Q: I’m thinking of going on this ship this summer from New York with an 11 year old and a 1 year old. We normally go with Royal Caribbean do you think we will be disappointed? Or should we try it?

A: I think you and the baby will be fine but the 11 year old would be disappointed. The pre-teen boy is Royal’s target demographic so they put a lot of their resources into that age group entertainment.

A: Hi momb65, I think the kids will have a blast! They have the activities program for small children, older & teens. Ask your MSC Concierge for specifics on how the program works, costs (if any) & enrollment. We used a similar service on Norwegian (... free) years back for my kids & they LOVED it. Not sure what it’s called on MSC. They also have a dedicated kids section, arcade, and basketball court all on Deck 16. Their ice cream parlor is only open from 11 to 5pm/unlimited ~ deck 15. All you can eat pizza is simply delicious Happy Cruisin 😎⚓️🤩❣️‼️See More

A: Their kids program is called Do Ray Mee. This ship has plenty to be doing with kids. Lots of stuff. It's a really BIG ship!
Answered by XtraviX on June 16, 2024
A: I just looked up your upcoming cruises to determine which ports your cruise will stop. Since it's Bermuda only, yes there's a beach nearby the port, but on the rocky side. There are shuttle buses that go a little further to different beaches that a... ren't as rocky. I would suggest you purchase at least a two day transportation pass for buses and ferries.See More

A: Could you specify exactly which port for a better response?
Answered by Skooby on June 1, 2024
A: Not sure what drink package you’re interested in getting. I add the “Easy Plus” & lattes have been included at no additional cost. My most recent MSC cruise was in March, unless something has changed, it should be included. Hope this helps!! Happy... cruising 😎⚓️🤩❣️‼️See More
Answered by 24MyLuckyDragon on May 30, 2024
A: I'm wrong....i read your question wrong... I think Lattes ARE free w a non alcohol drink package and probably an alcohol package.
Answered by outtoseapatty on May 30, 2024
A: But not specialty coffees like Lattes.
Answered by outtoseapatty on May 30, 2024
A: it's included at the restaurant, MDR, and at any bar.

Answer QuestionA: @ericasusie...for gratuities. The cost is $16 per day depending on what type of cruise you go on with MSC.
Answered by Skooby on May 21, 2024
A: Relating your question about the massages: Yes, there too are all tips already included in the price of the massage. However I’ve always tried to find a place and time where I could give the crew members who were very helpful and kind a tip. But you... have to be aware of the crew-overwatching personal. If they see that you give them a tip, they’ll probably take the tip away.See More
Answered by noahchicago on May 2, 2024
A: Yes, normally all tips and fees are already included in the package prize. The Crew is normally not allowed to accept your tips anyway and if you give a tip they need to give it to there supervisor. It will then be splitter to all crew.
Answered by noahchicago on May 1, 2024
A: no additional tips..they 20% service charge is built in.
Answered by outtoseapatty on May 1, 2024
A: Thank you! I appreciate all the tips! Can’t wait for June!
Answered by Bambinos on May 2, 2024
A: Thanks Noah. That’s a bummer, love to reward the people who go the extra mile! Does that mean tips are also included for massages?
Answered by Bambinos on May 1, 2024
A: I was told on the phone that are NO additionnal service charges.
Answered by Bambinos on April 27, 2024
A: You're welcome Bambinos. Just for additional information, the first group of people you come across are Port Authority personnel. The people at the line scan units work for DHS. They are looking for contraband (firearms, knives, and drugs) not snac... ks or water. The airports look for water because bombs can be made of liquid. At any given port you can walk back on the ship with snack food, water and soda for personal use. But not fresh fruit/vegetables or raw fish/meat.People who have medical needs juice/water or meds and mothers need to make milk from powdered Enjoy your cruise.See More
Answered by Skooby on April 27, 2024
A: @bambinos...at that port you can bring on water for personal use ONLY. That means going through security with one small/medium size water for personal use and snacks. Not a case of water. The people in the MSC customer service office has no idea what... the guidelines are at the ports. They can't prevent you from having water or snacks since there's none in the waiting area or they will end up with a lawsuit. Anywhere that prohibits water they're talking about CASES of water.See More
Answered by Skooby on April 27, 2024
A: Of the five lines we have been on, including MSC, the only one I know that allows you to bring on water, and at that time (2023) you could bring a case, was Royal Caribbean.
Answered by BnCTcruising on April 26, 2024
A: For personal use, (not a stockpile) it's ok. And it depends on the port actually. They don't want people bringing on cases of drinks.
Answered by Skooby on April 26, 2024
A: Per the MSC website, Non-alcoholic drinks, such as water, soda and juices, are prohibited to be brought on board either as carry- on or checked luggage on both embarkation and port days. Please feel free to confirm with MSC. Phone: 877-665-4655Webs... ite: msccruisesusa.comSee More
Answered by CruiselineAdmin on April 26, 2024
A: You CAN bring bottled water for personal use. I was told this from port security at Meraviglia and brought some through security and onboard because waiting in that crowded waiting room with no food/water was ridiculous. I always bring at least water... when I'm boarding a ship. Certain ports (Dubai and Doha) you can bring on liquor too for your MSC cabin from airport (Dubai)and port duty free (Doha)with your luggage, or with the shopping bag where you purchased it.Water doesn't need to be sealed.See More

A: Download the MSC app anytime before embarking and when you're on the ship you can communicate through that app.

We are wondering if if we can walk along the water to get to senor frogs? it looks like there is a new walkway along the water?

Q: I’ve never been on a cruise before. I don’t understand the resort for a day excursion when there’s so much to do on the cruise ship. What experiences do you get with doing a resort for the day!

A: Great question. I’ve asked myself that while being at a Resort for a Day. Staying on a ship when in port is pretty cool so unless the Resort description sounds really good, staying on your first cruise ship is a good choice. If you’re bored of the sh... ip then the Resort gives you a chance to stretch out and use a big pool, nice beach, etc. Resort food is usually not as good as the ship food.See More
Answered by willwork4cruz on January 27, 2024
A: Yes. Many times with no issues. They usually have less people going on them and are a lot cheaper (I’m talking to Royal in particular with tha).
Answered by TheVegasSphere on January 22, 2024
A: yes, and they have to wait also so they are a reliable booking engine . if you are late on getting to the ship, the ship cannot leave without you
Answered by Teamstrong on January 24, 2024
A: Depends upon what you like to do. We’ve gone on catamaran, ATV, and zip line excursions with them in St. Maarten, Cozumel, and elsewhere. All the ones we’ve been on were comparable to Carnival, MSC, and Royal excursions. I know you didn’t ask abou... t this, but we’ve also booked through resortforaday several times with no issues at all if hanging at a resort is your interest. The only time we had a problem with them is when we were in St. Kits right after Covid reopening and the resort’s casino wasn’t open though it was advertised. One email to them and they refunded half our money. So you may want to check them out too.See More

Q: Can we bring our own baby bottle warmer onto the ship? I’ve read from the MSC website that the babies club will allow you to rent baby bottle warmers to use in the cabins.
