Most household in the UK are singleton. I imagine the trend is in this direction for much of the wealthy World. Why would I choose to share a toilet, shower and bedroom with someone when on a 'luxury' holiday?

 

If they had any sense, MSC would be designing-in solo cabins on the new builds to meet this demand.

The problem is that a single requires pretty much the same amount of room as a couple.

Hence the single supplement.

In fact if you want to get narky, a single offers half the add-on and gambling revenue of a couple. Better than nothing in a cabin, but worse than a couple...

(and half the opportunity to sell excursions to)

Bugger that doesn't sound remotely pleasant, and definitely echoes some of what I have heard on here.

If your cruise goes well it goes well, but if things go a little sour MSC customer service leaves much to be desired. (as everything has to go through head office)

Hopefully my cruise with them goes smoothly, or I will surely be letting you guys all know my opinion, if I have to deal with the same as the OP.

G'day all,

I have just seen a TV show pop up around the place called "Dream Cruises"

I hadn't seen it before and wanted to make people aware who are looking for more info on cruising, especially on MSC as they feature MSC ships in about 5 episodes.

I have yet to watch the show, but more info can't be bad.

Hi guys,

I just paid $2700 AUD for 2 people for the middle level balcony cabin, for the cruise 25 night La Romana -> Venice.

Pretty cheap!!
