MSC (Divina) Crew Nationality/Languages

Does anyone know or have reliable resources on what the crew make-up is like on MSC ships, specifically the Divina?

I'm interested because I'd like to learn how to say to say simple greetings and phrases to the crew. I know Eastern Europe, India, and the Philippines are popular recruiting grounds for other cruise lines. Is that true for MSC as well?

Last time I was on Divina, cleaning crew was mostly Filpino, our waiter in LeMuse was Italian, our butler was from India, spa people mostly from Europe and activities people were a real mixed bag from everywhere (mostly European, Spain, France, England, Italy).

Yes, that's true. There are a good number of the crew from Bali, too and Honduras.

Here are some you might like to start with:

Balinese:

Terima kasih - thank you

Selamat pagi - good morning

Selamat sianc - good afternoon

Selamat malam - good evening

Selamat tidur - good night

Ketemu - see you later

Bulgaria

Blagodaria - thank you

Romania

Multumesc - thank you

Cu plācere - you're welcome

Hindi

Shukriya - thank you

Many crew members speak at least 3 or 4 languages. I would suggest some Italian as there are Italians at all levels on MSC.

There are apps for cell phones that are good for translations. I use those from time to time.

There are lots of different ones.
