MSC Opera overview

Since its christening by Godmother Sophia Loren, the MSC Opera has lived up to the connotations of its name: timeless, opulent, and grand. A sweeping marble reception area welcomes guests onboard with panoramic windows overlooking the sea. Many of the 878 spacious staterooms include private balconies. After an invigorating fitness workout on state-of-the-art equipment, don a plush robe and get pampered in a private room of the luxurious spa. Dining is a delight, with a pair of restaurants, a pizzeria, and a grill offering sumptuous traditional Italian cuisine. And by the time the curtain falls in Teatro Dell 'Opera, you will know the warmth of true Italian hospitality.

Severe Disappointment by buildme12

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Opera / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Prepaid for many items. When we got on board they claimed we hadn't paid for any since they couldn't see it in their system. Everything was a fight but thank God I had printed receipts with me. Many card changes because they claimed we didn't look like our pictures. Cold food. Limited food selection.

Very enjoyable family getaway by atreas

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: MSC Opera / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

We chose this cruise because we were sailing out of Naples and, quite frankly, it was the only option! We were not disappointed by anything. If you cruise often or you’ve been on a bigger newer boat this is definitely different. But so long as you know that going in and don’t hold the Opera to the same expectations as you might a ship with a flight simulator or 24 restaurants I think you’ll have a great time (and save a bunch of money). We met people from all over the world, had great food at almost every meal, our rooms were wonderful and the staff was very pleasant.
