I chose this ship to see what the MSC brand was all about. They're building more new ships and I'm extremely interested in their upcoming MSC Seaside.
BOOKING: Not an easy process online so I called the next day. The agent quoted me $900+ when online I totaled up $700. After putting me on hold, he came back and told me he was able to get that price.
EMBARKATION: This was an easy process as I had filled out all the paper work online. If you're a seasoned cruiser, you may be surprised that MSC does not connect your seapass card to a credit card during the embarkation paperwork process. You have to go to a kiosk aboard the ship and do this yourself. I hope that changes for the convenience of the guests.
