I cruised MSC about 10 years ago. At that time, they brought a fresh fruit basket to your room daily. Do they still do that?

They did on our cruise in 2006 and hope they still do. Hubby really likes it.

yes they still do. I've laways had a fruit bowl in my cabin, which they replenished during the cruise depending on how much I ate. On my last one on the Lirica, my steward was really good, as he soon noticed what I liked best and started to give me more of that and less of the things that I didn't eat as much of

Thanks for the answers. I'm glad to hear that they still do the fruit baskets. I just really, really enjoyed them.

What a nice custom to have fresh fruit baskets in the cabins!

Yes, it was very very nice especially since the fruit is so nice & fresh. Here in the US the fruit we get has usually been picked weeks before it ever gets to the stores & therefore doesn't have a lot of flavor.

Same here from supermarkets, unless you buy fruit from a fruiterer or at markets.

saame here in the UK unless you go to a farmer's market or get a farmer to deliver a fruit or veggie box direct to your home.

I certainly hope so, as half our cruise is in the Caribbean. :)

We were on the Lirica on a Caribbean cruise January/February 2008 and did have a fruit basket.

Yes they do. I've always had a fruit basket every time I've sailed with MSC regardless of location or cabin category
