MSC Cruises UK & Ireland

Staff exceptional and Virtuosa was Clean and accessible.
Most of the staff are exceptional, they are friendly and provide an excellent service. The Virtuosa is loud and aimed at parties who want to drink and enjoy loud environments, its easy to see why the company has become a victim of its own marketing in this area. Off board trips are expensive, but aren't they all. The cruise was good value for money, and on the whole the food is good, catering for a lot of tastes, with a good always available menu in the MDR's. Shows are average, we saw an ABBA tribute, without Benny & Bjorn! Must of been their day off! A singer that once sang on Michael Barrimore's show..yeah... And a paid show that was so poorly scripted and executed, it was just sad to watch! It was a cross between BGT, Chess and Starlight Express. It was as though someone had got given a bunch of entertainers and was forced to get all of them in a show. They were great individually, I couldn't do it, but it was just random, and it was like an audition for BGT! On saying that, the boat was clean and getting on and off for trips and embarkation etc was easy and the cabin was clean and fresh. The TV played UK channels which was nice to keep up with things at home, and the wifi, even though we had the basic, was really good. Would we go with MSC again? Probably, it was overall good, and value for money.
