MSC Melody Reviews

I was on board the MSC Melody for the transatlantic cruise from Brazil to Italy on 13th – 27th Mar 2010. I found the staff very friendly and the cabins were a good size and very clean. I, being a single traveller and a pensioner, expected a small cabin, but I had a very comfortable double bed. There was a great variety of workshops, exercises and games. The time passed so quickly. We had an initiation ceremony as we crossed the meridian, great fun and games. A choice of restaurants for breakfast & lunch, and a 7 course evening meal. The entertainment was varied and excellent. The whole ship was very clean. Unfortunately not all the passengers found using the hand dispenser a necessity, but not the crews fault. MSC for me, I'll be back for the next transatlantic. Cabin 6009.

In Barcelonia first impression the ship was very clean when we boarded her crew was plesant curtious towards us .we were shown to our cabin and then we toured the ship to find out where things were pools . outer decks ect we were told a fire drill was at 1500 all to attend wearing your life jacket at first a bit of a shambles people just carrying them then things were sorted as soon as an officer arrived and took over the rest of the cruise went just right for us the crew were briliant IE. the cabin crew the waiters couldnt do enough for you then are mostly from other countries not europians some have been on board for past 8 months plus but still a smile on thier faces being our first cruise we dont know any better but we did have a good time but we think that ther should be coffee/tea makings in all rooms so any time of day you can have a cuppa with out having to pay for it and have the waiter /waitress carry it to you diffrent on deck / at the pools /lounges you have this in most hotel rooms all over the world.

We cruised from Durban to Cairo (18 days) and can really recommend this ship. The food was plentiful and delicious, the staff obliging and the ship was clean. Cruising through the Suez Canal was breathtaking. We can't wait to do this trip again.
