The crew were magnificent and you could not of wished for better anywhere. Especially the restaurant and bar staff who we treat has friends.

Perfect smaller ship. Lacks a speciality restruant which would be nice. Ship was not busy, so no issues at bars. Shows lacked something, but plenty of live (if repetitive) music in bars. Food was pretty good, but a little short of options if you don't eat fish and seafood.

Itinerary was the main driver of booking the cruise. It was good value for money and not too overcrowded on board.

Excellent first cruise experience. Really glad that Adam at Iglu booked for us, as we would not have known to book the better package and cabin etc

Small ship with only a couple of bars with average evening singers. The bar/coffee staff especially on deck 11 were very slow, the food was average but some of the waiting staff were lovely. Our cabin was clean and the steward did a great job.

Very good cruise. Would have liked more time in Bari. Excursion was full so we did not have enough time before sailing to get to where we wanted. Apart from that excellent

It was a lovely itinerary but quite tiring for someone of my age.By this I mean that theports of call were all hills and steps.I have to admit that I knew it as I had visited them all except Bari.where we could have done with another 2 hours.Then there was the problem with Trieste, I know it was beyond your control so I am not blaming you bot it cut down my time in Venice and made it late arriving at my accomodation where I am at present.I really only have one complaint and that is the' duck a l'orange' on the big formal night was totally inedible.I couldn't cut through it however hard I tried .Duck should be slightly undercooked but this was an unmitigated disaster.Such a shame as I was really looking forward to it.My dining companikn had the beef wellington on the same night and that was also badly overcooked.The rest of the food was fine al through the cruise but Unfortunately it's the disasters one remembers.Ending on a positive note special mention should go to my cabin steward.Bagus was an abdolute treasure I would have liked to have brought him home with me.It felt like having a really good friend looking after me always there to greet you with a smile and happy personality.Make sure you keep him people like that are hard to find these days.All in all thank you for a lovely week..

First time with MSC and a good experience. Food choice was good but limited in contrast to other ships. Bar waiter service was poor, average wait when drinks ordered via waiter was 15-20 mins and table clearance was poor compared to other cruise ships. Entertainment was very good. Cabins very good. Overall a good experience though.

3/4 star not 4 star plus as advertised. No library or bridge game Not used to paying for water. Drinks and photographs expensive Tours reasonable but often cancelled because insufficient persons to make up the minimum. Not sufficient personnel on board for guests returning to the ship. Long ques. Disorganized and bad embarkation at the start of the cruise owing to a festival in Venice. This took 3 hours Entertainment in the theatre very low standard with high volume and shrieking female singer. Ridiculous charge of ÂŁ75 to change one letter of the surname on the ticket owing to error On the plus side excellent service and food and customer relations particularly Natasha very helpful. Clean ship and well maintained. Entertainment for the masses v good. Ports of call chaotic when 7 ships descend on Mykonus or Santorini all at the same time. Not my cup of tea at all.

Very disappointed lack of information and felt really on our own. Cabin staff and dining staff very good and helpful but in other area not enough bar staff always a long wait. Hated the tiny shower with shower curtain very basic . Drinks package had a maximum price per drink could not pay additional cost had to pay total cost again quite ridiculous. Would never go in an MSC cruise bargain totally put off. There was no staff around to make you feel welcome and the level of English spoken and understood even on reception was not good enough in some cases. Had to find out everything as we went along terrible communication. Itinerary was good but not enough time in the 2 main places if interest very disappointed. On the whole a shambles and very basic not even comparable to Tui Marellla cruises which are considerably better value. Did not meet my expectations on any level.
