MSC Armonia bar opening times and ship condition

[cjdenman]

Hi all. First time cruising over seas and we are traveling on the MSC Armonia from Venice through Greece in may. I can’t find any information on the opening times of the bars on the ship and the current condition of the ship. The msc website has a video of the ship but it looks 30 years old and am wondering if it has been refreshed since then? Reason for the bar opening times is to see whether or not it will be worth it go buy the drinks package or not. Thank you in advance 🙂

Hey cjdenman! 

 

I sailed Armonia in the USA in 2020. The ship isn't like the video, it looks a little better in real life, I had the same concerns! It's a rather small ship if you've sailed on more contemporary ships / lines but I actually quite liked that aspect of it. In essence, it's not glass and chrome but they do a good job of making it presentable for sailing. 

 

The bars were all open until midnight / 1am'ish save for the casino bar which stayed open until 2/3am.
