Ship tip

You need to be prepared for smoking in casino as makes your close smell especially if you get a smoker sitting next to you . I did not like this so only used a couple a times instead of each night on other cruise lines . Was not for me

That’s different. So if you board say in Hamburg Germany, there will be new cruisers boarding at each port to start there trip? We don’t cruise until August 2019 from Hamburg. Hopefully it’s not terribly confusing haha

A few international cruise lines have this practice and it actually works well for travellers to get the most convenient port for embarkation and debarkation. On some cruises in the Caribbean you can embark and disembark at three different ports.

Very strange practice (IMO). Is this common for MSC to have cruisers come/go at each port?
