MSC Gay Friendly ?

[irishmangh]

Hi,
I am taking my first MSC cruise later this year on MSC Divina out of Venice and really looking forward to it. But can anyone tell me if they are "gay friendly" and do they hold FOD's ?

My partner and I sailed on MSC 3 years ago in the Indian Ocean and we had no problem at all !!! There were other gay couples onboard but no FOD

they did on the magnifica out of venice...fantastic cruiseline,,have sailed them 5 times and they are definately my favorite..very GAY friendly!!

The line is typical European & never had a problem....we decided not to sail the anymore because the ships got too big for our taste..

Saying that teh ship were very clean, cabins small - definetly get a balcony...tons of entertainment - food is ok but you could always find something.

Also check out the shops onboard - we bought italian driving shoes onboard.....great...wish they had more than the several pairs we bought.

Mostly Europeans onboard....and no FOD that I recall....lots of very good gelato!!!

Enjoy!!!

I was on MSC a few years ago and I loved the ship and experience.

I wonder if they don't have FOD meetings scheduled if requesting one to your CD would get them on the daily. Might be worth a try. I don't recall if they had them when I sailed the Caribbean.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I am sure I will enjoy it, FOD's or not.

I have sailed 4 times with MSC in different ships (including the newest MSC Preziosa), MSC does not have any FOD meetings, in fact MSC has the shortest list of scheduled daily activities I have seen comparing with other cruise companies like RCCL or NCL. So if your expectations are on what schedule Daily activities are on MSC be aware that day schedules are mostly limited to aerobic, dancing, quiz and bingo.
