For real? I always thought the passport was required at embarkation and upon reentering the country?[emoji23] We've even had to go through customs on board the cruise upon returning to Key West after visiting other Caribbean ports. This was despite having departed from a US port and final destination in that same US port.

You don't need a passport for the cruise.

you DO need a passport for the cruise, but most ports of call will not require you to bring your passport ashore. once aboard you can store it in the room safe

I will start by saying that the MSC Preziosa that we sailed on was a very nice ship. Clean and well maintained. The staff overall were also friendly for the most part. I had only sailed with RCL(6x's) prior to this cruise and was looking forward to a new experience and ship. I too saw the bad reviews and wrote them off....wish I hadn't. The food was as bad as people are saying, maybe worse. Horrible meat quality, over/under cooked food...sometimes dangerously under cooked. The buffet can usually save you on an RCL cruise if the dining room is bad, but the only thing the did right was pizza. Buffet also seemed to run out of food frequently, and instead of replenishing they just shut down the area while still in the middle of peak dining periods. I like pizza, but I can't live on it all week. Even things as basic as scrambled eggs were not done well. In short, we will NOT be back to MSC anytime soon. Probably try NCL, and Celebrity next. Sad about this, because MSC has what looks like a lot of cool ships coming...
