Here we are again on the MSC Poesia for our ship tour. The public spaces on the ship are definitely ones people will talk about. Take, for example, this area in front of Kaito Sushi Bar. There is a beautiful marble sculpture at the center and if you look carefully at the wall, there is… Read More
On a cold, rainy day in Boston in October (October 20, 2011), I ventured off for a ship inspection on a MSC Cruises ship, the MSC Poesia.
