MSC to home port two ships in South Africa

[C-Dragons]

MSC has announced plans to home port two of their ships in South Africa.

I hope that X will follow suit and offer new itineraries to South Africa also.

It would be nice to have new and different locations to visit.

Hopefully but I doubt it.  The current itineraries are pretty boring.

I would also love X to send a ship to Cape Town-one of our favourite places to visit.

 

MSC could be interesting as long they are planning longer, more expensive itineraries. Some years ago they had a very old ship sailing out of Durban where they offered 3 & 4 night very cheap cruises which attracted some very questionable passengers. I remember reading reports of drunken fights and even allegations of rape onboard these sailings.

Look at Azamara, I believe they are offering South Africa in 2020.   Maybe Royal corporate is testing the market.

Azamara is there in late 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.  All good itineraries although some are sold out or close.

Yes, I saw that, but we prefer the larger X ships. 😊

that would be such a long drive from Ohio, though.
