Planning an MSC Poesia cruise and wondering what to expect before you sail? 🚢 In this video, we answer 10 questions we had before sailing MSC Poesia, including whether you can drop off your bags in…
So our first question we had was, could we drop off our bags early in our cabin or would we need to keep our bags with us until our cabins were ready?
So when we boarded the MSC Poesia, we asked our guest services if we could drop off our bags early in our cabin so we didn't need to walk around with them all day until our cabin was ready.
And to our delight, they said yes, which is so nice.
So it is expected that you're just dropping them off and coming back later when your cabin is ready.
And I do appreciate there was no additional cost to doing this.
So we always wonder what the outlet situation is like in our cabin.
And I always want to know if there's an outlet by the bed so I can charge my phone.
So the outlets in our aft balcony on the MSC Poesia.
Let's start out in the bathroom where there was a shaver plug near the ceiling, which had both a North American and European plug.
Now, were you able to charge your phone beside the bed?
This is kind of a not really situation because there were no designated plugs next to the bed.
However, one side of the bed was very close to the vanity.
So you used a battery pack and I used the vanity plugs beside the bed.
Now there were several plugs there, which was nice.
There was two North American plugs, which is handy.
And then there was a weird looking one.
I googled it, it's a Italian type L outlet which you can actually use European plugs in as well.
Plus there was a USB-A port and I appreciate this one there was also a USB-C port.
So there's quite a bit of charging options but I do wish there was one on both sides of the bed.
