Check In Process is Horrible
I hope your cruises are better than your app, because I have been trying for literally over a month to check in for our upcoming cruise on your app, and each time we try to use the photo feature for our daughter, it always freezes. Terrible experience.
★★★★ bmijos 5/13/2026 v5.4.9
TERRRIBLE APP
HIRE CARNIVALS DEVELOPERS. USER INTERFACE IS HORRIBLE.
★★★★ New cruise try 5/12/2026 v5.4.9
Excursions
Disappointment with no help technical issues I would probably not go on this cruise line again, very disappointed in their ability to take care of their customers. I would probably shop at another cruise line and don’t even bother to waste your time on this one.
★★★★ Shonta N 5/10/2026 v5.4.9
MSC App
Does not work properly on my phone
★★★★ RobinInOhio123 4/25/2026 v5.4.8
Worthless before cruise
I have sailed with MSC many times. I have Yet to get the MSC FOR ME app to work prior to being onboard.
It is frustrating.
They need to fix this issue.
★★★★ DeLombardi 4/23/2026 v5.4.8

The app never works for me. I did 4 cruises with MSC and never got to use the app, because it always say: something went wrong.

Aplicativo não encontra minha reserva
Estou há mais de um mês tentando logar no aplicativo, com a conta criada ou com o número da reserva e sem sucesso.

Not Working on New iPad
App not working on a new iPad, but works on iPhone!
★★★★ Jasa_0503 3/20/2026 v5.4.6
WORST CRUISE EVER!!
Book the cruise directly from MSC by phone and got a handicap room (not needed) when I specifically asked for a room close to the elevator (we were far away from the elevator). the rooms are very dirty specially the carpet. My husband and I have sensitive skin and we developed a horrible rash throughout our trip. Unfortunately the food was nasty. This is our 3rd time cruising with MSC and most likely wil be the last.
★★★★ gdfhbcfhjjb 3/12/2026 v5.4.6
Buggy with bad error messages
The app asks me to fill in details it should already know from my booking number, then gives the unhelpful error message “Failed”. Won’t take my credit card info “failed”. Won’t take the apostrophe in my name. “Failed”
So I give the app 1 star, “failed”.
★★★★ Kbaeri 3/8/2026 v5.4.6
Incomplete and difficult to navigate
Compared to Carnival, this is very subpar. Complicated, layered menus. Redundant navigation items.
Can’t find meal schedules for future days for example.
★★★★ fenixfire077 2/26/2026 v5.4.5
App needs attention
This app needs a lot of attention. I’m on a cruise now. I enter the booking number and it gives me this message “Something went wrong
We're sorry, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The booking number you provided is already linked. Please click on the cruise in the list to access it.” Okay, so the booking number is linked. The app doesn’t offer me anything aside from continuing to attempt to link the booking number.
★★★★ TGFrank 2/20/2026 v5.4.5
Won’t open
It will not accept my booking number and I have no way to get help?
★★★★ irate3 2/16/2026 v5.4.5

★★★★ Nightmare cruise 2/2/2026 v5.4.5
App is terrible
This app is the worst cruise app I have ever used. It is very unstable and work one out of ten times. Can’t book shows or
Any other activities.
★★★★ Seashore food worst 1/19/2026 v5.4.4
Food
Worst food I’ve ever had on a cruise. Quality poor and I can cook better , and that’s not saying much . Service and entertainment excellent. Actually service best I’ve ever had. Praise your staff!
★★★★ Turnover Lover 1/17/2026 v5.4.4
Won’t Take my Photo
I repeatedly tried to take the mandatory “selfie” to check in for my cruise, but the application won’t take a photo whatsoever.
