Thank you AmoMondo for the crossing tips!

Hello Skipper Tim,

we really enjoy your post. In one week we will board MSC Musica for the same transatlantic cruise. And your post has given us a lot of tips for preparing the trip. Thanks a lot!

I got a sensitive ear- which means I'm easy to get dizzy. Even in my last Greek cruise I need anti-sick hand band and sometimes pills to overcome dizziness. Can you tell me, was it very wavy/shaky when the ship crossing the Atlantic, and sorry to ask...is it safe? In my imagination, crossing such a big ocean is a little scary. Were there days the ship is shaking so much no one leaves the room and couldn't eat?

Thank you!

Beamafar, thanks for the reply!

I also asked the MSC service center twice about what wine is including in the basic package.

one sales reply- it's house wine. so no name to tell you

another gave me a list which wines are including-

A little confusing since one sales says house wine, another sales actually gave out a small list.

Maybe someone knows the reality?

I saw the beautiful long list of cocktail posted by Skier52

just wonder, if all MSC ships offer the same list?

We gonna board MSC Orchestra in October, and we are debating if we should take the All inclusive package...

And we are a little concerned how the wine tastes from Allegrisimo basic package. Anyone knows?

Thank you Skier52 for the list!

Hope someone knows if all ships have more less the same drink list?
