rwdtgb Posted August 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We are booked on the MSC Armonia Aril 29,2019. Can anyone give us some insight on service and how gay friendly the staff might be? Thanks for your help. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcoigna Posted August 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2018 all is great - have sailed now 6 times on MSC and have 3 more cruises booked with them - never an issue - if a particular staff member is not gay, they are very gay friendly - even the captain was very entertaining....dont worry at all, you will have a great time for sure....

uawolff Posted August 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If you can take ANY other cruise line. I recommend that you do. MSC in my opinion is pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC in my opinion is pretty terrible. i have to disagree with you - it is now our fvourite cruise line - cruised 5/6 time already and have 3 more booked - however, we book the YC as it the best value at sea - if you have a little european heritage in you, you will love MSC, but if you are looking at meals under 45minutes, then perhaps not for you - again, but my opinion...\ may i ask what u disliked about MSC??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrinkly25 Posted October 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We've never had any issue with MSC at all having cruised 4 times previously with them and 5 times with NCL. MSC is great value, great fun and much better mix of different nationalities. Two cruises on Armonia booked for August 2019 and looking forward to them greatly.

MSC in my opinion is pretty terrible. MSC does have it's draw backs but it sure is cheap and has great ships.. We are booked on our 4th cruise on MSC over Christmas this year.. Personally..I have avoided NCL since a transatlantic on the Epic that I considered a ship you could not pay me to book again. To each his own I guess.

neilrr Posted November 13, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi all!! We are avid cruisers 39 for my partner and 38 for me... We did one NCL - never again - and though we have not been on MSC we have heard from friends and seen the overall poor reviews of MSC. I personally would not go on it because it is cheap. We heard the ships are beautiful, but MSC generally caters to a European crowd and food is fair to poor at best. Our favorites for the mid-priced cruise lines are Celebrity and Princess. That is as good as it gets before you take the next step to an Azamara or Oceania... There are some great deals around. I just snagged a 10 Day on Celebrity to the S. Caribbean for $889PP during Spring Break. Good Luck and Happy Cruising!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uawolff Posted November 13, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I just got off the seaview on Saturday and I was impressed. I still wouldn’t take them again. Been on MANY cruises and I would much rather have celebrity and royal. But the ship is amazing. The shows were great and the food was okay.

MSC doesn't bill themselves as a premium line - nor do they charge premium prices. I booked a transatlantic on MSC Divina, 21 days, for $1100 all-in, solo. Paid for an inside, free upgrade to a balcony +$100 OBC. It's great to have choices. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid that each for a TA on an older Royal ship and still thought it was a steal. Even if the food is just ok, I am amazed that anything is included at that price. Hope you had a great cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD@SEA Posted April 10, 2022 #16 Share Posted April 10, 2022 My partner & I first started to sail on MSC 10 years ago or so- and really enjoyed the European atmosphere & hospitality - its not for everyone - especially Americans that like going to the mall & eating at chain restaurants. I've sailed w my partner & as a solo & enjoyed each cruise - the ships have gotten bigger but for certain itins I love it. i get a midship balcony cabin & on warmer climates have breakfast delivered - I'm not a buffet person but on MSC in the carib I ate almost all my meals at the buffet & PIZZA, PIZZA PIzza...the entertainent is quite varied & the crew treated everyone w respect(as long as the the passengers were respectful). I've sailed since the 1970's on every line (except Carnivore)...MSC offers a good product at reasonable pricing...no its not SILVERSEA, etc (I'd pick a lower cabin on SILVERSEA etc over the YACHT CLUB on MSC - you are still onboard w thousands f people w MSC). One other thing I noticed - on more American focused lines the passengers sit around like abunch of rocks whil activities & music are playing...om MSC w many Europeans & S Americans onboard(oh those bathing suits) the passengers are up dancing & playing the games all the time - I just watch the fun & really enjoy the fun!!!
