Excursions

[LovetheCubs]

I know everyone has their own opinion about cruise sponsored excursions. For me it’s what we feel comfortable with so not really wanting to debate it. I don’t care if I can go cheaper if we go on our own. For us it’s ship excursions so that’s what my question is regarding! In saying that we are new to MSC and the amount of available excursions for our May cruise seems very limited right now. Will there be more options as we get closer?

I'm right there with you ! I do not want to be left behind if something goes wrong in returning to the ship . But to answer your question , it's basically what you see is what you get . Very rarely do they add additional excursions .

Wait till you board to see if anything has been added.

They added some as my January cruise got closer.

We booked around August for a cruise in March 2018. There were also limited choice in excursions for a while but that has changed in the weeks leading up to the cruise. We had about an average of 7 MSC excursions to select from for each port. Two excursions to Milan were added in one port and in another, Livorno, we started with 1 and later had several more to choose from.

 

If you want to see something specific I suggest booking now rather than onboard. I've read several posts that say booking excursions for MSC in advance is less expensive than onboard. I actually thought most of the MSC excursions were reasonable considering how long the excursion was and what was included.
