MSC does things VERY different from other cruise lines. I am on a 14 day cruise out of Barbados March 5, 2024. It picks up and lets off passengers in Guadeloupe and then in Martinique twice during the 14 day cruise. (We stop at those places 7 days apart). Those who embark in Barbados are on a 14 day, cruise the rest are on a 7 day cruises. I do not know how they keep track of it all.
