Back from MSC - fantastic

[JessBlu]

Back after a weeks MSC cruise, we have Disney cruised before, transatlantic and Bahamas, we loved the MSC.

We only had 1099 on a 6300 ship so it really felt like a private yacht!

Hot tubs, pools, bars all to ourselves, kids loved it.

We used to go to the back bar at night and had it all to ourselves with the bar tender giving us personal service, even making up personal cocktails named after us 👌

Loved the all inclusive vibe compared to the Disney no worrying about the bill, champagne everything Included.

Shows good but not as good as Disney.

Food and service was great, equal to Disney except the kids beds were kept up which Disney take down every night, lots of towel animals, lobster and steak night 👌👌

Overall we got a 7 day all inclusive balcony cabin, for the same price as a Disney 3 day no drinks or tips - no Brainer for us !


Going back on the 11th September

Cool - looks very good? Are you actually allowed to disembark at the ports?!

You prob had great weather to be able to use the pools...sunbathe even!

No can’t get off only on their trips.

Weather fab all week, but you can still use the pools of not they are heated or go for the hot tub extra heated !

Sounds fantastic value.

If Florida doesn't happen then off to Mexico, if that goes red beforehand then will be looking at RCCI and MSC as an alternative.

Jess, please may I ask about your experience of testing? Specifically for the kids (assuming they aren't older / vaccinated?). It's really unclear if MSC will accept the free NHS lateral flow ones.

Nice to hear... we sail out of Liverpool on the 10th August.

It’s not unclear IMO don’t let social media confuse you.

Free Lateral flow are fine as long as you have the Email / text.

Testing at port was fine, quite a rigorous “swop” then you wait in an area, by the time we had got to the waiting area the results were back.

Quite slick when we went on but there were only 1099 on.

However it changes all the time so just keep checking the MSC website.

Enjoy.

I Read all sorts before we left.

But not problem with the free post test as long as you log the result.
