MSC Poesia Reviews

Wonderful Cruise. We had a lovely time on MSC Poesia in this end of January and early February 2026. The Cruise was very clean, great variety of food and entertainment for all ages. We will cruise again ! Our cabin was cleaned everyday and all the Staff on board were helpful and friendly.

All staff were polite and friendly all but on board cruise booking,who were rude and un professional, passing on to colleagues so he could go.

Would definitely recommend a stay on this ship. Going in for refurbishment next week but still a very nice ship. Food very Mediterranean but good. Drinks package great would definitely recommend

Staff are brilliant and make your holiday great. The facilities were outstanding especially the theatre, food was lovely and staff were happy to help with anything you wanted or needed. Had a great time

We didn't have very high expectations when boarding as we had only paid £400 each but we were extremely impressed. We had an inside accessible cabin as imva wheelchair user. The cabin was clean, a little dated but perfect as a base. The staff were absolutely amazing, very friendly and helpful. The food in the MDR was delicious and our waiting staff were great, we went every evening which we rarely do on cruises as we often 7se the buffet. The entertainment was great and we saw a show in the theatre every night. The musicians in the lounges were all excellent. I did have a few issues with getting on and off at certain ports and MSC need to look at the accessibility of their ramps. We would definitely go back on Poesia again

A surprisingly good 7 night Northern Europe cruise out of Southampton. It wouldn’t have been such a good trip if it wasn’t for the Aurea package and the cost. The Poesia is a lovely small older ship with a certain charm and for this it scores higher for us.

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.
