this cruise line does not supply basic amenities

Ship tip

Bring you own tissues, shampoo and you must request wash cloths. Also, this cruise line caters to Europeans so if you want to have english speaking people at your table, tell them in advance.

Bilk there customers out out what at ocean cay? I was there last week. Only thing you have to buy was icecream and coffee, and of course souvenirs. Unless you wanted to ride a jetski. Island was beautiful, food and drink was included.

Which level did you book? MSC is different from other mainstream lines that many are used to. They have basic levels plus the Yacht Club. These range from bare minimum to all-inclusive. It seems that those that are not satisfied purchase the cheapest option, then are disappointed when they don’t get the top level experience. Those that do their research, and understand what they are getting, seem to be happy with MSC.
