Wow, I am really nervous about using this cruise line. We went on the Lirica in December and did not have any of these problems. I have to regroup for this group. I always sail RCCL in Europe.
Oh my, this may cause me to lose part of the group.

I am going on my first cruise, (MSC Musica) OMG!!! so far I have not read good things about this cruise. No turning back now, I have already booked for Sept. 12, anyone else going? Is there anyone with a good review on this cruise? Please and thank you...

There is no such thing as a bad cruise. Some are just better than others. You will have a good time if that is what you are looking for.

Thank you jmcs, that is good enough for me, I normally have a good time where ever I go.

Welcome to cruise-chat briangdg and starz
My past experience with Costa and MSC cruises is that the food is too salty for me. Of course that is my preference, but just to let you know in case you feel it necessary to ask your waiter to have the chef take it light on the salt.
I'm sure you'll have a great time, especially since this is your first cruise starz. You have nothing to compare it with yet .
Have fun, relax and enjoy.

Thanks a bunch, Sandy p for the warm welcome. I will remember the tip you gave me on the salty food too.

Do others agree with this poor rating of MSC's food? Is the lack of availability for several hours normal?

Remembering my two 12-days MSC cruises I think to a lot of things, but absolutely not to a lack of food.
So do my family and friends.
Yes, Musica and Orchestra don't supply a 24/24 free food & beverage service: but frankly we hadn't any problem.
Probably it's the cruise line policy: in the theater, e.g., there aren't tables and you're NOT ALLOWED to drink or eat anything.

Anyway I can understand people are different, and so their impressions.
In February-March 2008 were aboard Orchestra many American cruisers. The ones I talked to (35-70 y.o from Texas, Nevada, Arizona) showed their appreciation and said they'd book again.

However, I'm looking forward to check out the "American Cruising Taste" I've read about in so many posts ... Fort Lauderdale here I come !


P.S. I posted my MSC reviews in April 2007 (Musica) and March 2008 (Orchestra), but none of them is available. There aren't MSC reviews available at all ...
