Review summary

This was by far the worst cruise we had ever experienced!!! Not only was the service very poor and unfriendly, the food was very bad and not to mention the people on the cruise had no manners and were very miserable people. The ports were also too short of times and they tried to make extra money out of you at most for shuttles. Unlike other ships you have to pay for room service breakfast. We got on the boat each day just before the 30min before take off and each time were told to be on earlier next time which we have never heard before. Overall, just an awful experience.

The lady cleaning our cabin was the one positive. She was great but other then that the washroom was too small and water got everywhere in the shower.

Ship tip

I would never recommend this cruise unless you are above the age of 70 and don't like socializing with people and don't care about food. I would recommend any other ship over MSC in future, especially Carnival and Royal Carribbean.

We were on our 1st and last MSC cruise December 2009 (New year's) and I'm shocked to read that nothing changed in 9 years. We had the same reaction. The food was very bad and not enough, the service very bad and the attitude of the customer service reps very bad. As I see nothing improved. This company is on our Never Again list.
