Is an older cruise ship still worth sailing today? In this full MSC Armonia ship tour, we explore one of MSC Cruises’ oldest and smallest ships to see how it compares to the massive modern mega-ships dominating cruising today. From the pool decks and lounges to the theater, spa, buffet, disco, and public spaces, we walk through the entire ship and talk about what makes MSC Armonia different. Yes — the ship is older. But does older also mean: easier to navigate, less crowded, more relaxing, and more focused on traditional cruising? For some travelers, that may actually be a good thing. Join us as we tour MSC Armonia and see whether this classic cruise ship still holds up in 2026. #MSCArmonia #MSCCruises #CruiseShipTour #Cruising #CruiseReview #janandtraceytravels Our Recommended Cruise Gear OREI American to European Plug Adapters—Many cruise ships are equipped with 220 European plugs, which are useless unless you have the correct adapter. These are the essentials we pack in our bags every time we cruise or travel to Europe. They come in an affordable six-pack which you can find at this link: https://amzn.to/44ixS0U Strongman Tools Strong Magnetic Hooks—A couple of these 6-pack sets of hooks are always with us when we cruise.

That’s why we always bring at least one of these inexpensive closet organizers, which gives us plenty of room for our folded clothes. We typically use a couple of magnetic hooks, as described above, to hang these from the ceiling in the corner of our room.
