I have just got off the MSC World Europa, western Med cruise (Barcelona to Malta) and it was fabulous. Not a single complaint. If something didnt work in the cabin, the steward was on it immediately. Good communication between staff and passengers. The food and entertainment was fantastic. I cant wait for my next MSC cruise. I agree, the Balcony/Stateroom is the only way to go.

Thanks for your informative video. We just got back from our MSC cruise and I have to say there are many things that you mentioned that sounded very familiar - especially the lack of activities on at sea days. However, we had a phenomenal time on board. Everyone, and I do mean literally everyone, on the ship was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. Granted, I’ve never been on another cruise so, I don’t have anything to compare this cruise to, but we overall had an amazing experience and I would definitely cruise with MSC again.

MSC is an Italian cruise line so don’t expect an American experience. Announcements are in multiple languages, entertainment needs to cross language barriers so that’s an adjustment. A few Europeans I spoke to were ok with warm rather than hot food. I notice the difference from US style cruise lines and I like both. Europeans can be rude, do not queue, push in, it is what it is. I’ve just returned from a 28 night MSC cruise and it was great. People got on and off at different ports. I’ve also cruised the Med with MSC and enjoyed it. We don’t tip in Aus and NZ so MSC waived gratuities for all without fuss unless we wanted to pay. US cruise lines will do so too but it’s a drama.

You're generalising Europeans into one single group. Europe is a whole continent, and people vary massively depending on the region and the country. For example Northern Europeans in particular are generally polite and are very good in queues, much better than the Americans.

@skylineuk1485 Год назад
We have sailed a few MSC (out of a total of about 13 cruises in the last 8 years) and are on the World Europa this Friday around the Mediterranean. A couple of things to note is that MSC changes its entertainment approach depending on the expected nationalities of the guests so a UK one is more British, US more American etc so Med is very Italian focused. Also because kids travel free on MSC during children school holidays they are packed solid. MSC deals are much cheaper than elsewhere so the food won’t be Azamara etc standard or even NCL. They also have one of the cheapest drinks packages going so they are a lot cheaper all in than RCCL for example - a lot cheaper. Our last RCCL cruise was disappointing as the food standard had dropped a lot we felt.

Curious about something. Have you only ever travelled on American cruises before as that is how you come across? Oh apart from everything else I hope you realise much of American food is over sweetened and over seasoned. So I will take those comments on the food with a pinch of salt (pun intended). I will cruise but not on such a big ship. Not sure why anyone on such a big boat would think everything would be perfect.

@mmckenzie8085
@mmckenzie8085 8 месяцев назад
@@cazgreene3055 Probably. When I was younger I put too much salt on food. Very different now. If I cook for others I put less rather than more as that suits most tastes. I have salt and pepper on the table so they can always add more. In the US so much processed food is full of this corn syrup and many additives. The bread tastes like cake I have been told. Going on a European line if used to American cruise lines of course you are going to taste a difference if used to food from the US. your palate would be so used to high seasoning and sweetness. Myself I would likely not go on a US ship as food is a big part of it and I doubt to my taste. I might live on salads, not a bad thing as I love a decent salad, as long as could add my own seasoning. I see some of the food on videos and I get sugar overload just watching 😆

We loved our cruise on MSC, cause we like the differences! Everything you experienced on this cruise, could have happened on any other cruiseline! When you put your vaction into someone's hands you gota expect things may not go your way, or the way you desire! MSC should have appologized for the comments about leaving you, but then you should have gone to customer service immediately to get it! The ships clearance upon entering port to let passengers off is up to the port, not the ship, but they should have told you there were delays! The reason the MSC cruises in America are different than the MSC cruises in the Med is because you're getting a different experience! All the Med cruises are mostly the same, cause all the companies in the Med are taking care of mostly European cruisers who expect things differently than American cruisers!

We have been on 7 MSC cruises (Caribbean/Mexico) and really enjoyed them all. The thermal spa on Seaside was fabulous. When we went their prices were just so much more affordable than other cruise lines that it was a no-brainer. The delay with getting off at ports may not have been their fault. They can't let anyone off until they are cleared by the port authority there. This was communicated to us when we sailed with them. But the fact that the time was wrong on the app was a huge mistake on their part. Yikes!

[1] While I understand your sentiments about this cruise-experience (e.g., when you realised that the ship was about to leave you behind when you were the last ones back to the ship), I think that the bigger lesson is to be better prepared and to ask about things even before you reach the ship. E.g., research ports of call and logistics and make extra provision for delays and contingencies (e.g., aim to be back on the ship at least ONE HOUR before sailing time) and never leave the really important details to doubt; ask BEFORE you leave the ship. . . .

The blandness and the unsweetened tastes were probably due to the additives, colourings, corn syrups, glucose-fructose syrup, dextrose ect added to food in the US. In pretty much all of Europe most of these things are not added, especially on cruise ship foods. You went on a family, Mediterranean, up all night, European cruise, where kids go everywhere with their parents, where bedtime is anytime and dinner is late. It's good to experience different cultures but nice to get home. A cruise excursion bus will always be waited on when you return, late or not, you won't be left behind😅 Good practice to carry your ID with you on holiday, especially going on and off a cruise ship. It's good to research and read everything you can. The staff will be used to every situation as it will have happened to others before. New follower here👋

We JUST got off the Grandiosa! Our experience was similar to yours… Terrible communication, emails, apps and receipts all contradicting each other before we left. We had the Aurea experience, which saved our vacation. We had a private sun deck and choose when we ate. Our trip was about taking our teenage boys travelling that wouldn’t kill me with logistics. The cruise served that purpose! I don’t think I’d take another cruise, we are not cruisers. A great summary of the MSC experience.

@brentshuffler1234
@brentshuffler1234 9 месяцев назад
[4] My main tip about these various activities and spaces on the cruiseship is to be observant about the particular rhythm of the cruise-ship/cruise-line/itinerary/region/profile of passengers for any cruise that you experience. E.g., you were on an Italian cruise-ship/cruiseline with a majority of Mediterranean passengers. Therefore, you could be prepared for the busiest times to be late at nights and the later reservation-times for everything, including breakfast. I would anticipate, for example, that (as you proved with your early morning one day, when you were the only ones in the lounge preparing to disembark the ship for a 7 a.m. docking) you would have the fewest people in the buffet-deck or the dining room when they first open for a particular meal-service. In other words, the secret to a better experience is not just being better prepared for, and more knowledgeable about, what you do and where you go, but also being better informed about WHEN to go to places on the ship (or ashore) and when is BEST to do certain activities (e.g. gyms are usually quietest early morning/sunrise, when most people are sleeping . . . and sunset/before dinner, when most people are in their rooms preparing for dinner and when early-sitting guests are already having dinner).

Took MSC on a Mediterranean cruise in 2019 and couldn't be happier. I was on the Seaview which departed from Barcelona. With ports at Ajaccio, Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia, Cannes, Palma de Mallorca and returning to Barcelona. Did all my own excursions. They had embarkation times clearly posted with signs when you departed ship. They also put the daily calendar in your room so you knew exactly what was going on that day. I also used the app. There was never a day when I didn't know exactly when I had to be back on the ship. I took a train from Cannes to Monte Carlo and on my return to Cannes I didn't cut it close. Even had a little time to walk around Cannes when I returned. I went to Milan from Genoa. To Florence from La Spezia and Rome from Civitavecchia. Always a bit of gamble when taking trains on your own excursions but train service is very reliable in Europe. They always stress to you that they won't wait. It comes down to how many people are running behind. And if you take the ship sponsored excursions they will never leave without you because they are responsible. MSC was very good as far as disembarkations at the ports on time. Got off the ship rather quickly. I don't believe they offer a cruise anymore with all those specific ports but I could be wrong. To be able to see Milan, Florence, Cannes, Monte Carlo and Rome on one cruise is pretty good. It was my second time in Barcelona, Florence and Rome.

I cruised with MSC twice. I enjoyed it, especially the first one with Meraviglia. Besides the incidence with the app time, the other little inconveniences, they wouldn't have bothered me too much, almost at all. But I liked the fact that you two presented very detailed the pros and the cons, but I would never say: don't ever cruise with MSC, because it's not fair. I cruised also with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, but MSC Meraviglia was one of the best ones, in my opinion. 😊 Can't wait to see where you'll cruise in the future!

A great video! Thanks. We took an MSC cruise about 16 years ago, on the Musica, from Barcelona, return, for 10 nights. It was a New Year’s cruise that docked in Malaga, where my brother lived and the itinerary was chosen for that purpose. There were 1200 Italian, 800 German, a few French, Russian and 50 English-speaking passengers. The ship was beautiful, the itinerary fabulous, and the cruise horrendous. The crew was lovely (except for the concierge desk) and incredibly unhappy. Many jumped ship at the end of the cruise, including the assistant cruise director! We had to surrender our passports, unexpectedly, at the beginning of the cruise - a minion threw ours into an open drawer at the front desk, no receipt. I wondered if we would ever see them again. We were made to feel like reprobates for asking for wash clothes (“You Americans are ALWAYS asking for washclothes”, we Canadians were told.). The food was forgettable, but our fellow passengers beyond rude, butting into the buffet lines, stealing chairs, yelling, even taking our bus seats between stops on excursions after moving our stuff to less desirable seats. We were befriended by the senior American Armed Forces personnel spending the holidays with their families, and they were wonderful. The New Year’s party, spent anchored in the Bay of Gibraltar, was a drunk fest on the main deck. The next morning, we witnessed the crew shovelling hundreds of broken glasses into the sea. The butting-in in the buffet lines was so out of control, one of our American friends discovered that, if he put his breakfast or lunch knife under his plate with the blade exposed, he could actually make it through the line relatively unimpeded. Communication was terrible. English speakers were treated with contempt by the entertainment crew. We were put on shore excursions with French, German and assorted speakers, but we all felt our “talks” were given short shrift. It became something of a joke. Luckily, we are experienced cruisers, and educate ourselves before embarking, so knew what to expect - except for the camel ride on Arrecife…Then, at the end of the cruise, as I supected, we were asked for the “receipt” we were NOT given before we could retrieve our passports. That did not go over well. It seems from your video, things have not much improved. Of our 30+ cruises, pre-COVID, our experience on MSC was surpassed for awfulness by only one, on Seabourn. Those are two cruise lines, on quite different spots on the spectrum, we recommend avoiding.

I agree 100 per cent with you. Few Americans and few English speaking cruisers. Msc is nàsty. Pushing,screaming, yelling people. The Italians were worse. Just awful. I have a cane and was pushed aside when elevator door opened. Could wait 1 minute. At the buffet. Pushing, shoving,line cutting. When carrying my tray, people walked so close to me that I thought I was going to drop. I finally used my cane as revenge. Try to push me aside, I put my cane out to trip. I left cruise after 3 days..9 day cruise. I had enough.i am a retired flight attendant and I've had enough of bs when flying, I don't need it now. No more msc

@@barbaracameron5610 We were seated at dinner between a French couple and German family with two daughters, about 9 and 11. Our 15-year-old daughter was with us. In conversation with our French co-passengers, they indicated their dissatisfaction with the cruise in similar terms as ours. On the other side, silence, even amongst family members. The daughters were seated beside us. Thet seemed fascinated by us, maybe because we were engaged with each other. Our daughter started performing little tricks for them, like flipping a coin, and balancing a spoon on her nose. I showed them I could turn my fingers into a galloping horse. My husband could make a coin disappear. Not a word was spoken, but the little girls were delighted. The next evening, their parents were seated beside us, intentionally keeping their children away from our intemperate (?) influence. In contrast, the Italian children were running rampant through the restaurant at 9:00 pm, tripping the waiters, screaming and fighting. And Europeans think North Americans are uncouth!

Thank you for posting your MSC experience. We are looking at MSC and have a few questions. 1) It looks like you were the only passengers who almost missed the ship. Were there additional passengers, who depended on the app, to arrive late as well? 2) Did the late gangway deployment happen multiple times or just once? 3) Regarding your ballet shoes, we like to travel very lightly as well. Did MSC specifically require "closed toed sneakers" or were you hoping they would let you participate in the activity with ballet shoes that did not fall off your feet? Any information you could provide will be very much appreciated. Thank you and safe travels.

We've taken 4 msc cruises out of Miami & swore we'd never ever use anyone EXCEPT MSC because our 4 separate 7 night cruises were absolutely fabulous! I'm wondering if the different is just country of origin. I've traveled all over the world & know the different standards expected make difference. We're taking our 1st Norwegian out of Miami in 2 weeks & nervous we won't like it. And honestly the ONLY reason we're not using msc is because Norwegian was free for us so we figured why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I'd say give them a shot stateside & you'll be pleased. As far as the balcony is concerned, I never have & never will cruise without one. It's a total game changer! We always order a bottle of bubbly for embarkation day & drink it as the ship leaves port on the balcony before getting ready for dinner. What other cruise lines have yall tried to compare to msc? We've loved them so much I refuse to spend money on another in fear we won't like it as much. But sounds like the Mediterranean idea on msc might not be as good. I do know, most countries I've been, I've found they aren't as friendly as us Tennessee folks. I always know half the ship by the end of the cruise😂😂😂

We felt the food in the main dining was just okay, I did enjoy the buffet but it was extremely busy! Also, I could barely use my drink package because it was nearly impossible to get anyone to serve us because of so many people in the bar area!! The shower area was extremely small. I couldn't even pick up any item that fell as i could not bend over. In the cabin, there was trash inside the trash can on my first day and i wondered if other things that i can't tell, had not been cleaned. Some of the workers were rude. I felt a little PTSD also. I won't do it again either!

We are with you on this, took a caribbean cruise with MSC back when they first started sailing out of FL, think it was around 2015, got a killer deal on an 8 day cruise with a balcony upgrade and it was the first cruise we did not enjoy. ship was too crowded, food was bland, service was good though. Even though with a big discount we decided that our first MSC cruise, would also be our last, we will stick with Princess, we like them much better. One difference with us is that we determined that the balcony was a waste, spent almost no time out on it, if offered a free upgrade on cruises in the future we would take one, but we would not actually pay extra to have a balcony.

[2] I also think that it was a big mistake to go off by yourselves in places/ports/countries that you had never visited and in languages that you did not speak. Bottom line: expect things to go wrong (be it airlines, cruiselines, taxis, trains, buses, etc.) and use official excursions of the cruiseline. That latter tip is the only assurance that any passenger has of not being left behind if something goes wrong. Furthermore, it ensures that you are accompanied by persons who know the language(s), the place(s), the route(s), and have constant communication links to the cruiseship and local agents for any emergencies.

Great Video :) I have cruised MSC 6 times and overall enjoy them (few main dining room options hit or miss). The all aboard time on the app is wrong and definitely a bad issue for MSC to not update it and the staff being rude about it is not good at all (although sometimes europeans are very direct and don't mean to be as rude as they come off), but as far as the schedule being 30/45 minutes off in the morning this issue is usually not always controllable and not always the fault on the cruise line as sometimes the port its docking in does not always give the go ahead to allow passengers off at the time indicated, or the ship arrived later than expected so getting things organised to get everyone off can be more difficult, this issue usually occurs a lot more in europe than in the carribean, although it can be annoying if you have an excursion or flight booked it happens on many cruise lines (or at least in my experience I have had it on NCL too) not just MSC. Hopefully it didn't ruin the cruise too much for you guys!!

First time watching your videos and it was so well edited. I love the maps! You both were very entertaining and I enjoyed the quick synopsis of each of your port stops. My one issue is after you were almost left behind through no fault of your own, everything else was seen so negatively. Even the fact they wouldn’t let Natalie do the ropes course although it was obviously not MSC fault she didn’t have the right footwear. I understand the emotional turmoil, I’ve cruised plenty and had some close calls almost being left behind (in Naples port coming from the Amalfi coast). I can even understand not particularly liking the fact the announcements were in multiple languages (although most ppl that do research know this in the first 5 min), the fact the food was sub par, and the up selling (which is also very common knowledge). But after your PTSD moment, I believe you both checked out IMO.

I agree 100% and came here to say just that. This is the first video of theirs I've watched - everything seemed to be going along just fine until almost getting left behind (of no fault of theirs) but afterwards a lot seemed negative. Up-selling is a common situation on all cruises, not real sure how that can cause them PTSD, especially if they've been on other cruises. I also agree that they shouldn't have gotten upset because they were not allowed to do the rope climbing while she was wearing ballet shoes. 😮🤦🏼‍♀️ They never really complained about the food until after their near miss of getting left behind as well - then, almost every meal seemed less than desirable.

We almost had a disastrous vacation due to MSC's communication problems. I spent one whole day at sea, that was suppose to be restful, trying to get permission to disembark at Mykonos as they told us, when I called before we departed, that we could. We had to go to Immigration in Mykonos to get things straightened out. VERY STRESSFUL! I was only out a few hundred dollars on a hotel and a ferry that I had to cancel, but it was almost thousand dollars. The balcony was good, while the food was very lacking flavor and substance. No more cruising for us. Keep up your good work. I am enjoying following you guys. 🙃

Took our first cruise on MSC and it was chaos from start to finish . Thousands of people lined up to get off on one gangway, while the other gangway was functional but closed, it felt like we were cattle. The food was below pare , and charging for water in the dining room was just petty. The staff were often just so rude when asking questions of them.. I also found that they lacked organization

Thanks so much for your excellent videos. I am from Texas & have been on almost 50 cruses but never sailed with MSC. Now I am thankful I did not waste my money on a sub par cruise line! Can't wait to watch your in-depth city cruises videos you mentioned! God bless you both for sharing your experiences!

I had a fabulous cruise with MSC. If you notice above someone else commented that she just finished an MSC cruise and everything was fabulous.

You don’t take other people’s experiences to make a decision, you should try it yourself, look at the other comments from viewers they loved their experience with MSC - don’t just be a follower or a sheep experience it yourself first hand

I gotta say, the balcony is good if you want special time with your loved one. But sitting in the hot tub with a drink and seeing the amazing view of the ocean was definitely much more fun!

This was so fun to watch, thank you! Although I’m sorry you were treated that way with them almost leaving you behind…that is my worst nightmare when we cruise, I super stress about getting back to the ship on time at ports. I think you guys were fair in your rating and you didn’t discount the entire cruise line. Who knows, maybe the Caribbean one would be great! Language barriers definitely impact a lot. I’ve cruise Royal about 6 times, but have taken a Carnival (never again) and a Disney about 15 years ago. It’s funny you mentioned music at the pool deck, I highly recommend looking into an 80’s Cruise, usually it’s a Royal ship that is commissioned and their staff is always amazing. They even do Star Trek cruises, lol, so you know the Royal staff gets to see the best of everything 😂. You get concerts literally every day, the food is stellar, and the ships are fun - lots to do and concerts at the pool all day long. I know you guys are young but 80’s doesn’t suck lol…anyway, I appreciate your channel and I love your style, Nat! Thank you for everything you guys do!
