PAMPERING
Time is the greatest luxury and onboard an MSC ship, life goes at your pace. Whatever your definition of relaxation, an MSC Cruise is your getaway to bliss. Sleep in or wake up early. Stroll around the deck or run on the jogging track. Get refreshed with a swim in one of the pools or relax your body and mind in the jacuzzi. Workout at the gym or sweat it out to one of the many aerobic and step classes offered on board. Treat yourself to a visit to the spa for a massage or a sauna.
Join in a game of cards, table tennis or shuffleboard or, if you're up for it, play a game of tennis or volleyball. Stretch out underneath the warm Mediterranean sun with a good book from the ship's library or catch up on the news from home with our daily Satellite News Review. Sip tropical drinks and lounge on a deck chair with new friends or browse through the duty free shops. If you're feeling tired, take an afternoon nap--a siesta is the Mediterranean way to restore your energy for the night ahead. Whatever you chose, there's always plenty to do on deck, even if you prefer to do absolutely nothing.

PORTS OF CALL
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
Once the epicenter of Spring Break, today Ft. Lauderdale is a year-round destination where culture and cuisine are in ample supply. Beautiful beaches, sunshine, coastline, nightclubs and superb restaurants await you in this Gold Coast enclave. More restaurants and shopping on Las Olas Boulevard or Himmarshee in downtown Ft. Lauderdale are a must.
Key West, Florida
The "Conch Republic" is a festive island of colorful bars and equally colorful characters in what may as well be the tropics. America's southernmost tip, where Harry Truman spent his summers playing poker and running the country, is a non-stop delight. Visit Hemingway's house where you'll find his original manuscripts and many of his famed six-toed cats. And while you're on the island be sure to sample its culinary treasures, such as conch salad and world-famous Key Lime pie.
George Town, Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman is one of a group of three magnificent tropical islands Christopher Columbus called "Las Tortugas" (the turtles) for the sea creatures he found in the ocean water. The designation did not endure, however, for on later maps the islands were labeled the Caimanau, the Carib Indian word for "crocodile." The name "Caimanas" refers inaccurately to the iguanas native to the islands, which were perhaps at one point mistaken for crocodiles. Among other attractions, visitors to the island will enjoy learning about the turtles, visiting the town of Hell, exploring Seven-Mile Beach and enjoying the undersea world.
Cozumel, Mexico
Long before Cancun became a popular destination, Cozumel was well-known as a diving spot and home to the world famous Palancar Reef, which gives divers the opportunity to view thousands of brilliantly colored fish. Non-divers can kick back on a sun-drenched beach, or enjoy any number of seaside activities, such as shopping in colorful marketplaces or dining in an open-air cafe.
Samana (Puerto Levantado), Dominican Republic
Located on the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic, it is the ideal destination for a day of pure escapism. The white sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling and other water-sports swimming. This Island is also known to locals as Bacardi Island because of its palm trees resemblance to the ones in the rum distiller’s advertising spots. Has Paradise ever been so close?
