More Feedback from our customers about this ship (click for details):
Ship overall:
- Need more servers at the bars and drink serving areas.
- The decor and the fittings look very shabby and some areas of the ship need repair, like the broken seats in the theatre. Main dining room food quality was not as good as other MSC ships also. Buffet was better overall.
- We found food in restaurants could be made nicer
- 8€ for a beer seems very expensive.
- MSC Lirica is one of the smallest ships in the fleet, so everything is focused on the majority of the guest - older people and families - so for people between 20 and 30 there was not that much program except the dance lessons
- Paid for 2 days specialty dining. THere was only one specialty facility on board (sushi) which we do not consume. We did try it and opening during the day was limited to SEA DAYS.
- You have the same musicians every day when you could actually rotate and make it more interesting. It was unacceptable that when the new year came you had no entertainment and the only thing you had was a buffet! Then all of the staff were gone to celebrate....
- A very precious white blanket with the name of the baby embroidered on it went missing from the cabin and was not found. The blanket never left the room as it was used for covering the baby in her cot.
