Iglu Cruise customer reviews for MSC Poesia
Brilliant ship great staff could not fault anything about the trip
Not enough staff
I don't really write reviews but I will this time. Our experience was second to none, from when I parked the car, dropped off the cases, and checked in was so simple. The staff could not do enough for us, from the ones that made up the room to the bar and restaurant staff. everyone was very helpful. We dined in Le Fontaine restaurant where Jennifer and Danson looked after us. . In the Zebra bar Julyana and her sidekick who we didn't get he's name both were fantastic. Brilliant 7 day cruise will defiantly be looking again pretty soon. thank you MSC and all you staff.
Beautiful ship. Fantastic staff. Had the best time. As a solo traveller there were meet ups with other solos, easy to make new friends.
