Review summary

We had only booked 2 excursions thankfully, so at the last two ports we made our own schedules for the day. Based on my experience with the MSC Excursions, I would absolutely not recommend anyone to ever book an excursion through them. It was utterly disorganized and caused us undue amounts of stress and anxiety and loss of valuable port time.

We had ordered a drink package but it was like pulling teeth trying to have someone tell us which drinks specifically were included. It changed depending on the person which was highly frustrating.

Ship tip

Do not book excursions through the cruise line. They were EXTREMELY unorganized and didn't give a second thought about leaving you behind.

What excursions did you book? We've booked 2 on our own and 2 with MSC ( never usually book with cruise line but price wasn't much different). Had you the old classic or Deluxe drinks package?
