Excellent first cruise experience! very happy

Ship: MSC Fantasia
Sail Date: Apr 14, 2013

This is my first cruise. It has excellent service, facility, and program. The stops are good. No motion sickness. The staff are very kind and happy. The food is good. My advices: 1) Don't buy the excursion: get your own tourguide, taxi guide 2) Don't gamble at the Casino 3) Don't pre-buy the drink coupons, it is limited and the full cost is not that much.

Ship / food

Ship: MSC Poesia
Sail Date: Apr 13, 2013

Ship one of the nicest around, well maintained, great shows. Staff didn't seem to care about service especally in the dining rooms !!!!!! Food was some of the worst I have ever had on a cruise and I've cruised more than 24 cruises. I do not like waiting up to an hour to get my diner. I would think that an Italian line would have really good pasta,, not so. not aldenty but almost not cooked at all. All in all I sent back 4 dinners Would NOT take this line again and I not the only one that I talked to !!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent food and service

Ship: MSC Poesia
Sail Date: Mar 30, 2013

dated shows and lack of adult music. Shows were "ed sullivan" acts-tumblers, etc. Should have been jazz and standards music available. Service was excellent all over the ship.

Never again, not even if it was free!

Ship: MSC Poesia
Sail Date: Mar 09, 2013

The ship was beautiful, new, well-decorated and clean. But the food in the main dining-room was terrible - picture bottled salad dressings, powdered mashed potatoes, boring, unimaginative menu, food served lukewarm. The buffet was a little better as there was always fresh fruit and salad fixings; although, the salad dressings were a dissappointment. Even my husband who likes everything was unimpressed. But even worse than that were the servers. None of them spoke or understood English, so they were basically order-takers, and unfriendly ones at that. They were all from Bali, Indonesia so the food and customs were probably all very foreign to them. But the Italian crew weren't much better, the help on the reception and accounting desk and in the stores - all very unfriendly like everybody was unhappy. Everytime we asked a question, the answer was always, 'impossible' , or 'no'. No apologies, or explanations. One girl at the reception desk merely pointed to a sign that said the ...

As Expected!

Ship: MSC Poesia
Sail Date: Mar 09, 2013

Overall a good cruise. Cabin was great, ship was clean and elegant. Buffet was excellent. Entertainment was also very good, especially the dance shows. Kids Club was great. Gym was nice. Room for improvement was in the dinning room, food was not as good as the buffet, no real beverage choices, work staff was reserved up until when they were to be reviewed by guests, lengthy disembarkation. Itinerary was fine except that the tendering in St. Thomas left no time to get to St. Johns. Happy we weren't on Carnival that week.

Had a good time BUT!

Ship: MSC Poesia
Sail Date: Mar 09, 2013

This was a very beautiful and clean ship but there was just a few little things that bothered us: There were no urinals in any Mens room! (weird) The layout in the spa/steamroom/sauna area was odd and awkward. (the mixing and crisscrossed paths of male/female, changerooms and showers was embarrassing for me) The showers were too small and not enough of them. The employees name tags were hard to read. (small print) Restrooms were poorly marked and hard to find. Stairwells were confusing. Beautiful and clean but they all looked the same. It would be easier if they distinguished front of the ship from the back with different colours or artwork also for deck level as well. The main dining room was way too crowded. the banquette seating was hard to get in and out of and made it hard for the waiters to serve food and collect dishes e...

Food has deteriorated since last year

Ship: MSC Poesia
Sail Date: Feb 23, 2013

Last year at the same time this cruise was wonderful. We were on it with the family aging from 73- 18. So this year we went with 4 couples from our neighborhood. The rooms were good but the dining room food and service left much to be desired.

Nearby stand the great pyramids and temples of their ancestors. Learn More »

George Town, Grand Cayman (5001 Reviews)

George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands, and is situated directly on Grand Cayman. Once a center of turtle fishing, the area is now a popular tourist destination. Snorkeling and diving are especially popular, and the opportunity to swim with and feed the giant, graceful stingrays should not be missed. Don't worry--it is said that no one has ever been stung.

San Juan, Puerto Rico (2093 Reviews)
