Which MSC Ship Is Right For You? Think In Classes, Not Ships

Which MSC cruise ship is right for you? MSC Cruises sails six ship classes, and the class on your booking tells you more about your vacation than the ship's name ever will. This winter, four of those classes sail from US homeports: World, Meraviglia, Seaside, and Musica, which means a Miami cruiser is really choosing between four different ship designs, not twenty-three ships. I walk each class one at a time: what it was built to do, who it suits, where it sails from, and what you give up when you book it. World Class — MSC World America out of Miami, year-round seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean, every sailing stopping at Ocean Cay. Seven neighborhoods, an eleven-deck dry slide, and the Cliffhanger swing, which costs extra. Meraviglia Class — the indoor ship. MSC Meraviglia from Miami on six- and eight-night runs, MSC Grandiosa from Port Canaveral on sevens. The Galleria and its 80-meter LED dome are the whole point. Seaside Class — the outdoor ship. MSC Seaside from Miami on short Bahamas runs, MSC Seashore from Port Canaveral, MSC Seascape from Galveston on seven-night Western Caribbean. Waterfront promenade on deck 8, glass elevators outside, the Bridge of Sighs on 16. Musica Class — the small ship. MSC Poesia from Miami on ten- and eleven-night southern Caribbean itineraries. Fewer venues, no headline attractions, less than half the guests of World America.I also cover the classes you won't see from a US port this winter, and the part of the fleet the brochures never show you.Which MSC class have you sailed, and did it match what you expected?
