Definitely won’t sail this line again, the cruise line tried but the other patrons were so rude to us that we ended up not enjoying ourselves
Embarkation
5 out of 5
The embarkation process was easy, we arrived fairly early and it was pretty quiet getting on the ship. We were pleased and ready for some relaxation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was good, same as other crews lines in terms of the general pop buffet.
The Heineken brew taps were nice to have around however sometimes they wouldn’t work.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
We do not go cruising for the on-board activities but they were pretty lack luster. Pools were filled with rude, self entitled non Americans. The ladies were snobby and the
men were arrogant. Definitely not fans of Americans...
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We enjoyed the shows, they are working hard to appeal to the American market, the other foreign patrons not as much. Very evident they do not appreciate American culture
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff was friendly as they always are
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Beautiful and elegant, however packed to many people on board
I think MSC cruiselines and Costa have an abundance of those rude types of European. Even though they aren't the majority, they stand out, unfortunately. Not implying that all European are rude or that other nation's people can't be rude too. Anyway, thank you for your review.
Sorry you encountered so many rude passengers. I've never had any problems with citizens from other countries, but have a few horror stories I could share about onboard interactions with drunkin' frat boys on Spring Break....!😲
Sorry you had a bad experience with MSC. I have not really had a similar one on my cruises and I think rudeness is not specific to one part of the world. I personally have enjoyed the diversity of the passengers on MSC cruises and have made cruise buddies with many of them.
I sailed seaside and meraviglia. I agree with you about the rude patrons. I was very surprised at how rude the european guests were on this particular cruise line. That being said, its not the fault of MSC....unfortunate that is how many europeans are. We found if we ignored it and stood our ground when necessary (when ordering a drink at the bar and someone pushes us aside to order their own drink)..we found ourselves enjoying the cruise much more
