There is also the MSC Yacht Club Grill which is exclusively open to Yacht Club guests. Here diners will experience a superb level of service as well as exquisitely prepared, delectable cuisine.

Entertainment is one of MSC Cruises' great specialities, and MSC Grandiosa certainly does not disappoint. A real treat for cruisers are the two, exclusive, Cirque du Soleil performances onboard, COSMOS and EXENTRICKS. Taking place twice a day, six times a week, all guests should get the opportunity to see these masterpieces. COSMOS takes guests on a breathtaking journey across the galaxy, while EXENTRICKS will delight the audience with high-spirited tricks. The shows are held in the Carousel Lounge - a perfect venue in which guests can dine on some brilliant cuisine while marvelling at the performers, and then even stay on for some dancing when the disco starts later on in the evening.

The Broadway Theatre is another venue for impressive live entertainment in the form of theatrical productions, live music and dance, and comedy acts. The TV Studio Bar is a popular choice for interactive fun where you can take part in live televised games and quizzes, have a go at karaoke, see talent contests and watch live music and comedy. Alternatively, the Casino Imperiale is always a hit for anyone who enjoys a little flutter of an evening.

Alternatively, If you prefer a quieter evening, snuggle up with loved ones watching a movie by the pool, with classic films and recent blockbusters being shown on the big screen or enjoy the company of your partner or new friends over a drink or two in one of the bars.
