Why are MSC Cruises so cheap? Secret business tactics explained!
Want a cheap cruise? Well, MSC Cruises might be just what you are looking for. They have some of the lowest cruise fares around, beating giants like Carnival Cruise Line, who are known for great value.
MSC Cruises has become increasingly popular, especially in North America. Not only do they have some of the best budget-friendly cruise…

Get your facts right. Seaside DOES NOT and never has left out of Port Canaveral. Seashore does. Cant believe the mistake.
They are getting more expensive…..careful.
They canceled our cruise 1 month prior the start date that we fully had paid for. No any upgrades offered as a gesture of apology and appreciation for another cruise we had to buy over again ( It was Poesia cruise ship in September 2024 in Europe) Plus they picked a room for us that was horrible, located next to the staff working room. There was a corridor in the room where they kept moving their work heavy equipment, big carts back and forth all days and nights long with lots of banging the door, that vibrated our room’s walls, way too loud, noisy. We couldn’t sleep, take rest due to it. Complaining to the customer service gave us nothing, they just said the only option is to purchase a different room for full price. How nice?! The whole cruise enjoyment was ruined! The food was cheap, bland, every day the same, no variety. Crowds everywhere, long wait lines. You go to the buffet and trying to get food but someone would get it first in front of your nose😅and you’ll have a hard time to find a table to sit eat cause all tables are occupied. In dining room they will change your time to come without a notice as they did to us and you will be situated at a table with 6-8 strangers with basically no other options. The staff is rude, mean, tricky lying to you. The entertainment is ridiculously cheap, not interesting to watch. All in all impression – boring, dirty, gimmicky, uncomfy. Plus the light annoying smell of piss and shit will follow you everywhere over the ship during your cruise. It’s not worth the money you spend. Enjoy the corporation rip off😢
They are less expensive for now because MSC IS ONE OF THE LARGEST SHIPPING COMPANIES IN THE WORLD AND ARE KIND ENOUGH TO PASS ON THESE CUTS TO CUSTOMERS. Yet, serials complainers talking crap for nothing are definitely bring the prices up. The older ships as with all cruise lines are the same. MSC cruise lines new ships are absolutely beautiful. The food is less processed and ultra American which is what I LOVE. I don’t need burgers and hotdogs even though they have them. We don’t eat hotdogs in our home, they are made with ultra processed crap. Hamburgers I make myself. So, people that fast food it all the time go on carnival or RCL etc. just don’t go on MSC. MORE FOR US! Enjoy your choices and your life.
9:20 i'm italian and it hurt to hear the pronunciation. it's fantasìa and poesìa, not fantàsia and poèsia
200 dollars no way after tax and fees more like 700 for a inside cabin and they pick your room.. you will definitely have a cabin on the lowest deck and probably over the engines.
I give 2 thumbs up to MSC. I'm about to go on my 3rd in 2 days from now. Ships are beautiful, good is great and I've had a better time then on on cruise lines
I just book 7 nights on Celebrity Equinox, a concierge level balcony cabin for my wife and I. All soft drinks, bottled water, designer bottled water, Red Bull, juices, specialty coffees, and a high-end unlimited alcohol drink package. $3200.00USD for both people, including taxes and prepaid tips.
It’s our first cruise, we live close to Port Canaveral, 15 minutes actually. They are highly rated with a lot of loyal, repeat customers with positive reviews, raving about service, cleanliness, and gourmet food.
msc do underpay and treat them workers badly and overwork them
Because they’re shite
Good info…thanks for sharing.
Cruising MSC in Fall 2025 – Yacht Club on Seashore. I've only cruised Celebrity so far, so excited to compare. 👍👏
Cheap because it sucks! Food is disgusting lacks variety in every category even the club was just for one group of people. Room was nice but nothing to brag about.
Their newer ships are beautiful. We cruised on the Seascape and we had a blast. I definitely want to cruise MSC again!
What can you do for me in 2026 what are your longest cruises and I want to sell solo so what can you do for me want to go from the East Coast back to the east coast I don't want to fly so I can drive I don't care how small the cabin is I don't care what the destination is as long as it's more after 24 years in the Navy and haven't been on eight or nine cruises already destination not important is the voyage that I'm concerned about
Our first cruise with MSC in Nov '24 on the Seashore out of Port Canaveral. We loved it and such a bargain price! With what we saved, I was able to book a massage and swim with the dolphins!
Msc cruise 119 day cost???
Was on MSC Euribia last year, absolutely fabulous, affordable family holiday. Would definitely recommend.
You get what you pay for.
We were on MSC seaside last year with my friends. When my friends entered the room . There’s a half naked drunk guy sleeping on the bed 😂.
@6:00 Seascape sailing from Galveston end of next year is $600/pp.
@3:20 "Labor costs are the single largest expense" for any business.
It's just 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th class. Nothing wrong with that but everyone is just prettying it up with fancy names
I just started looking at cruise pricing- MSC costs for solo travel is almost unbelievable. I think I’ll try a shorter trip to start…

Everyone who wants cheap, please stay on Carnival. Don't ruin MSC.
