One of many MSC reviews.
Quality/Quantity - We are now loyal customers with MSC. A great and inexpensive way to travel. For almost the same price as airfare, we get to do a 16 day cruise to France! On this trip, we also visited Canada, Portugal, and Spain, but you know all that because you are following.
Anyway, this is a low cost company so I have low expectations. I still remember our first MSC cruise in 2020 from Italy to Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands, Morocco, etc. A week later COVID hit.The ship after us in Rome, Italy did not let people off; we got so lucky.
That was an eye opening cultural experience. But it helped set my expectations low.
In summary, one of my most relaxing travels. Actually, I think I got record sleep on this cruise. Also more relaxing since we have done many of the ports and cities on this itinerary already. Our goal was to really start our vacation in France.
See my excessive pictures spread out in all the MSC ports from 4/19 to 5/4/26.
Ambiance - A larger ship than I typically prefer, but with only 4k guests (out of 6k), more than enough room for me. But then again, I am easy going and have low expectations.
The food exceeded my expectations. And it did last year in MSC Japan also.
Service - Expected, you get what you pay for.
Price - Affordable.
Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1987 and your parent's success since 1970. We already booked our next cruise with your brand.
Sorry, I just noticed I never finished all my Japan Yelp reviews, including not doing the MSC Japan review. Hopefully I will have time in the future.
Our first Italy MSC experience was a 3 star experience.
Our Japan MSC was a 4 star experience. read more
