MSC offers a new school along with help and aid for those that need it most.

MSC Cruises, they just get better and better in my opinion. Last month I wrote about getting on a ship and helping the Caribbean by going there and spending some money. MSC have done a lot more than that with their latest offer of a school for the children.

Along with the government of the British Virgin Islands MSC have dedicated a new, building that will serve as a school in Virgin Gorda. All 15 schools were destroyed in the British Virgin Islands during the recent hurricanes, the new pre-fabricated building will allow the children to focus on the future and continue their education, despite the devastated Island around them. This donation is one way the family-owned cruise line is working to help support the Caribbean and its people.

This donation is one of the ways MSC are working to set the standard in the cruising industry of helping those who need it most. I wish more of the major players would do more for the Islands that still need help.

To date, MSC Cruises has tapped their global network of partners to ship food, medical supplies, building goods, and more to the islands of Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Dominica, and the British Virgin Islands. One example is the emergency lighting they provided to the people who needed it most in Puerto Rico, due to power outages across many islands.

While most cruise ports in the Caribbean are now open for business again, MSC Cruises continues to work with their partners to assist in restoring these islands back to their former glory.

I still have a lot of questions from people about whether it is safe to go to the Caribbean and yes it is! The hurricanes have past and the islands are getting back to normal. The fish in the beautiful sea don’t know what all the fuss is about and life on the reefs is carrying on as normal. Have a few rum punches and take a load off… True Caribbean style! Call me on my direct line if you want a cruise to the Caribbean on 0333 300 2480 Adrian. Happy cruising.
