Scuba diving

[Melandria]

Hi all.  Wondering if anyone has any insight when MSC may offer scuba diving excursions on their Caribbean cruises.    (Hubby and son are already certified padi divers, not looking for lessons) 

 

I was going to book them a scuba experience outside the cruise line but hubby says no, bc of something happens they have no obligation to wait for you.   (Not 100% sure if they would wait if something went wonky on one of their excursions, but who knows…) 

 

Does anyone know if MSC is planning to add any scuba excursions? 
 

thanks

No idea, but my experience is that scuba excursions are rapidly becoming a thing of the past on cruises.  Your husband is correct that the ship won't wait for any late self-excursions, not just scuba ones.  If the scuba provider offers dives for cruise passengers (some don't) and the port arrival time is early enough for the dives and departure is late enough to allow for a "safe" leeway, the dive operators are usually very good about getting you back to the ship in plenty of time.  Just be sure to confirm the dive shop's cancellation policy for missed port calls just in case the itinerary changes or the ship can't dock/tender.
