We had never even heard of MSC until our friends said that they had a great price on a 10 day Caribbean cruise but we would have to decide within 24 hours. We did decide and signed up for the cruise, as did several of our other friends
We had done the online check-in procedure and so our registration at the terminal was quick and painless. Our luggage was handled by the off-site parking facility we had previously reserved. We were processed and allowed on the ship well in time for lunch aboard ship in the buffet/cafeteria.
The Poesia is an attractive ship with the usual assortment of public areas such as lounges, library, card room, and similar. There is also a Spa and a casino.
