Review summary
I had the unfortunate experience of embarking on an MSC Seascape cruise recently, and I must say it was nothing short of a nightmare. Here's a comprehensive rundown of my dismal encounter: Hygiene Horror Show: To kick things off, I was greeted with the charming sight of poop floating in the water park. Yes, you read that correctly. The supposed 'fun' aquatic area turned into a disgusting pool of filth. It's safe to say I avoided that area like the plague. Culinary Catastrophe: The food on this cruise ship was, to put it kindly, barely edible. I'm not the pickiest eater, but I struggled to find anything remotely appetizing. It felt like they were testing the limits of how awful cruise food could be. Mystery Respiratory Illness: If the abysmal food wasn't enough, I also contracted some mysterious respiratory illness during the cruise. It's anyone's guess what it was, but it definitely wasn't what I had in mind when planning a relaxing vacation. Collective Misery: It wasn't just me; every person I had the misfortune of running into seemed to be having a terrible time. There was a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction that hung over the ship like a dark cloud. Rude Bartenders: If you thought you could drown your sorrows in a drink, think again. The bartenders were not only unhelpful but downright rude. It's as if they were on a mission to make our experience as unpleasant as possible. Sweltering Saunas for Rooms: The rooms were like saunas, but without any of the relaxation. They were hot, dry, and incredibly uncomfortable. Good luck getting a decent night's sleep in those conditions. Financial Fiasco: And to top it all off, I discovered random charges on my credit card with no way to access the ship's app to see a receipt. Talk about adding insult to injury. In conclusion, my MSC Seascape cruise was an absolute disaster. It was riddled with hygiene issues, terrible food, mysterious illnesses, unhappy passengers, rude staff, uncomfortable rooms, and financial confusion. I wouldn't recommend this cruise line to my worst enemy. Save your money and sanity and look elsewhere for a vacation that won't leave you scarred for life.Embarkation
