Prices for internet packages are not listed on MSC’s website, but become available once booked. You can purchase daily packages, worth up to $20 per day. You can find more information about Wi-Fi on MSC cruise ships here.
When booking the flights, you should always make sure that you arrive early. If you are late, the ship will not wait for you. So it is better to plan a one-day (or even better, two or more days) buffer.
