MSC OPERA --GGC2006--01/28/2006--02/04/2006
wrote in message oups.com... Hi Jean very good review .We are going to try MSC when they come to NYC for year round cruises . I tell people all the time when going on Costa go with an open mind and you'll have a good time .We like trying new & diffenent cruise lines ,for the different experiences they offer . Ken G............... Great, Ken..that's the way to approach all new experiences!..You can dislike some aspects but still enjoy the cruise and its differences..Like you, to me, difference is the spice of life...I like to get away from the sameo, sameo, every so often! Glad that you enjoyed the review...Forgot to mention that the MSC Lirica was anchored at Cayo Levantado with us...We all tendered there to that beautiful island beach..We had to wear orange bracelets while the Lirica passengers wore blue ones to make sure we got tendered back to the right ship! --Jean |

O'Boyle wrote: Before I go on with my review, we went on the MSC Opera anticipating it to be an entirely different experience and came away experiencing just that. You have to go on with an open mind to really enjoy yourself and that we did. Thanks for the review Jean. Whenever anyone says you have to go with an open mind or something to that effect that sets off warning bells to me. After reading all the reviews posted so far of this cruise I get the impression that people are falling all over themselves to understate the negatives. It sounds like it is pretty much a budget cruise line that I probably would not care for. -- Charles |

You didn't get that we liked the decor? that we felt that they handled
embarkation and debarkation extremely well? that they handled large groups well? that the cabins were comfortable and well appointed? with good storage? and lighting? that fresh fruit is in all of the cabins? Those are just a few of the things that we've remarked on... I'm not sure what else you wanted to know that was or wasn't there. Marsha "Charles" wrote in message d... In article , Marsha L wrote: I would hope that those who don't have "open minds" would stay away. You're right, they won't like MSC, and if they were to cruise with the line, they would complain, and they just might make (more) things change for the worse. I didn't say people should not have open minds. What I am saying is that when people begin a review or report with those words it is a bad sign. That generaly means there was a lot of stuff wrong. I take it as a warning. Those of us who enjoyed embraced the differences, and enjoyed traveling with them because of, not in spite of them. The differences that I can glean from the reports is that it in general is that they do a great job cleaning the ship, have a very good entertainement and the rest is below average. -- Charles |

I read Jean's review and my impression was that she loved the group. I did not perceive that she is going to run out and book MSC again anytime soon. Her review of the ship after the open mind opening remarks pretty much said what the other reviews did not say. It said something! I was not impressed by that "something". -- Charles |
