Social distancing should not be a problem with 650 on board till Rome.

With a rapid(15min) test available at reasonable cost pre boarding testing is likely to become the norm.
Although not that accurate a few false negatives can slip through and false positives will get refused boarding should weed out some(most?) of the asymptomatic.

MSC would have to pay me a shed load of money to become a guinea pig in their human experiment of getting back to cruising.
Even on one of their trips you'll still come into contact with folks who are likely to be asymptomatic.
And then the Covid is back onboard not just for the cruise you're on but the next one through the crew..
No thanks

Cases are not rising as rapidly in Italy as they are in the UK - fact.
I wish the venture well. The Italians went through a torrid time earlier this year and most of Europe turned their back on them.

Too soon tbh but there’s always someone who wants to be “first” but at what cost.

I read that the passengers can not go ashore, unless they are on an MSC excursion.
Lets hope everything put in place is a success, and the start of good times again.................................................. .....Carol
