What our customers say

"If you want to lose weight do this cruise. Portions in the dining room in the evening were so small that most people seemed to be resorting to two starters and two mains in order to obtain some sustenance. Entertainment timing was bizarre. If you ate at 19:30 the recommended theatre time for you was 17:15. Other cruises have a 22:00 performance which fits perfectly as an after dinner event. The one show we did see was tired, unadventurous and dated. The cast seemed to enjoy it about as much as the audience did." view more

If you want to lose weight do this cruise. Portions in the dining room in the evening were so small that most people seemed to be resorting to two starters and two mains in order to obtain some sustenance. Entertainment timing was bizarre. If you ate at 19:30 the recommended theatre time for you was 17:15. Other cruises have a 22:00 performance which fits perfectly as an after dinner event. The one show we did see was tired, unadventurous and dated. The cast seemed to enjoy it about as much as the audience did.

Group 01 Jan 2020

The MSC Splendida is a very good ship with plenty of facilities for all ages. We especially liked the13 bars of which we only managed to get round half of them. The cruise itself was very good value and the cabin was spacious and comfortable. The staff were also very good and cheerful. The ports of call were good except for Khasab which was a waste of time, a one street town with a mosque, we would have preferred an extra day in Dubai which was excellent although rather expensive for food and drink. Overall the package was excellent value for money.

couple
Couple 01 Jan 2020

Ship was very noisy. Entertainment was very poor and not of a standard expected of a premier cruise line. Food in the restaurant was mediocre, though the buffet was fine. Excursions were overpriced and there was a deliberate absence of information for those passengers who wanted to be more independent.

couple
Couple 01 Jan 2020

The ship is excellent and the staff are very helpful and willing to please. The itinerary is very good and provides a good insight to another part of the world and cultures.
