Hi did they have kettles in the cabins or have I got to send hubby up 2 decks to get me a cuppa in the morning! 😁 (only asked as when on Virtuosa in July they had kettles in the cabins for us brits).

Yes they had kettles but only coffee whitener  British tea does seam to me a mystery to the rest of the world😂 I would take our own tea bags another time as they were very weak but it depends how you like your tea.

We have never tried MSC (and avoid Southampton like the plague), but they have some amazing offers on at the moment so we are tempted. We have done 5 cruises this summer on RCI and Princess which were amazing. We are not expecting much from MSC so will we be agreeably surprised or wish we’d never bothered? 🤣

 

Is Magnifica as bad as the reviews say? Bed bugs, awful food, awful entertainment?

 

And is smoking everywhere a big problem?

 

Also, what Covid measures do they take? Do they require masks and social distancing, both of which we prefer. Are the ships packed?

 

Any info would be gratefully received 

 

Many thanks!

We were on the first sailing out of Southampton on 16/11 and had never cruised before.

I read all the bad reviews after booking and was more than a little concerned.

However it was really good. the ship was spotless and the food excellent. 

I think the reviews about the food came from non Europeans as they said it lacked flavour. 

I have just called and all sold out 😭

I was thinking of booking this one.  I’ve just searched for it using the brochure code SU035.  It says call for availability, so I suspect it must be nearly fully booked.

I have been following it for a few weeks and there was 78 of the cheapest cabins available the day before.

If you search by sailings for November it has gone

Hi all

We are new to cruising and am looking at a departure from Southampton on the 15/11/21 for 5 nights as a taster.

I went onto the Saga site tonight and it looks like it has been withdrawn from sale as I cannot see it anymore.

Is it me?
