MSC Musica Cruise Reviews - Reviews

My 11-year old son and I just returned from our 7-day Musica cruise and we were somewhat horrified. It was my 4th his 3rd and we agree with the other reviews. There is no buffet option for dinner, no water, ice tea or snacks in between meals, breakfast and lunch buffet seemed to be conducted like a shark feeding frenzy with much pushing and shoving and cutting the lines. My son refused to join the kids club due to lack of english speakers. Despite the staff speaking english (I can speak high school Spanish) there were constant misunderstandings and miscommunications when asking for information or help. When asked where drinking cups were the response was "I don't know." When we used coffee cups instead of teeny water glasses to get water staff eyeballs rolled. No water available for drinking in between meals unless you paid for it!! We hoarded water in our own water bottles. I agree about other cruises being much more passenger friendly. My son and I basically hid in our balcony cabin unless we were in port or for meals. I've never experienced anything like this on my other 3 cruises.

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and are very glad we did because going to Greek islands and Jerusalem was amazing. And we were satisified with the room, service and food received. Perhaps there is not many activities inside the ship but we hardly had time to stay inside the ship anyway (and like I said, we booked it for the itinerary, not for ship's activities).

Terrible service, terrible food . Everything about this cruise was terrible. My worst cruise ever.

The choice to cruise in early Septembre is perfect for us, it is quieter (without the children) and more pleasant for the milder temperatures in these hot countries. The ship was one of our favorite ships.

Interesting ports in the Med. Rather an old ship.
