I can vouch for this. We take a cruise every fall with a bunch of friends, the last 4 years with MSC, all in different cabins and some booked direct and some via TA, all with different drink packages and we have always been able to make arrangements to be at a single table or 2 adjoining tables in MDR on boarding day.

I would say it is a bit hit and miss. I have several power strips that are NOT surge protected especially for this reason. Out of 3 MSC's sailings out of Miami twice I was fine and on 1 they confiscated one of 3, but not the other 2. I am not sure if it's an issue with security staff not properly identifying the strips or just lack of training. All 3 were in the same bag too. I'm back on MSC this fall and again out of Miami. I am buying straight extension cords for this sailing.
