Entertainment
If one thing’s for sure on MSC Preziosa, it’s that you’ll never find yourself short of entertainment. Kick off the fun with a Sailaway Party led by the onboard dance troupe. Carry on by attending one of the Broadway-style shows at the Platinum Theatre or catching a movie 4D style at the ship’s immersive cinema experience.
While on holiday you may as well try your luck at a game of blackjack or Texas Hold’em at the Millenium Star Casino, but if you decide to cut your losses and look elsewhere for entertainment, regular performances from swing bands and string quartets are a tuneful way to wind down your evening.
Things to do
Spa and fitness
Once you've indulged your taste buds, move on to your body. The MSC Aurea Spa mingles soul-soothing Balinese massage with tranquilizing water treatments derived from ancient Roman practice, and the result is divine. Plus, enjoy full access to the saunas, Turkish bath, massage room, whirlpool, solarium, thalassotherapy, and relaxation room.
Recreation
Children can sometimes be hard to keep occupied on holiday, but this won’t be a problem onboard MSC Preziosa. There’s hours of fun on offer at the Doromi Castle aqua park, complete with one of the longest waterslides at sea. For teenagers looking to spend a bit of time away from their parents, there’s a special adult-free zone including a disco and arcade. Elsewhere on the ship the magical infinity pool and whirlpools are a laid-back place to find some peace and quiet. Alternatively, step up your retail therapy with a private shopping experience where you could even choose to have a private jewellery viewing in your very own suite.

Iglu Cruise customer reviews for MSC Preziosa
Ship itself was very good. Main complaint would be the service at the bars and the small food portions in the main dining room
Most of the crew were lovely, we felt looked after and comfortable on the ship. We had a nice holiday and enjoyed some of the entertainment. We had never been on a cruise where passengers embarked and disembarked at each port so that was different to what we expected. The only issue we had with this was the safety drills at each port where we had to listen to the drill announcements even when we had been on for a while and were unable to access the services at this time (which coincided with when we returned from some excursions). The food options at the main restaurant wasn’t very good for us. Being vegetarian there was often only one option that didn’t sound appealing to us. There is an always available menu which was better for us, but this wasn’t actually available on any themed nights (e. g gala night, Mediterranean night and the Easter menu). The shows were okay with good music and dancing, but not the same level as some other ships we’ve been on.
value for money for a family of 4. Most of the cruise staffs are friendly and professional. My children love it.
Love it and my foom woman was the best her name is happiness
