10 Things MSC Cruises Does Differently (And Why It Matters)
These MSC cruise tips reveal 10 MSC cruise rules every first-time cruiser must know from drink packages to Wi-Fi, dinner times and cruise hidden fees. Sailing MSC for the first time? MSC does things differently than Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, and not knowing the rules can cost you money or get items flagged at embarkation. I'm Ed, and I break down 10 policies that catch first-timers — extension cords and power strips, bringing drinks onboard, port-bought alcohol holds, luggage tags for embarkation and disembarkation, why everyone at your dinner table needs the same drinks package, set dinner times vs Aurea and Seashore/Seaside flexibility, Wi-Fi device lock, and how to buy your onboard photos: plus what's changed for 2026 with Premium Extra drink packages, Browse and Browse & Stream Wi-Fi, and the $17 hotel service charge.
