At MSC Cruises, we have always prided ourselves on the quality, range and variety of cuisine we offer to our guests, from International to the best Mediterranean food. To maintain the very best of onboard food experiences, we’ve introduced seating times to manage guest flow and adapted our entire process for ordering, preparing and delivering your food, to ensure there’s no compromise on your safety or the level of our cuisine.
Self-service at the buffet restaurant will be temporarily unavailable, and the food will be plated and served by our crew. For a contactless experience, you can access restaurant and bar menus from your personal mobile device by conveniently scanning a QR code. Depending on your Ship and Experience, you can choose from Classic to Early or Late Dining when booking and we’ll reserve a table for you for the entire duration of your cruise. To enjoy even more flexibility you can choose My Choice dining style that lets you dine any time you like during the main restaurant’s opening hours.
