Review summary

As stated we had an excellent cruise; there were some glitches with shore excursions but we would certainly recommend MSC Magnifica and this itinerary. The ship is well maintained and well managed - shows were excellent as was excursions (Malaga excursion with Flamenco show was first class. This itinerary allows a taste of north and south Western Europe. Very interesting!

Disappointed in the drinks package - firstly because my wife who hardly ever drinks had to take a separate package and the fact it's restrictive. Food was very good in all areas..and

For a major cruise port city Southampton is disappointing. Government and Council need to upgrade facilities.

Every cruise company make all persons in party have drinks package. They have clearly been conned previously.

Thanks for sharing. Did you attend the Paris excursion? Trying to figure out if it's worth it.
