For Passengers With Mobility Impairments: (check the appropriate box) |
All decks, public areas and tenders are designed to be as accessible as possible for guests with reduced mobility. In addition, there are a number of specially fitted staterooms available on each ship in the fleet. For safety reasons, guests requiring assistance may be requested to travel with a care taker, depending on the specific route. Wheelchairs are available on board our ships, for the use of guests during embarkation and disembarkation only, or in case of emergency. Guests that require constant use of a wheelchair or any other form of support must bring their own equipment with them. It is the responsibility of the guest to check with the relevant producers/suppliers that this equipment is safe to take on board and use on a cruise ship, and to organize both its delivery to the departure terminal in good time for embarkation, and its collection at the end of the cruise. For detailed information on the ports of call and excursions suitable for passengers who experience mobility
problems, read the relevant pages in this section, and once on board check the accuracy of the information provided. |

Service Animal
MSC Cruises welcomes service animals on board its cruise vessels. Suitably trained and certified guide dogs are allowed on board all ships, assuming that they are in a good state of health and possess all necessary documents for entering the foreign countries visited during the cruise. The guest will be informed in advance about the accommodation made for the animal, the facilities available (if required) and the embarking and disembarking procedure. The guest is personally responsible (with the aid of the caretaker if applicable) for the custody, feeding and general care of the animal during the whole stay on board. |

Children with Special Needs
Children with special needs have normal access to all onboard services and facilities. Although the entertainment staff do not offer a childcare service, they are trained to provide a wide range of entertainment aimed specifically at children. All children, including those with special needs, are assigned to a certain children's area depending on their age. If necessary, children or young guests with special needs can be placed with a lower age group (with the agreement of their parents), or they can take part in specific activities, together with their parents if required. |

Deaf/Hard of Hearing: (check the appropriate box)
MSC Cruises is sensitive to its guests needs and constantly strives to offer the best service in accordance with all ADA standards. MSC Cruises makes available a portable room kit if requested prior to sailing by completing a special needs form for each guest. An auxiliary aid kit will be provided which includes a visual tactile alert system, door knocker, telephone alert, alarm clock and smoke detector to guests who require them. A TTY (teletypewriter) interfaces with the Guest Services Deck which is on-call 24 hours a day. Throughout your MSC Cruise you can tune into a dedicated safety channel where a video is televised, in-room, with a sign language interpreter. Captioning, when available through our service provider, is also offered for in-cabin movies. Upon request, sign language interpreters are available, on all cruises departing from and returning to a U.S. port, for guests who use sign language as their primary means of communication. To ensure interpreting services are
available as requested, please provide us with 60 days’ notice before your cruise departure. |
