My husband and I turn to one another and say," We have, on MSC!!"

Their talent for every show makes this cruise line special.
We love their food with many excellent choices that they have.

You have been on a few cruises on different lines, as have we. I take your choice to book again on MSC to be the most valuable statement about MSC's quality/value. No line is as good as its cheerleaders nor as bad as some, without a range of experience, would portray. Thank you for your post.

Thumbs down

we are just back from our cruise on the msc splendida and must say i will never cruise with msc again it was just a big let down we have never complained about anything before but i have about this cruise , i did read the reviews before we went so we went with an open mind but were very disapointed the food , entertainment , the kids club were a big let down reception staff and accounting staff need to learn some manners and the italians need to learn to queue up and stop pushing getting into the lifts and at the buffet stop passing people who have queued up and waited their turn , so my next cruise is anyother liner but will never be MSC

I have been looking out for you, when I saw your screen name on the list I smiled. HOW the heck have you both been?

AS you can see we are NOT doing MSC this year for the first time in 4 years. The only 10 day cruises are in Dec and the 1-11 is a jazz cruise and I have been to the ports too many times. For the 11-21 I did not want to fly on the 21st, although I hope nothing is going to happen( dec 21, 2012 is not a date to be flying for me and my fears....).

We re looking into sailing the following year for sure. I did not know the itinerary for the new ship is out.

Can you PLS email me with the email below and send me the info.
SO great to be "talking" to you again.
Cori

I do not understand the question.... if you were to follow that link you would see it is for PCL Star Princess cruise that has been active with a huge roll call. We have listed info for others to glean tour info from using that link.

Default Poesia - 3/30/13

We will also be traveling on this cruise on March 30. I have cruised on MSC and Carnival and found MSC to be more to my liking - none of the garish decorations and the entertainment staff was phenomenal on MSC versus Carnival where they couldn't be bothered with you.

Sincere there are already 3 of us, let's start a roll call!
