Entertainment is fairly traditional, with music ranging from classical to jazz, as well as Vegas-style revues and Cirque du Soleil extravaganzas. While MSC ticket prices are often at bargain levels, passengers may be disconcerted by the number of “extras” that carry a price tag; for example, shuttles from port into town and room service other than breakfast. MSC Cruises cater mostly to couples and families; in Europe the ships attract European passengers. Caribbean cruises are geared to North American travelers. The “kids sail free” deals attract lots of families with youngsters during school holidays. The longer cruises that sail more exotic itineraries appeal to more mature travelers. These cruises are best for budget-conscious couples and families (children under seventeen and sharing a cabin with two adults sail free on all MSC trips), and travelers who desire a traditional cruise experience on a large resort-style ship with an Italian flair.
