Description

Fourth ship in the Musica class, the MSC Magnifica stands out from its sister ships because of the indoor swimming pool (on the bow under the smokestack). With respect to the other ships in the class it is therefore more suited for sailing in colder climates. The interior design by De Jorio, is very elegant which is in line with the tradition of MSC Cruises: the hotel areas in the public spaces are very functional. The public area that is most beautiful is certainly the theater, one of the most attractive ever built on board a cruise ship. It is the largest panamax ship in service.

Aux Bahamas avec MSC

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

L'embarquement a été rapide et sans problème. Le navire est beau, mais surtout propre et bien entretenu, et le personnel était là pour répondre à toutes les questions. La nourriture était bonne pour tous les repas, avec beaucoup d'options. Le service au bar était efficace, et les boissons étaient également bonnes. Notre cabine était très confortable et bien entretenue chaque jour. Les divertissements étaient variés avec un spectacle principal différent chaque soir, et toutes les productions étaient bien réalisées. Les zones de la piscine n'étaient jamais trop bondées et il était facile de trouver un endroit pour prendre un bain de soleil. Les destinations étaient charmantes, nous avons fait escale à Key West et à Nassau. En conclusion, une croisière sans problème, relaxante et amusante.

Una crociera Magnifica

I liked

Nave, Personale di bordo, Organizzazione, Servizi, Ristorazione, Intrattenimento.

I didn't like

Comment

Una splendida crociera di agosto nel Mediterraneo in una nave elegante perfetta per ogni tipologia di passeggero: famiglie, giovani, single e naturalmente Crocieristi. Personale di tutti i compartimenti gentilissimo, professionale e attento. Ottima la ristorazione sia nei ristoranti principali che al buffet molta attenzione alle diete speciali. In sostanza, mi aspettavo di star bene su MSC Magnifica, la nave ha superato le mie aspettative. ♥️

Auf einer Kreuzfahrt zu den Kanaren und Madeira

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Die MSC Magnifica ist kein neues und modernes Schiff wie die anderen in der MSC-Flotte, aber unsere Familie hat es geliebt. Wir hatten zwei Kabinen nahe beieinander. Alle Dienstleistungen an Bord sind gut und wir hatten insgesamt eine sehr gute Erfahrung. Das Hauptrestaurant und das Buffet waren nicht ausgezeichnet, und ich denke, sie waren vor ein paar Jahren besser. Die Reiseroute war wunderschön und gut organisiert. Von MSC organisierte Ausflüge haben wir nicht ausprobiert.

Crociera mediocre purtroppo

I liked

Buon prezzo ma...

I didn't like

Disordine, poca efficienza

Comment

Una crociera poco positiva questa su Msgnifica, fatta in un periodo di bassa stagione che anzi mi faceva pensare a maggiore attenzione e rilassatezza. Grande confusione a bordo, servizi approssimativi, poca pulizia, ristorante con servizio lento e indisciplinato, molta trascuratezza i tutti gli ambienti di bordo. Ho fatto qualche altra buona crociera con Msc, peccato che ogni tanto si abbiano navi lasciate a se stesse. Difficoltà anche all'imbarco, ma questo è in parte dovuto alla gestione portuale di Genova.

Best Cruise to End the Year

I liked

Crowded (I love crowds), Reasonable Price, Great Quality

I didn't like

Their restaurant needs to be improved upon.

Comment

For the fact that i had the opportunity to mingle with diverse people, I love this cruise! Plus, they had enough spaces to accommodate everybody, thereby not making the ship appear unnecessarily crowded. Their service and welcome is great too. Although, they need to work on their restaurant services - food!

Wunderschöne Adria Kreuzfahrt

I liked

das Schiff bietet viel Platz. Das Essen im Bedienrestaurant ist sehr gut.

I didn't like

der check in hat lange gedauert. Irgendwie chaotisch und unkoordiniert.

Comment

Wir haben uns auf dem Schiff sehr wohlgefühlt. Der check in war sehr chaotisch und unorganisiert. Die Kabine war anfangs nicht so gereinigt wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben. Nach der Reklamation an der Rezeption wurde die Kabine gründlich gereinigt. Das Essen war durchweg gut. Wir haben immer im Bedienrestaurant gefrühstückt und zu Abend gegessen. Im Buffetrestaurant haben wir nur 2 Mal gegessen. Dort war es uns viel zu voll und wuselig. Die Crew war in den meisten Fällen sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Ausschiffung zu den Landgängen war problemlos und schnell. Die Route war ein Traum und wir würden die in abgewandelter Form definitiv wieder fahren.

Crociera di Natale

I liked

Prezzo

I didn't like

Superficialità in tutto

Comment

Forse la nave si stava già preparando per il giro del mondo che sarebbe iniziato subito dopo. A bordo pochi servizi, tanta confusione, poca qualità al buffet e al ristorante. Peccato, la nave è bella e anche se ci sono più moderne varrebbe sempre la pena tenerla come si deve. Buona la pulizia di cabina ed il personale dell'ufficio escursioni che ci hanno aiutato nella scelta migliore per qualche escursione.

Buona crociera di Capodanno

I liked

Qualità

I didn't like

Qualche passeggero ineducato

Comment

La nave è piacevole, una classe che mi piace molto. La crociera, nonostante il pienone è stata organizzata molto bene. Alcuni passeggeri hanno compromesso la tranquillità a bordo, soprattutto per Capodanno, ma l'equipaggio ha fatto del suo meglio per far sentire i passeggeri a loro agio. Ristorazione buona, superiore al solito, e molta cortesia. Spero che questo standard si riservi anche al di fuori di crociere "speciali" come questa.

Magnifica di nome e di fatto, l'ultima nave di classe Musica con le piccole modifiche che la rendono unica tra cui la (piscina coperta con idromassaghi) fanno di Lei una nave perfetta. Bella, elegante, funzionale e allo stesso tempo intima sebbene le dimensioni. Scelta da MSC per il suo primo World Cruise ha tutti i requisiti per accompagnare al meglio tanti crocieristi in questa "Magnifica" crociera di quasi 4 mesi.

I didn't like

Piscina coperta troppo piccola

Comment

In generale ottima esperienza di viaggio, fatta eccezione per l’imbarco. Viaggiavo in esperienza Aurea e sia a me sia ad altri passeggeri è stato ritardato l’imbarco prioritario perché l’apposito varco era sprovvisto di personale. La seconda sera c’è stato recapitato in cabina un buono di 50 € da spendere al casino come scuse per l’accaduto.
