interesting. Thanks. I am looking for whatever info I can get as I rebooked a cancelled April 2020 cruise for April 2021 and having some doubts about the port 'bubbles'. Of course, it is all moot if Canada and work require quarantine upon return.  Being essential services there may be more restrictions.

Magnifica will be sailing from Genoa on 10 night cruises starting in October.

Thank you for the link. Given MSC is a small player in N America, I am really impressed with its pro active leadership and ability to mitigate the COVID-19 risks while the big three cruise lines either failed or are lacking behind. Well done MSC. You have gained new respect and interest from me as a cruiser.

I agree.  I'm so grateful that we followed our instincts and tried MSC last January.  We were blown away by what a good cruise it was.  Now we know it will be worth waiting for the next one, even if it means wearing masks and all the rest.

Sid; we were on a thread talking about refunds on Preziosa or Poesia for May sailings and awaiting refunds since April.  Yours come through?

Thank you so much for posting this! It's a great review of what to expect on a 'COVID Cruise' and makes me hopeful for our Meraviglia sailing in January.
