MSC Poesia

Sail date: December 26, 2010

Ship: MSC Poesia

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Family (older children)

Review summary

Controlled payments to dinner staff and cabin stewards when poor service is provided was inappropriate. Embarkation was a huge conflict with personnel waiting and the 1 person in charge (much yelling by the MSC person). Poor food service. Poor menu. We have been on 30 cruises, and won't go on this line again.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

Very nice port, one of the reasons we selected the trip.

Don't Miss: Shopping on the Drake Passage.

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5

We didn't go to Nassau, we went to Freeport. I would have not booked this cruise if I knew it was going to Freeport. It was falsely advertised.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

Very nice port, also a reason we went on the cruise. We were in port too short, this seemed like a shorting for the passengers.

Pros: Evening Entertainment

Cons: Food and Ports

Recommends MSC Poesia? No.
