    We went MSC cruise last year we booked through travel counsellors they have different people to book through depending on what area you live in.

    Myself and the wife have been on a number of cruises. We'd swear by Celebrity cruise. You canbook with them direct or via a number of travel agent.

    Really superior offering. Very few kids. Not very uppity or too casual.

    We booked our 1st msc bellissima cruise through americandiscountcruises.com

    Our next one, msc meraviglia, directly through msc. Went with all in this time, drinks packages and gratuities included, only wifi extra.

    Msc is kinda on a budget side, but their new ships are awesome. Seaside, grandiosa, belissima, meraviglia etc

    And drinks packages are cheaper, pretty sure gratuities aswell.

    I noticed that msc doesn't really do any special sales like others during black friday or other sale days. So book early.

    I usually check vacationstogo.com first, just to get the idea about itineraries and prices.

    Theres also a 90day tracker on that website.

    Cruises that depart in the next 90 days. Some good last minute prices there.

    Heard that celebrity is more popular with couples, i found msc was good for families, kids/lego clubs etc.

    Good luck

    Just finished my second one on Royal Caribbean. Booked through travel counsellors. Very happy with the service and booking next year's one with them too.

    I've been on three MSC cruises Splendida, Orchestra and Divina around the Med and Sapphire Princess from LA to Vancouver and enjoyed all of them.

    I booked my first cruise on the MSC Splendida with Tour America then booked the next two MSC cruises direct with MSC. I booked the Princess Sapphire cruise with Jackie's Cruise Page Cobh and she was great to deal with.

    I use cruises.ie

    I have booked 6 cruises through them now and they have always been cheaper then going direct with both RC and MSC. I have been on 3 MSC cruises with them and they usually get me a 10% discount as Im part of the MSC Voyagers club which is well worth signing up to
