MSC Launch Online Check-In
July 28, 2008 by admin ·
MSC Cruises has announced the launch of MSC Express, a new online check-in service which will be available at all major ports in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. By introducing this new check-in service passengers will benefit from being able to reduce the amount of time spent boarding the ship. Passengers simply go to the online check-in and enter the relevant information where they will receive a printout allowing them to be fast-tracked through check-in saving them a lot of queuing time. “MSC Cruises has a commitment to providing innovative solutions that help our passengers have the most enjoyable trip possible. The addition of online check-in and dedicated MSC Express desks is an extra convenience that cuts queues and waiting times at the port, meeting the growing demands of busy clients.” “We hope that this new service will help our passengers to start their trip sooner and ultimately get their holiday off to the most relaxing start possible,” said Guilio Libutti, MD, MSC Cruises UK and Ireland.MSC Cruises Floating Out Ceremony for Splendida
