How does msc compare to p&o cruises.
Just looking at msc deals and we have only ever been with p&o so just wondering how it compares, food and entertainment wise.

We have been on msc seaside when it was only 3 weeks old from Miami. We loved it (apart from some rude Italians) and have been on a few cruises with other companies (celebrity, princess etc): Food wasn’t the greatest and they assigned a shared table at dinner which we weren’t keen on but apart from that service fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate to go with them again as they’re priced very competitively. Especially with balcony cabins!
Sorry just to edit, never been with p&o as never fancied an all British cruise. Sorry to all the P&O fans 😂 Edited at 02:42 PM. |

My brother in law has done both. He didn’t like P&O, too British he said! MSC he wasn’t keen on the food and hated people getting on and off at each port but said the ship was amazing (meraviglia) and he went for Xmas and new year and said the parties were amazing!

Have a look on YouTube for some vlogs of each ship.
Sean & Stef have a series on MSC Seaside and they have also been on P&O Norway and Northern Europe I also like Ben & David, they were less keen on MSC but they have a ship tour and also a playlist on P& O

Ben & David had some issues with filming on MSC so I don’t think they were as keen.
Which ship are you looking at. There is sure to be a video of it out there. |

I went with P&O in February on Iona and wasn’t impressed, it just didn’t compare with the likes of Princess, Royal Caribbean, NCL, sorry never tried MSC but would like to!

We have sailed both and I much preferred MSC, probably their excellent drink package helped! We went on the MSC Virtuosa and it stunning, food and drink were outstanding and everything about the ship we loved, the only think I felt it lacked was much in the way of entertainment. Shows were not to our tastes and there was very little live music around the ship, and what there was finished by 9.30. We have sailed several different cruise lines and our absolute favourite is Royal Caribbean.

Sailed a couple of times on MSC Divina in the Caribbean/Bermuda and the Virtuoso around the UK during covid.
Enjoyed both trips on Divina (beautiful ship). While the Virtuoso was a nice enough ship there just wasn't enough capacity in the venues for the quantity of passengers on board, even though the ship was nowhere near full. I'd only sail MSC again if the price was really good and not in Europe. I've sailed with MSC, Celebrity, Princess, Norwegian, Carnival, Royal Caribbean but I don't think I'd ever sail P&O (don't know why) . |
