Description

Flagship of the Lirica class, the MSC Lirica was derived from the Mistral prototype created for Festival Cruises that has since gone bankrupt. With respect to the other ships created for this company it distinguishes itself for its round external lines and for its hotel interiors which are more elegant and designed by De Jorio in the typical style of MSC Cruises.
MSC Lirica was recently elongated with a notable increase in the passenger capacity that however reduced livability on board. The original cabins are of below-average dimension. Today it is a ship that is dedicated exclusively to families and young travelers.

Lírica & IsoleGreche

I liked

Itinerario, cibo, personale, pulizia.

I didn't like

Nave piccola

Comment

Bella esperienza anche su Lirica, anche se ciò che mi ha spinto a prenotare questa crociera é stato sicuramente l’itinerario, visto che preferisco le navi più grandi. Isole greche top, non ho fatto escursioni con msc, ma sono riuscita col fai da te. Mete stupende! La nave é una delle piccoline, anche se qualche anno fa è stata letteralmente allungata (infatti ho anche trovato una nuova area bimbi sul ponte piscina). Cibo buono, anche se al buffet ho trovato meno varietà rispetto alle altre crociere (ma credo sia proprio perché la nave é più piccola in tutto). Pulizia sempre impeccabile. Animazione presente durante il giorno, un po’ meno la sera. Per chi soffre il mare non é il massimo, in quanto si percepisce subito il movimento della nave. Ho fatto lirica anche nel mediterraneo occidentale (luglio 2014)e in un giorno di navigazione, trovando mare in tempesta la nave si muoveva moltissimo! Non si riusciva a stare in piedi.

ITINERARIO SUPER

I liked

Uno degli itinerari migliori

I didn't like

Nave leggermente datata

Comment

La nave è leggermente datata e non così lussuosa rispetto alle ultime navi Msc, ma l'itinerario è uno dei migliori che abbia fatto.

Settimana autunnale nel Mediterraneo con Msc Lirica, ottimo itinerario, ottimo servizio. Lirica era ancora in grande forma, prima di allungamenti e altri peggioramenti. Buon servizio, buona tavola, ricordo una crociera molto buona.

Comment

Nave considerata piccola e vecchiotta, ma come prima esperienza decisamente validissima tutto curato e pulito, unico neo la scelta e la ressa al buffet. Considerando che mio marito e celiaco, e la nave non è attrezzata per questa patologia, non ha avuto nessun problema con il cibo servito e consigliato dal nostro cameriere.

Una piccola piacevole sorpresa.. rientrata dall'Asia e pronta per il Mediterraneo e una diversa clientela... nave ben tenuta, ben gestita... un buon itinerario estivo completa l'esperienza. Ottima l'area piscine e il Doremi Park.
