MSC World America

Bars, slides and late nights on MSC World America

Her evenings revolve around themed bars, each free to enter, with drinks charged as you order. Dolce Vita Bar is the lively heart of it, with live music, dance lessons and trivia through the day and evening, and an Espresso Martini that guests count as a favourite. Botanic Garden Bar sits by the pool pouring Caribbean cocktails such as the Coco Loco and frozen margaritas, which suits a ship that spends her days in warm water. After dark, Garage Club turns from a teen space into a club with a powerful sound system, long drinks and premium cocktails.

By day, the Aquapark’s winding slides, splash zone and tipping buckets are included in the fare, as is the ride down Jaw Drop, which carries height, weight and age restrictions. Children can build freely in the Lego Experience, which is free to enter with only the souvenir sets to buy, while the Arcade charges for its games and virtual reality.

Steak, teppanyaki and Eataly on MSC World America

Her specialty restaurants are what set her dining apart, each carrying a charge on top of the fare, while the buffet is included from breakfast through to late-night snacks. Butcher’s Cut Steakhouse puts the kitchen on show at an open counter, preparing dry-aged Tomahawk and T-Bone in a room styled on America’s golden age, with surf-and-turf on the menu too.

Teppanyaki seats guests around four open cooking stations where the chefs work with flair and flame, and Eataly cooks Italian classics such as tagliatelle al ragù and cacio e pepe in an open kitchen with sea views.

Caribbean round-trips from Miami

MSC World America sails the Caribbean on round-trips that begin and end in Miami, Florida, from October to December, which is spring into early summer back home in Australia. Her 13- and 14-night voyages are the heart of her programme: stops change between departures, but you might see Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

In December she adds 15-night round-trips from Miami, where typical calls include Nassau, Roatán in Honduras and Cozumel in Mexico; those December departures are worth checking alongside our Christmas cruises from the US and Canada. She also runs 6- and 7-night round-trips in November and December, with Costa Maya and Cozumel among the ports. Wherever you start from in Australia, we book the flights to Miami, a hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday, so a fortnight at sea becomes a complete trip.

Her sister ships include MSC World Europa and MSC World Asia, and the rest of the fleet is on our MSC Cruises line page.

MSC World America cabins and deck plans

Her MSC Yacht Club is a ship within a ship: a private suite area with 24-hour butler assistance. Its guests have the Top Sail Lounge, with panoramic sea views, complimentary premium drinks and live music in the evening, plus their own restaurant, a grill and bar, and a private sundeck and pool with hot tubs. The MSC World America cabins and deck plans show where the Yacht Club sits on her decks and where the rest of her cabins lie around it.
