Back from my first ever MSC Cruise (Euribia) after some 30 cruises on a variety of differing lines. My overall impression is not good and when asked I use an analogy that a Travelodge is good in that it provides a decent bed, en-suite, coffee maker etc. and if that’s all you’ve experienced you’d think it was pretty good. However, if you’ve stayed in the Hilton, Intercontinental etc. you’d probably think the Travelodge was not so great and that folks is where I will leave it.
The ship itself is fantastic but overall for me the good was far out weighed by the very bad.
It’s cheap for a reason and it shows 😬See AlsoOcean World Travel - Cruise Ship
It is a pity you couldn't be more specific and compare an equal experience on MSC and one of your other cruises. A blanket statement doesn't provide enough detail.
We have cruised Celebrity 5 times and have Elite status through Royal, we have 100 nights now with MSC on several ships.. I know which line I prefer now , cost isn't the first factor, I have more fun with MSC.
I am always willing to give companies a second chance, heck it was 15 years before we gave Princess one 😂. We went on Enchanted in 2022 and now are hooked .
I would say if you had your first MSC experience out of Barcelona, which we did, I think your feedback would perhaps be more positive, we disliked our first UK sailing with them but knew what the problem was and ignored it.
Enjoy your next cruise wherever it may take you, ours is on Euribia 2 weeks today and I can't wait.
Edit :- We started cruising with P&O October 21, nothing is perfect with them either but we still have 3 cruises booked .
