ZOE
The nature of our fast-paced world means technology is becoming both more important and more advanced. MSC Cruises have long advocated the use of the latest technology, and in keeping with this have announced the arrival of their new voice-controlled personal assistant – ZOE. This small piece of equipment is fitted in cabins on MSC Bellissima, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Virtuosa, and all future cruise ships in the fleet, and offers guests a mine of information regarding all aspects of their cruise. Simply say, ‘OK Zoe’, ask your question, and find out answers about cruise services or get guidance with booking an onboard service. ZOE is also paired up to your cabin TV and can be connected to your smartphone to enable listening to your own music or podcasts.
Gratuities
As of 2nd April 2019 MSC Cruises have changed their gratuities policy so the cost is included in the cruise fare. This means that there is no need to take the cost of tips into account when budgeting for your MSC Cruise.
Martha Stewart
Bringing guests closer to the most idyllic holiday imaginable, MSC Cruises have collaborated with beloved American homemaker, Martha Stewart. Martha has helped design some thrilling excursions, delicious onboard meals and some surprise gift packages. She says her partnership with MSC embodies the true celebratory nature of travel, exploration and discovery, offering passengers the chance to get closer to some glorious destinations in the Caribbean. Onshore experiences include tastings, cooking classes, ocean horse riding, garden tours, and lessons from local fishermen to name a few. Martha's additions are first available on MSC Seaside, and then MSC Armonia, MSC Divina, and MSC Meraviglia.
