MSC Opera
MSC Opera Cruise was not value for money at all. A cruise is meant to feel seamless, relaxing, and well-coordinated; unfortunately, from the very first day, the experience felt the opposite. The queues were excessively long from embarkation onward, and this became a daily reality—especially for meals. Standing in long lines simply to eat became exhausting rather than enjoyable. The situation on the third day at Pomene Island was particularly disheartening. We only disembarked at 12:45, which meant losing most of what should have been a full island experience, yet we were expected back on the ship by 17:00. To make matters worse, we queued for nearly two hours on the island just to access food, only to find that by the time we reached the serving stations, the food had already run out. This left many guests frustrated, hungry, and feeling overlooked. Communication throughout the cruise was extremely poor. I purchased a data package days before boarding, yet I was unable to connect for almost two days because the package was not loaded onto the system. I had to move from pillar to post seeking assistance before it was finally activated. This should never happen, especially when services are paid for in advance. The food, overall, was not up to standard. Considering that this cruise attracts mostly South African guests, the menu did not resonate with the South African palate or experience at all. Juice was only available during tea and dinner—what about lunch? Even then, the quality of the juice was poor. We ate simply because we were hungry and had no alternatives, not because the food was enjoyable. Long queues were not limited to dining areas. The bars were overcrowded, making it extremely difficult to get a drink. Access to assistance was also limited, with only one information desk on Deck 5, resulting in long waiting times. Having information desks on multiple decks would significantly improve the guest experience. Some policies were also disappointing and unexpected. Being charged for ironing, while not being allowed to bring one’s own iron, felt unreasonable. Additionally, relying almost entirely on the mobile app for information creates a digital divide. Not everyone has access to a smartphone, and some guests cannot read or write. Greater consideration should be given to inclusivity and alternative ways of sharing information. Daily themes and events were not communicated properly. I packed clothes specifically for themes that were mentioned in pre-cruise emails—such as a ****tail party and an all-white party—only for these events not to take place at all. This left me feeling misled and unprepared for the actual experience. Overall, this cruise fell far short of expectations. These issues collectively created an experience that felt disorganised, exclusionary, and stressful—far from the enjoyable and memorable journey that a cruise promises to deliver. I share this feedback in the hope that it will be taken seriously and used to improve future experiences for other guests.

Very bad service ever...
Had an awful experience as the bus I booked from Bloemfontein to Pretoria delayed and I had to cancel my trip, forfeited my money and went back home. I'm sick now from the cold after waiting 2 hours. This is the worst bus service ever....Greyhound must just shut its doors for ever, because it will eventually happen soon. This is not how to run business. I will never recommend Greyhound even to my worst enemy....

Awful Service
I bought a bed online from Bradlows on the 26th of August which was not delivered according to the stipulated time frame on their website (3-10 days). I then called to lodge a complaint and asked for a refund. Was then told to send through my banking details for the refund to be processed. I was told that I will get my money within 14 days, which has passed also. To top it all off, I got a call from the delivery company recently asking for direction to my house, how absurd. This totally shows that Bradlows doesn't care about its customers and they are not even taking responsibility for their awful service. I will never buy anything from them nor recommend it to even my worst enemy.

I need my refund....
I'm utterly disgusted by Sleepmasters service. Purchased a bed online on the 27th of May which was never delivered in over a month. Then requested for a refund, but it seems I will never get it iether...I feel so scammed. I so wish people would go through these reviews before buying anything from sleepmasters ....they don't even bother to communicate with their clients. It's almost 2 months now, no bed, no refund.....
