penutbutterjelly Posted November 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Family all booked, I am a straggler, as I've never cruised MSC before. In doing a YouTube walk through I felt like it compared to Holland America (catering to older crowds) What music other than a violinist do they have? Any disco, Latin club/Latin music or even Caribbean music? Do they have activities during the day other than trivia, read a book or relax/swim? Is the casino all smoking or do they have non smoking section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a dj, a silent disco, a guitarist, a pianist, a band. Lots to do. I have never been bored on MSC. They have games and activities during the day, out by the pool, even on port days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackfam Posted November 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Lots of choice-, several different options for live music including a Latin trio, guitar player in the pub, piano player in the atrium and another band playing greatest hits type songs , to name just a few. Seems to be something for all tastes, you won’t be bored. Lots of daytime activities going on besides trivia, not sure about a non smoking part of the casino. They definitely allow smoking in there but I’m not a gambler so have only walked through on my way to somewhere else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sra12574 Posted November 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I'm new to MSC my wife and I have sailed on other lines and I would also like some info on the entertainment . Are there comedians onboard . Also on a facebook page I saw something about some of the shows in the main theater being shows you need to purchase tickets to attend . Do they have free nighttime shows in the main theater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Meraviglia there are two pay for shows but they are not in the Main theater. I believe they are $12pp and come with a drink if purchased before boarding. I have not seen a comedian on MSC but I might have missed it as I am not into comedians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted November 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Usually not comedians because of the international mix of passengers. American humor may not be understood by Italian, German, British guests, even without a language barrier. Ever sailed Cunard and have the British comedy go right over your head? Even speaking the same (relatively speaking) language humor does not always translate…EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our recent week long sailing, there were a few nights with two main theater shows, and one night with no show. I suspect having additional shows is dependent on number of passengers. As far as comedy, the last time I ever saw comedy on MSC was on Seaside back in 2018, when they had the Beer Improve troupe from Canada. I am using the term "comedy" lightly with the improve group. They did have two shows, a GP rated and an R rated later show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually enjoyed going to the shows on the Seashore then going to the shows in the Caberet. If there had been a full ship on the Seashore would never have been able to see a show in the Caberet every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
