Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

3 sea days
The pool loungers and the shaded spots go early on a sea day — by eight in the morning on a full ship, and this one carries 3,000 guests. Reserving one and leaving it is against the rules on most lines and crew do clear them, so send someone early rather than at ten.
This one earns the balcony
3 of 7 nights are at sea, so you will actually be in the cabin in daylight. Roughly $450 more per person here — the one upgrade worth arguing about on a sea-day-heavy sailing.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

Already in the fare

Meals in the main dining rooms for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Access to the buffet for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks.Basic beverages like water, coffee, tea, and juice available at specified times and locations in the buffet.Use of the main pools, hot tubs, and the ship's fitness center.Most onboard entertainment, including theatrical shows, live music, and basic activities.Kids' clubs and supervised activities for various age groups.

The drinks package

Typically around $50-65 USD per person, per day, including service charge, for a mid-tier package like Easy Plus.

Break-even: This package usually pays for itself with about 5-7 drinks a day, counting cocktails, glasses of wine or beer, and specialty coffees.

It suits those who plan to have several alcoholic or specialty non-alcoholic drinks daily; light drinkers may find it does not provide value for their habits.

Gratuities: An automatic daily service charge, usually about $14.50-16 USD per adult per day, and a lower rate for children, is added to your onboard account; it can often be prepaid or adjusted at Guest Services.
Wifi: Internet packages vary in price and speed; a basic browse package, typically around $10-25 USD per day or more for a cruise-long plan, usually supports email and messaging but not streaming video or high-bandwidth activities.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Restaurants beyond the main dining rooms and buffet, such as steakhouses or sushi bars, incur an additional per-person charge or à la carte pricing.
Shore Excursions. Guided tours and activities in port booked through MSC will be charged to your onboard account.
Spa and Thermal Area Access. Individual spa treatments, massages, and access to the dedicated thermal suite (saunas, steam rooms) typically come with an extra cost.
Professional Photos. Any photos taken by the ship's photographers, whether posed portraits or candid shots, must be purchased separately.
Room Service. While some breakfast items may be complimentary, a delivery fee usually applies for room service orders, especially late at night, and certain menu items carry a charge.
Minibar Items. Drinks and snacks consumed from the minibar in your cabin are charged to your account.

Ways to spend less

Pre-book packages. Purchasing drinks, internet, or specialty dining packages before your cruise often results in a lower price than buying them on board.
Dine at included venues. Enjoy all your meals in the main dining rooms or the extensive buffet, where food costs are covered by your fare.

Day 1San Juan· Puerto Rico
Depart 17:00
Embark in San Juan.
Getting ashore in San Juan
Most cruise ships dock directly at the piers in Old San Juan, placing passengers within a very short walk of the historic district. Walking is the most realistic way to access the city center. Ships rarely anchor offshore, but tendering can occur if multiple large vessels are in port or at specific locations, which would add a tender boat ride to your journey ashore.
Walk5-15 minutesFree
The historic sites, shops, and restaurants of Old San Juan are immediately accessible from the cruise piers on foot.
Old San Juan Trolley15-30 minutes, depending on destinationFree
This complimentary hop-on, hop-off trolley service circles Old San Juan, with stops near major attractions; check for current routes and operating hours on the day.
Taxi or Rideshare10-20 minutesTypically around $15-25 USD per car
Taxis are available near the piers, and rideshares like Uber and Lyft operate throughout the city for travel beyond Old San Juan, such as to Condado or Isla Verde.
Watch out. San Juan's tropical heat and high humidity can make extensive walking tiring, especially during the middle of the day; stay hydrated and seek shaded routes.
Worth doing here
Explore the Historic Streets of Old San Juan
This allows every kind of traveller to find something of interest, from historic architecture to local shops and cafes, all within easy reach.
The main cruise terminals are right at the edge of Old San Juan, making it free to walk and explore the colorful streets for a few hours. Budget for any purchases or meals.
Visit El Morro Fortress
It offers a significant historical experience with impressive architecture, vast green lawns, and scenic ocean views for all ages and interests.
It is a moderate walk from the main cruise docks, typically 20-30 minutes, or a short trolley or taxi ride. Admission to El Morro and San Cristobal Fort is usually around $10 per adult, valid for 24 hours; confirm the current price when you arrive. Allow 2-3 hours to explore.
Enjoy Puerto Rican Cuisine
A great way for diverse palates to experience local culture through food, offering a taste of authentic dishes like mofongo and empanadillas.
Many local eateries are scattered throughout Old San Juan, easily found on foot. You can spend an hour or two trying different small plates, with individual dishes typically costing around $8-15 each. Organized food tours are also an option, usually costing around $80-120 per person for 2-3 hours.
