MSC has announced it is going to be offering Kettles in the cabins on MSC Magnifica which will be sailing out of Southampton for 2018, in order to cater for more British and Irish needs – really? Is it so important to you to have a kettle in your cabin i’m not sure. The MD for MSC Antonio Paradiso has said the company is known for European Glamour but knows how important it is to have home comforts.
Top 10 items Brits pack;-
- Tea
- Coffee
- Cereal
- Soft Drinks
- Ketchup
- Bread
- Brown Sauce
- Fruit Juice
- Jam
- Beer
Feedback from guest’s has been the majority want to have home comforts still when they go on holiday, and with this in mind MSC are going to be opening voting for people to say which Tea they would like to have on board with brands like PG, Tetley, Twinnings etc in order to have your vote you will need to visit the MSC Cruises on Facebook or Twitter and the results will be known later this year.
Further changes will be for 2018 on MSC Magnifica will be;-
- Tea, Coffee and kettles in cabins
- British and Irish beer and cider on Draft – Guinness, John Smith’s and Strongbow.
- Sauces and condiments including HP Sauce, Coleman’s Mustard & Marmite.
- Roast dinner served in the buffet
- Tea & Scones along with pies and pastries in the afternoon.
- Curry corner in the buffet

Is this going too far though haven’t we got enough of British with the likes of P&O, Fred Olsen & Cruise & Maritime etc? What do you think do you agree with me and “Get away from it all” or do you want to have the British features on all of the ships – let me know
