This was my first cruise experience. Although it was an overseas cruise and the ship was over 10 years old, it was very well maintained, with thorough cleaning throughout and no unsanitary corners in the cabin. The staff were also very welcoming. Both the main restaurant and the buffet were excellent; the former served fast and high-quality food, while the latter replenished food promptly, and I never saw an empty plate. The performances at the Kua Kua Theater were diverse, including musicals, acrobatics, stand-up comedy, and dance, and the performers were highly skilled. Overall, it's perfect for those who want a "lazy" trip, as it perfectly solved both the food and accommodation issues. The itinerary included almost daily shore excursions (only one sea day), allowing us to visit the capitals of several key Baltic states. The only drawback was the limited time at each port of call, making it less immersive for exploring different countries and major cities. Therefore, this type of cruise is ideal for those looking to visit numerous countries and major cities.

Cruise travel saves passengers the hassle of long shore excursions, making it convenient and effortless. The ship carries passengers from 64 countries, with relatively few Chinese, especially from mainland China, perhaps because they find the journey too long. The ship offers buffet breakfasts and lunches, as well as à la carte dining in the main restaurant in the evenings, showcasing the essence of Western cuisine with a wide variety of dishes, as well as some regional specialties, allowing passengers to sample delicious food from around the world every day.

Our 12-day, 11-night Baltic voyage on the MSC Magnificent has successfully concluded. The entire journey exceeded our expectations. The ship was impeccably clean and elegant, with meticulous daily grooming in the cabins. The crew was friendly, professional, and responsive. The dining options were plentiful, delicious, and diverse. The evening entertainment and onboard activities were well-organized and balanced. Sailing along the Baltic Sea, port by port, we didn't have to constantly change hotels and move our luggage, allowing us to leisurely explore the ancient cities of Northern Europe and the Baltic coast. From the facilities and services to the dining and itinerary organization, everything was commendable. It was a worry-free and unforgettable sea voyage, highly recommended! ✨

Our first cruise trip with our family of five was fantastic! First and foremost, a huge thank you to our tour guide, Li Zheng. We'd always traveled independently before, so this was our first time on a group tour. Li Zheng was incredibly kind and patient, with a vast knowledge of everything from astronomy to geography. Listening to her explain various aspects of European history was far more interesting than any history class we'd ever attended. When we met other Chinese tour guides at the hotel, they were nothing compared to her! Even my mom said she'd definitely book a tour with Li Zheng next time. The second pleasant surprise was that we were given an extra room on the cruise. We were supposed to be three people sharing a room, but when we got our tickets, we discovered one of us had a single room, so the room wasn't cramped at all. The only downside was that the beds on the cruise were quite small, which wasn't ideal for us accustomed to the large beds in Chinese dorms. The two days of land travel were quite a lot of driving; European traffic is terrible. It would have been perfect if we had done the land travel first and then gone on the ship. In short, thank you, Li Zheng! 5 stars!

The MSC Splendida is an older model, launched in the early 2000s. It used to serve routes to Japan and South Korea, but now it mainly operates in the Mediterranean. Therefore, there is Chinese signage on board. The facilities are average, the attractions are basic, the swimming pool is small, and the buffet mainly offers Western food like burgers, pizzas, and salads without any fancy dishes. The main restaurant's food is also average. The service staff are somewhat snobbish. The ship is predominantly frequented by European and American tourists, the atmosphere is pleasant, and order is well maintained; there are generally no queues for boarding and disembarking, but the elevator wait times are long. This time, I was traveling with elderly family members and mainly focused on the shore excursions. The tour leader was adequate, but the itinerary was a bit rushed. Overall, if you don't have high expectations, it's acceptable.

The ten-year-old cruise ship needed its return trip for maintenance, and overall it was in good condition. However, the shower curtains in the bathroom were really annoying; they would stick to my body every time I showered. The service and food on board were quite good, and everyone was friendly and smiling, making for a very comfortable experience. I love the tranquility of cruise ships; no need to rush, no need to worry about the hustle and bustle of the outside world—it's so relaxing!
