I’ve done some searching and found similar discussions, but most seem focused on MSC’s Caribbean or US sailings. I’m specifically looking at a Northern Europe cruise in September 2028 and I’m trying to decide whether paying extra for Yacht Club is actually worth it. We’ve only...

I recently sailed on MSC Seascape out of Galveston and I think it might be my last cruise for a while. Since 2023, my husband and I have done 8 cruises across Royal Caribbean and NCL, and this was our first MSC experience. We were excited to be upgraded from an Aurea balcony to...

Would like to get WiFi for my personal phone 90% of the time but will also have my work phone. Want to be able to check my work email a couple times a day. Can I use my personal phone as a hotspot for my work phone?

I’m always surprised by how negatively MSC Cruises is viewed, especially among American cruisers. The same complaints seem to come up repeatedly — people saying the food is terrible or that the service isn’t good. Honestly, it makes me wonder if we’re even sailing on the same...

Does MSC not add gratuity on the front end? I have cruised with Royal and Princess, and on both lines you can prepay your gratuity. Is this not an option on MSC?

I’m trying to prepay gratuities for two upcoming cruises with MSC Cruises, but I’ve run into a confusing issue. One of my bookings is my first Yacht Club cruise (interior cabin, but Yacht Club access). When I originally called after the gratuity price increase notice, I tried to...

I recently went on a short MSC cruise departing from the UK and honestly had a really positive experience overall. The food was good, the entertainment was excellent, and the ship itself was beautiful. It did feel a bit crowded at times, but I expected that given it was a short...

I’ll be on a 7-day cruise on MSC Seashore soon and have Yacht Club internet included. On day 3 (a sea day), I need to join a work conference call for about an hour. It will be audio only, no video. I’m wondering if the standard MSC WiFi is stable enough for voice calls, or if I...

My wife and I recently sailed on MSC Cruises aboard the ship MSC Armonia from 19 to 25 April. After a few nights in our cabin, we began waking up with multiple bite marks, which raised concerns about possible bed bugs. We reported the issue onboard and were moved to a different...

We are traveling from Canada to Italy via Frankfurt to board an MSC cruise in Bari. Both my wife and I hold dual citizenship (Canadian and Italian passports). The cruise booking was made using our Canadian passports, so my wife’s reservation is under her married name, which...

I’m posting this urgently because we are currently stuck in a difficult travel situation. It is 11pm and we have a flight tomorrow at 12pm to the Dominican Republic. Our group missed our original cruise departure, but we are now trying to fly to the Dominican Republic on Sunday...

In January, I booked a March MSC cruise and participated in a Yacht Club upgrade bidding process. I placed a bid of $1,215, which was charged to my credit card. Later, MSC informed me that my credit card had supposedly declined the charge. However, my bank confirmed the...

I am considering trying MSC Cruises but I have heard mixed feedback about extra charges and additional fees. Can someone clarify what is actually included in the base cruise fare? I have seen comments suggesting that many things are charged separately. We have mainly sailed with...

I’m sailing with MSC Cruises and planning to arrive at the terminal around 11:30am. I’ve seen mixed experiences with early boarding and luggage drop-off. On a previous cruise with NCL, I asked something similar and was told not to leave bags in the hallway because it can block...

Our sailing on the MSC Cruises ship Euribia scheduled for May 10 has just been cancelled, and we received the notification about 20 minutes ago. We’ve already submitted a request for a replacement cruise and are now waiting for confirmation. Based on what others have shared, it...

I’m currently sailing on the MSC Meraviglia and have found the overall experience to be quite disappointing, with noticeable declines in service and operations. Embarkation: Boarding at the Brooklyn terminal was extremely slow and disorganized, with wait times exceeding two...

I recently booked a cruise through the US website, and afterward booked the same cruise for my wife’s family using the European version of the site. The European booking ended up being about $300 cheaper per cabin, and the drink package was also less expensive. For context, my...

We’re sailing on May 31 and I’ve been trying to add the Browse & Stream – 3 Devices internet package. I’ve been tracking the price originally it was $474, then showed $403 with a ~15% off sale. Now there’s a 25% off sale but instead of dropping to around $355, the package is...
