Our 8-day, 7-night MSC Cruises trip was a perfect relaxing getaway. The price included cruise service fees (gratuities), but we still left a $70 tip for our cabin, mainly because the twice-daily cabin cleaning was exactly what we wanted – $10 per night as a token of our appreciation. For the 3-day shore excursions, we chose three different activities: sea excursions, beach excursions, and land excursions, maximizing our leisure experience. Each excursion cost an average of $105 plus tips. Tipping was optional, generally for the driver, guide, captain (if going on a sea excursion), and instructors (e.g., snorkeling). We observed that foreign tourists typically tipped $5-10 per person, and we tipped them accordingly as well. We didn't tip the instructor since we didn't participate in snorkeling. Finally, we'd like to thank MSC for the complimentary upgrade to a Yacht Club Suite, a wonderful surprise and unexpected experience. However, we mainly ate at the buffet restaurant, which offered a wide variety of meats, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates, with convenient and flexible options.

I booked a yacht club suite, and the room size and facilities were excellent. I was very satisfied with the butler service and dining experience. 👍 The ship has a private yacht club deck, restaurant, etc. A superb experience! 👏

On the MCS Seaview, there were two very professional and kind Chinese girls. Cindi, the manager of the reception center (who speaks Chinese), not only explained the cruise services in detail and patiently, but also did her best to help me resolve the unfair treatment I encountered at the "Green Wave Restaurant." Although she couldn't resolve it alone, she actually bought me a small gift to soothe my extremely bad mood. So much so that I don't want to go into detail about the problems I encountered with the Chinese people at the "Green Wave Restaurant," from the restaurant manager to the staff taking orders; I was so angry that I didn't eat dinner. There was also a very helpful person at the shore excursion registration department. The most impressive and enjoyable part of this ship was the music, dancing, and DJ performances in the atrium on decks 5-6 in the evenings, interacting and entertaining hundreds of guests—unforgettable. The captain was also very interesting; besides treating us to champagne, he was also a great dancer and entertainer. A wise, open-minded, and approachable captain. ---If you speak fluent English, please experience the "Seaview" cruise ship; ---If you don't speak English, the service and treatment you receive will be discounted (but your payment will not be discounted).

The combination of stunning scenery and the magic of Disney is pricey, but well worth it. I highly recommend the Alaska cruise. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous; each stop offers a different view, especially the glacier day – it was breathtakingly beautiful. Eight days and seven nights is simply not enough; there wasn't enough time. The cruise service is impeccable, and the food is excellent. The shore excursions at each port of call are incredibly fun: don't forget Donald Duck's gold rush, the White Lake train ride, bear watching, whale chasing, salmon runs, and Alaskan crab. Of course, port adventures aren't cheap. The cruise ship is generally not crowded, and the passengers are very courteous and considerate, making it very comfortable. There's no need to rush or push and shove. However, there are inevitably long queues for interactions with the characters. Although the Magic is an older ship, it's very well-maintained. If you're not too picky, there are no problems. The only issue is a constant creaking noise from the cabin when the ship is moving, making it feel like the room is about to fall apart, but it doesn't affect sleep. Overall, it was fantastic!

I booked the Alaskan cruise on the Adventure with a 50% discount. I didn't realize this when booking the room; I selected a room that already had a discount, and they didn't tell me this when I confirmed with Ctrip customer service. I only realized my mistake when the discount wasn't automatically applied. I have to commend Ctrip for their efficient handling of the situation. I cancelled the discounted room and rebooked, enjoying the discount again. However, they didn't help me with check-in and boarding pass issues. I saw in reviews that some people received their baggage tags even in China. Disney cruises are great, though; the emotional value was immense, and I had a wonderful 7 nights on board.

The window in the sea-view room was too small, and although I specifically called to discuss this when booking, it wasn't mentioned.
