Smoking on ship was a shocking surprise. Too much animation on sun deck. by 007CRUISER

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

Good cruise, good food, friendly staff - but unfortenately, smoking is aloud in serveral restaurants, bars, on the main deck etc. This was very disturbing, since the entire ship smells of smoke!!!

 

The animation on the sun deck with super-intelligent games (???) is just way too loud and unnecessary. You may hardly conversate.

A cruise also is for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of the sea - and not just party alone.

Mixed review by BarryMerrill

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

Buffet food was mediocre and the hot food was luke warm. Excursions for the most part were not that great. Many excursions wasted much time getting ready and traveling, limiting time at the site. Ibiza sunset excursion was terrible; we were dropped off in the town center without a clue whereto go to see the sunset. Cruise crew and staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

MSC Mediterranean Cruise by Td11

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: MSC Sinfonia / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

The ship was a smaller ship, and was in good shape. We have taken 15+ cruises and this was the worst. The ship advertised 24 hr coffee tea and water and did not have it. You would return from port and not be able to find a snack, not even a cookie or sandwich. The quality of the food was not up to the standards of any of the American cruise lines. For an Italian line, Costa has much better service and amenities. We didn't want to cruise Europe with a rock climbing wall or water slide, so we payed more for this line, but we had hoped for food and pleasantries.

Mediterranean Cruise by LvR

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

It was a nice clean ship to begin with. This is not a children oriented cruise, but there were many of them. The excursions are pricey and not very worth it. Everything is included in price as far as food outside of drinks, ice cream, and room service. Very nice to have all announcements in every language needed. Itinerary is given at the end of every day for the next day's adventures. No real city information given if you do not go out on the boat excursion. Not very much time in some places even though it may be a huge city.

The Perfect Mediterranean Experience by MartinD4

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

The Sinfonia is a well appointed vessel with many new facilities and emenities. The staff, crew, entertainment, and service was excellent. From the reception staff to the food service staff, without exception everyone was genuinely kind, pleasant and accomidating. We could not have asked for better service. As I travel quite a bit for my profession, I have become accustom to five start accomidations and hospitality. I was very much at home on the Sinfonia. A truly exceptional experience.

Lovely cruise by JoannG9177666

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

This ship is about one year old and very well maintained. The cabins are good size with the most storage I've ever had. The bath is small but adequate. The outside rooms have a very large picture window. The public rooms are well appointed and comfortable.

Our most terrible cruise by Maiklnik

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

It was our most terrible cruise! Several times over the course of several days, the air conditioning in the room did not work and there was nothing to breathe. Also, air conditioning of the entire 8th deck did not work periodically. The food is monotonous simple and poor. The food is mostly tasteless.

Excellent Adriatic cruise vacation by jinane

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

We enjoyed a lot our Adriatic cruise on MSC Sinfonia. Although we tried bigger ships but the Sinfonia has her own magic. As each ship have her own glance. The Adriatic is beautiful Greece, Croatia and Italy they are all ports that we enjoyed extremely.

I very much enjoyed my... by LisaKitty

Sail date: /
Ship: MSC Sinfonia

I very much enjoyed my cruise aboard the Sinfonia. Yes, it is an older ship without all the "bells and whistles", but it is comfortable and well maintained. The crew was very friendly and helpful, and I never found language to be much of a barrier at all. Loved the food, the entertainment, and the excursions/itinerary. We also purchased the Basic drinks package, and found it to be an excellent value. I will definitely cruise with MSC again.

Bad Itenanary by ElnaBotha

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Sinfonia / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Itenanary was bad. Time in Santorini too short and 2 days at sea too much. Bathroom and shower too small. How overweight people use shower is impossible.

Went on our first cruise... by Derfinn

Sail date: /
Ship: MSC Sinfonia

Went on our first cruise on the MSC Sinfonica. Was the perfect size, not too big not too small! Food was good. Really enjoyed the options in Il Galeone. But, one evening ate in the buffet, was surprised to see the exact same food, but then I suppose there is limited space to prepare different dishes. Staff were generally very good and attentive. The only two exceptions was the receptionist/nurse in the Medical Centre who was rude and abrupt when my partner was ill. That night, I was dining alone, as the other couple at our table did not show up. The adjacent table, set for 12 but only had 6 assigned, asked if I’d like to join. I did. The waiter was not impressed. But, despite those two incidents, I really enjoyed my first cruise. Will definitely have another cruise holiday.
