Customer reviews for MSC Poesia
The ship was clean and the crew were lovely. It needs to be working in warmer temperatures as our trip up the northern coast of Europe was spoilt by bad weather. A covered pool would have been better. .
We were in cabin 12196 our cabin steward was excellent nothing was too much trouble for him cabin was spotless excellent service. Hamza our waiter was probably one of our best waiters we’ve had & we’ve cruised 18 times him & the wine waiter offered first class service & we’re also friendly & approachable. The ship itself was beautiful not as glamorous as the newer ships but has plenty of seating excellent service & great entertainment Portia in the Zebra lounge was excellent. Only disappointment was not going into Zeebrugge (Bruges) as it was meant to be rough weather but actually the rough weather didn’t happen!!! All in all though thank you MSC a very enjoyable holiday.
First time cruising with MSC, had a very enjoyable experience. Ship is not to big and gave off a welcoming and comfortable vibe. Very friendly and helpful crew. Enjoyed the entertainment we watched. Drinks package offered an extensive choice. Embarking and disembarking really well managed. Excursions were also well managed and we felt good value for money. Slight negative room cleaning not brilliant, and there seemed to be a reluctance to top up milk sugar and toilet tissue. Don't think our first time will be our last.
Lovely small(er) ship than we have recently been cruising on. Very friendly atmosphere, food good, entertainment excellent.
