MSC Virtuosa

Last 7 MSC cruises went very well however this one was dissappointing mainly due to Chefs on board that were not trained to serve good Indian variety of foods.

Fantastic entertainment & friendly staff

We got a really great deal & the cruise ship was lovely. The food was nice, but being dairy intolerant I struggled at time as I didn't have must choice. The entertainment was fantastic especially the jugglers. The bar staff worked very hard & were very friendly.

MSC Virtuosa Get Hurt Experience from Cruise Staff

I joined MSC Virtuosa for the 14 nights trip of Iceland, Norway and Ireland. The night shows of the Theatre were excellent.
However, during a day of the lunch time, a waiter accidentally broke mugs and the debris of mugs hit my arm & face and got me a bit hurt of my right arm in beverage area of Marketplace. The cruise staff just reminded me going to medical centre during opening hours and no more follow-up from cruise after reporting to the reception. The care from the cruise is not good enough.
