The Ship
The MSC Musica was built for MSC Cruises in 2006 and is an English-speaking cruise ship with 1,275 cabins across 13 passenger decks. The onboard currency is Euro.
The ship has 11 bars, 5 different clubs for children, and 5 restaurants, 3 of which are included in this deal – the L’Oleandro, the Belle Epoque, and the buffet restaurant. Not only does the ship have 3 swimming pools and 4 whirlpools, but you’ll also be able to play basketball, soccer, tennis, and many other sports. Or you can relax by watching shows, going to the casino, the theatre, or other entertainment venues.
The inside cabin is roughly 14 square metres large and has a TV. Wi-Fi, however, is not included and costs €12 per hour.
Non-included services are moderately priced. A pizza + drink, for instance, costs €7 and a cappuccino costs €2. Wellness treatments, however, are more on the expensive side, a 25-minute massage costing €65 or a teeth whitening costing €199. You can also pay for certain sports courses, such as a Pilates course for €10. Getting a haircut costs €24.
Getting to Bari
You can find many cheap Ryanair flights to Bari, e.g. from Rome, Paris, Venice, London, or Budapest. You can also fly with easyJet from Manchester, or fly ITA from Frankfurt or Nice. Flying with Transavia from cities such as Malaga is also possible. Just make sure to have a good buffer between your arrival and the ship’s departure, as the ship will definitely not wait for you.
