Review summary

Cabin and ship were both great. Restaurant and general staff great. However after paying top money got balcony cabin was most disappointed how MSC charges for Everything. (Plus a surcharge of 15 per cent on on drinks ) ships communication was bad, excursions and shuttles over priced, it was cheaper to hire a can for three hours between four than use ships rip off excursions. Food was ordinary in buffet, restaurant food was boring and too small. Management seems more interested in emoting your pocket than helping make your cruise enjoyable. Over 50 people we spoke to felt the same, and like us will never cruise with MSC again. Most unhappy. Cruising should be fun not stressful. Everything on the ship is an added cost to your cruise. Be prepared, we spent modestly and spent over 650 euros.

We had a great time on Poesia. Bought the drink package, as you have to on other ships, and nothing else extra. The gratuity on drinks on other cruise lines is 18% so MSC is cheaper.
