#5 MSC Cruises Minimum Age: Six months Children’s Programs: Extensive Babysitting: Yes Tickets: http://www.cruisecompete.com/lines/msc_italian_cruises.html
Overview The ships of MSC Cruises are modern and sophisticated. The newer ones are glitzy and quite glamorous; all have a dis- tinctly Italian ambience. The ships cruise the Mediterranean in both winter and summer, attracting an international clien- tele, mostly European. The newer ships have appealing new facilities: a children’s aqua park, a big shopping mall, the longest single-rider waters- lide at sea, and an Eataly restaurant. Though life on board generally follows traditional cruise ship schedules, with fixed mealtimes and fixed table-mates, the atmosphere is relaxed. For the two formal nights each week, men are encouraged to wear tuxedos or suits and ties, while women are expected to choose either evening wear or cocktail dresses. Informal evenings call for jackets and trousers for men and casual dresses or pants outfits for women. For casual nights, just about anything goes—except shorts, which are never allowed in the dining room at dinnertime. Tank tops, bathing suits, bathrobes, etc. are not allowed in indoor restaurants. Announcements are generally made in Italian, French, Spanish, German and English. During cruises in Europe, the on- board currency is the Euro.
Policies subject to change without notice, always check with your travel agent regarding pregnancy policies and children age policies prior to booking your cruise.
