MSC Armonia - Tips

Buy the drinks package or sneak liquor on board. Buy water at every port. The free vending water taste horrible and water at dinner is 3 Euros

Buy drink and water packages . Be aware of the Italian themed entertainment. The evening shows were 30-45 minutes long and you had to prebook everyday for your time slot.

The drinks packages weren't worth it for us so I recommend you to calculate (in average) how many drinks you will have and if it'll be alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.

I would never recommend this cruise unless you are above the age of 70 and don't like socializing with people and don't care about food. I would recommend any other ship over MSC in future, especially Carnival and Royal Carribbean.

Buy drinks package. Excursions are expensive so choose carefully!

great

Do it everything, walk, eat, take photos, drink, talk with the crew...

Go to the main restaurant for breakfast and lunch. It is less crowded .

Don't sail on this ship it needs to retire!!!

Done sail on the Armonia. We were told by some staff members that they don’t get any training. ☹️

Sail it only for the ports, not the ship

About 80-85% of the passengers do not speak, or speak very little, English. Socially, you feel like a bit of an outcast. Certainly not the fault of anyone on the ship - -they are all very nice - - but culturally, it is very different than being on a Carnival/Royal/Norwegian ship.

Try it. There are a lot of multinational people on board as guests and it was pleasurable to meet people from so many places

To go and enjoy

Get ready for amazing service!!

Choose another cruise line all together. MSC is not a normal Caribbean ship for regular cruisers or first time. I have sailed with several different companies to know difference

If you’re planning on shopping wait to last day

Just don’t sail on Armonia, pay extra to enjoy it. Not worth it for me. Never again.

Be open to know that this ship is european.

Do it
