We have been one their smaller ships the Armonia and Sinfonia, as well as the Orchestra and Divina (2).

Loved all the ships but Divina is my fav.

A larger vessel around 4200 people, but plenty of room and no waiting for meals at the bistro, plenty of areas to get food from.

Yes as 'down-unders' the European traits and manners are hard to adjust to, but you learn NOT to stand back, but barge in as they do, then all is OK.

We found the food pretty good, and they have their themed nights.

Entertainment was good, and the staff are pretty good if you treat them well, as most are Balinese, and we got on well with them because we treated them as equals and not someone to do your bidding as some Europeans and Americans expect.

Avoid Holiday seasons as kids sail for free and some can be right *******s.

Hope to sail on their new ship later this year if the prices come down a bit, 'the Sea side'. Venice to Miami. That is a nice trip ,around 22 days, if looking for a cheap relaxing holiday, look for repositioning cruises.

Off next week with Princess, should be good.

We're sailing Divina on the 22nd and we were able to reserve the Allegrissimo Adult All Inclusive. The Allegrissimo More For Less as well as The Cheers packages are also available.

Thanks Mike,

but have tried to find prices on MSC but they have no packages which include the Divina on Grand voyages which leaves on 26th to Rome.

There is no information on pricing or if you can buy more than one package IF you HAVE to buy the More for less package.

Because we booked it in USA and not NZ we cannot get any info here and the agents in USA quoted as $US 45 per person per day, which is $60 NZ and as the wife does not drink wine or beer, limits us to what we can take out.

The two persons per cabin can sometimes be a disadvantage.

Are you just doing the short Carabean leg? or continuing on to Rome?

Cheers

Sad so sad that they have to change a good package.

The algressimo package at $46 a day was dear, but took away the worry about drinks costs and helped make the trip more enjoyable.

For some reason you cannot get the Algressimo package on the Divina anymore. Why just that ship.

The 'more for less package' only allows for 18 drinks, does that mean on a 20 day cruise you have to buy several packages??? Mad.

If that is the way MSC is going, I doubt I will sail with them again.

We are Gold members and after this cruise would have been Black card members, but if that's the way they treat their Loyal customers then ....

Leaving to friday for the Divina and was wondering if they had Hair dryers in the rooms ? Thanks

Yes they do,

Back on board on the 26th April, :D looking forward to it.

No Spirits or wine, but we have been allowed soft drinks or sodas.

If you want spirits put them into a clean shampoo bottle...

hello, just wonder if anybody know if we can expect any formal or gala night on 4 days cruise with MSC?

from personal experience for 7-8 days/nights sailings there are 2 GALA and 2 Formal nights with this company. what about 4 days/nights cruise? would it be 1 formal/GALA and rest casual?

thanks in advance for the answers

Been on 4 cruises with them usually at least one formal/gala night, but not to the extreme with tuxs , most just wear a jacket and tie, that's what I like about MSC, not over the top.
