We are booked on this cruise but for the 2016 sailing. I am also a little worried about the unrest in that part of the world but also very excited!

That sounds excellent! We are looking into a tour package of China that includes a 4 night Yangtze Cruise. I had a question about onboard purchases is it with your room card as with major cruise lines. What is included? And in our tour description it states that tipping onboard is extra. How did this work?

Thank you!

Thank you for this compilation.

No problem :)

A 15% service gratuity is automatically added to each drink or food purchased onboard.

Eataly Steakhouse

Eataly features a la carte pricing, with pastas starting at $8.50 and entrees ranging from $15 for lamb or salmon to $25 for an 8.5-ounce tenderloin. Veggie sides are $3. Attached to the steakhouse is Ristorante Italia, which serves a different prix fixe menu each night for $34 per person. There, menu options represent the various regions of Italy; they include Tuscan selections like Citrus-infused seafood passatelli or lasagna and Sicilian favorites like spiced braised veal cheeks and stuffed sardines. Both are open only for dinner from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Galaxy Nightclub

Serves a daily luxury brunch for $28, which includes breakfast items such as omelets and waffles and options like oysters and foie gras, as well as one glass of Prosecco per person. From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., dinner is served there, with several different Mediterranean fusion menus. Passengers can choose a la carte options (with appetizers starting at $7.50, pasta and rice starting at $7.50, main courses starting at $12 and desserts for $5) or choose from one of three price fixe options. The Saturno menu offers courses for $24 per person; the Venere menu is five courses for $35; and the Galaxy menu is seven courses and includes a glass of wine with each dish for $59 per person.

La Cantina di Bacco (open 6 p.m. to midnight)

A small but charming spot on Deck 7. There, wine- and beer-lovers can chat over a glass of wine and a tapas plate (olives and bruschetta, for example), included when you purchase drinks. This is also the best place on the ship for pizza. It's delicious, with flakey, thin crust, and the ingredients taste fresh. The spicy pizza, with its hot Ventricina salami, was a favorite, as was the vegetarian. Pizza pricing starts at $8.50 per pie, and one pizza serves two comfortably.

Sports Bar (Deck 7)

It's clear Divina is aimed at American passengers. (The menu even reads "American Food Experience.") Dining options are strictly of the bar/finger food variety and include Buffalo wings, chicken tenders, burgers and wraps. Prices are a la carte. For $7, the burger is the best onboard -- juicy and melty.

Room Service

A small room service menu is available all day, but a small service charge

($3.50) applies to orders placed after 11 p.m. Pizza delivery service is also available for an extra charge starts at $8.50 per pie.

Nutella Crepes (By the pool)

Starts at $4 per crepe and price increases depending on fillings chosen.

Gelato

Starts at $2.50 for a cup and increases from there.

Pastries

Start at $1.50 and increase from there.

Specialty Coffees

Start at $2.25 and increase from there.

Thought I would give this a little bump...

Does anyone know are the drink vouchers in our room after we check-in or do we have to pick them up? I hope they are in the room LOL

We sail October 18th...I know you will have a blast!!!

I cannot wait to hear what you think!!!

Hi Guys !

 

We are two boys from Dublin and will be cruising on Divina in October, has anyone else booked this cruise?

 

Prices are really a bargain at the moment!

 

;)))

Unfortunately we are the sailing after yours :cool:

Just thought I'd pop this back up to see if anyone else is going.

I cannot wait to hear what you think of the cruise. We are sailing on the MSC Divina in October.

Thank you for the amazing review! I have an odd question, do you remember how much the Nutella Crepes were?

My name is Chris (36), I am traveling with my husband Wayne (36) and our 9 year old son Ryan. We live about 50 minutes east of Toronto, Ontario Canada. This is my 20th cruise but first on MSC. The MSC Divina was docked behind us in the Port of Miami in January and she looked awesome!!!

Who else is on our cruise?
