60t Birthday Cruise
We went for a 60th birthday and had a terrific time. The food,entertainment,bars and crew were all excellent. The ship has none of the big ship bells and whistles,but has an old style cruise vibe which was very relaxing and refreshing. The many different nationalities on board created a great holiday atmosphere. The ship was a little rocky travelling to Madeira from the Canaries,but this was to be expected as we were in the Atlantic in winter.We had an inside cabin which was more than adequate as we really only used it for sleeping in.Embarcation and disembarkation were very smooth,from being picked up at Tenerife south airport and transferring to Santa Cruz port and returning.We didn’t book any excursions as the ship docked very centrally to all the ports we visited,so we were able to do our own thing.Madeira was great as we done the cable car and the toboggan down the hill.

Second home in the Middle East
Everything was great. I’m very excited. Best place for holiday. I recommend everyone to visit there for holidays. The ship, the cabin, the staff, the food etc EVERYTHING was great. It’s really worthy to spend your money there. I was travelling with my friend for 1 week. Every night we had unforgettable parties near the pool.The pool was small but anyway very comfortable.Every evening we had dinner in restaurant La Caravella , big thanks to our unique waiter Riski, he gave us the best service ( i mean it), very nice and friendly person. The cabin was very comfortable and clean, the housekeepers were very attentive about that. All receptionists are very cute and responsible . Also the crew were very friendly, very nice, they always care about our needs and safety, that’s why i call it my second home. Thanks MSC staff for this amazing trip.

Very good ship and crew
In May we spent a week in the Mediterranean on MSC Opera and we had a fabulous time. The ship is considered small and a bit old for the modern standards, but it was faultless! Extremely well kept, shiny clean and all the crew was amazing, hard-working people. We stayed in internal cabin on deck 9 in the middle of the ship, we felt almost no motion. Cabin was kept immaculate by our cabin steward. Food in the buffet was good and plenty, excellent burgers and pizza, not that impressed with the food in the main restaurant though. Entertainment team was great, lovely shows in the evenings. If you feel like a quiet drink in relaxed atmosphere, the piano bar is perfect. We were lucky to meet the captain there and had a little chat. Very happy with the time we had on the MSC Opera and her crew was excellent. thank you MSC Opera crew for your hard work and for an enjoyable cruise.

Relaxing and safe cruise
During 28.04.2022 I was on a cruise on the MSC ship with the name of OPERA. We were very impressed with everything there was: the staff were kind and well trained .... ARDIKA served us in the restaurant at table 516 and together with his assistant they were at the height offering us services at the highest and select level (very well trained, gentlemen, welcoming and understanding, with healthy tactics in the art services) ... The animators and they at great height with their program ... the dancers Tassia and her husband had well-prepared moments every day .. ..the fitness room is well equipped .... the food is delicious, tasty and good-looking .... they still have to work on drinks in the sense that the countries are original and not their weak ones In the evening, at the show, I consider that the band has sometimes been replaced, The Latin sugar ... they sang well but not exactly addressing the Europeans. at the theater, the artists' animators were sensational every night ... down their hats for them ..... high-altitude show ....I would repeat this experience starting today ... we were very pleased .. Congratulations to those who thought of every aspect so that tourists can be pampered AND HAVE AN UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY. I would also like to add that the information in a4 format received every day on the camera was very useful to us in this regard as well organized. We were pleased with everything we found there. Note 11 for everything :)
