MSC Magnifica

7 Night Eastern Mediterranean (Venice Roundtrip)

Sail date: June 11, 2011

Ship: MSC Magnifica

Cabin type: Suite

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 13 years ago

Review summary

Food was unimaginative and unappetizing unless you like pizza and pasta. Meats were few and far between. Portions were small. Buffet was uninspiring. And, service staff acted like they could care less. This is unfortunate, as the ship, itself, is beautiful. Selection of tours was very limited. Very few activities. Makes Carnival look like Crystal!

How surprising that the Italian food was not good.
