MSC Cruises UK & Ireland Reviews

Can improve with staff being up to the challenge and being lazy at the buffet especially cause they r slow and lazy to clean tables and clear tables.when we we embarked we went to buffet straight away the floors weren't cleaned where we sat down no one was eating at time so was not cleaned from previous day

great value,great food,friendly helpful staff

Worst cruise we have ever had as avid cruisers this ship is packed to the rafters with not very much social space for the capacity of people they have on board, not very much going on and pool areas your worst nightmare everything about this ship screams fill it as much as they can make as much money out of people and give as little as possible back to customers, poor food, poor and not much entertainment, not enough seating at public areas,, pool areas time restricted waterslides close 5pm, the list could go on and on MSC need to look at other cruise lines and get it right or stick to what they know cargo ships as this is not a pleasurable holiday but nothing short of an endurance test.

Food was good , value for money , but too many people on board. crowd after crowd. MSC are too greedy, cram as many people on board as possible to make the most money. If there were 500 less people onboard it would be easier to get a seat and service would be quicker. Also boarding was a real hassle having to queue for ages. Not a very pleasant experience.

Very nice ship with a great relaxing feel. The public areas are kept clean and tidy, friendly efficient staff make for a great holiday

Excellent, friendly and efficient staff. Good value for money. Impressive variety of entertainment throughout public rooms.

Good price for cruise but expect to spend lots on board.

Great experance with the ship,staff very friendly and helpful. A good choice of food in the buffet but it was a little busy and noisy so we eat as much as possible in the dinning rooms which were great. Good entertainment in the bars and the theatre shows were excellent. The one thing which niffed me was the suttle buses that you had to pay for in some ports, the Marseille one inparticule as it was 17euros each and it only took you to the end of the port not the middle of town. The most expensive bus ride ever of 1 km, especaly after paying we found out there was a free one 200mts away from the boat.

Amazing modern ships, great staff, great entertainment and all at an affordable price

Really enjoyed my first cruise, it lived up to expectations. Just go with the flow, do or don’t do whatever you want. People seem to nit pick but I didn’t have a problem with anything. Staff are lovely, room was great, variety of activities. Never had a problem in the Marketplace or anywhere else. Would definitely go again.

Excellent ship .staff. food.

It’s my first time experience on the cruise . I enjoy my time .

Excellent staff, shows, embarkation and disembarkation Dining average Cabin good No quiet outside areas Pool area overcrowded and very noisy Very few tables for two in the buffet and restaurants

Food and entertainment average

For our first time cruise it was a fantastic experience and I'm looking forward to booking again in the near future

Loved our itenary .cabin was excellent as well as food. Entertainment was very varied and afforded a great time of thorough enjoyment. Staff was always attentive to any need or enquiry.. The guides provided fir inshore excursions were very well versed with geography and history of areas visited

Route and ship fantastic food and service a real let down

MSC Virtuosa is beautiful, big and gets easier to navigate in a few days, the Entertainment is 1st class, the Dirty dancing concert just amazing, the Carousel Lounge shows Vegas quality acrobats, and dancers, standing ovation 2 nights in the different shows, absolutely mind blowing, food and service very good, with first class service of Benny our waiter who looked after us and kept us upto date with timings on ship, what a star, the bars L'atelier and Sky lounge great little bars with some lovley Belgian and German beers, Virtuosa has to be seen to be believe, great value and destinations
