were great, didn't feel crowded at all on ship, great selection of entertainment and things to do. Beautiful pool area and all the common areas well designed.

This was a wonderful experience in every way. We plan to go again and pick up where we left off in Rome and travel to Greece with Viking.

Overall a very nice cruise. The Staff on the ship is wonderful except for the Activities Director who was not!

Excellent and very beautifull experience. Every day was perfect for us. Thanks

Thank you very much for a life-changing adventure. I met many "cruisers" who have lived their entire life participating in Carnivals amazing opportunities to tour the world. I will recommend your cruise line to everyone we meet, and one day again will be experiencing this wonderful way to travel. Thanks again.

Overall a wonderful experience and beautiful locations. We will be returning to some of the areas that we want to spend more time in.

Loved it. Will go again. And I’ll just keep typing till I hit 50 characters.

Picked this cruise as ship was small and for the itinerary. Apart from the rundown ship it met my expectations and I enjoyed it. Just look beyond the dilapidation.

As we have done this itinerary a couple of times before we decided to stay onboard and explore the ship this time. We were also travelling with my father so we took things at a more leisurely pace!

All the staff was wonderful! Entertainment, food , excellent, was a fun ship. Room was perfect!
