I consider it a perfectly acceptable risk that I am taking. Much is being done on board to keep me healthy. It could be a little more. For example, neighbors in the corridor have been isolated, and so have our cabin stewards and butlers. But that should have been communicated more openly to test ourselves every day, for example, and not only on day 6 of the trip when the crew detected the symptoms on day 2. I found the shore excursions more problematic. There were really great ones, like in Syracuse and where the guide also saw his duty and just the opposite in Taranto, where the guide did not care whether parts of her group would not come along and would therefore automatically be excluded from the re-embarkation if you follow your own rules. However, what was new for me was the prison fever of the crew, who had only been on the job for a month and were not allowed to go ashore. I have never seen it so openly that conflicts are carried out openly in front of guests, and guests are no longer in the foreground. And yet I booked again. Cruising is just too good to let go. Until October on the MSC MAGNIFICA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
