MSC Cruise Reviews

Was hesitant about being on a ship as large as the MSC Euribia, but chose the cruise for the itinerary. The ship is beautiful, our cabin 10130 was a good size and everything was kept clean, but there were too many people for our liking. Also there is not enough seating in the bar/lounge areas (especially sea days). Also appeared not to be enough wait ...read more staff in those areas as it was hard to place a drinks order and then a long wait to receive them! Food served in the Colorado restaurant for dinner was excellent and the table waiters were very good. Remembered our preferences for drinks and also the butter for the bread rolls!

Unfortunately due to a storm in the English Channel we had to miss the port of Le Havre. Was expecting a refund of the port charges but not to be. Other cruise lines refund but not MSC apparently. This was our 1st MSC cruise and probably our last - prefer other cruise lines such as Princess or Holland America. There were a large number of children on board which we hadn’t anticipated (didn’t realise it was end of school break in England). Plenty of activities on board for children and would probably be a good holiday for families. Embarkation and disembarkation were handled well and did not take long. As we did our own thing in each port, rather than a ship excursion, the provision of shuttle buses into the city centres were a great help. As usual Tracey and the team at Global Journeys were great with all aspects of our booking. Will happily use again for future trips.
