FAQ's

Is this cruise suitable for solo travellers?

Yes! This is a hosted group trip with Travel Connex, so you’ll never feel like you’re going it alone. Many of our travellers come solo and leave with lifelong friends. We also offer roommate matching (same gender) if you’d prefer not to pay the single supplement.

What’s included in my MSC cruise fare?

Your cruise fare includes your accommodation, most meals, entertainment, and access to onboard facilities like pools, lounges, fitness centres, and theatre shows. You’ll also have daily housekeeping, themed nights, and activities galore! Drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, and shore excursions are optional extras.

Do I need a passport or visa for this cruise?

Yes, a valid passport is a must for this international itinerary, and it should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date. Visas aren’t usually needed for Australian or New Zealand passport holders on a cruise like this, but we always recommend checking the latest entry requirements for each port of call or chatting with your Travel Connex advisor for peace of mind.

What should I pack for a cruise like this?

Think resort casual, lightweight clothes, swimwear, a couple of dressier outfits for themed nights, and comfortable walking shoes for shore days. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and something for slightly cooler evenings on deck.

Can I get off the ship at every port?

Absolutely! You’re free to disembark at each destination and explore at your own pace. You can either wander on your own or pre-book an MSC-organised shore experience (totally optional). Just make sure to keep an eye on the ship’s all-aboard time, she waits for no one!

What is life onboard like? Will I get bored on sea days?

No chance! MSC Divina is like a floating resort packed with things to do, live entertainment, themed parties, delicious dining, pools, spas, and even dance classes and trivia. Sea days are perfect for relaxing, indulging, or making the most of everything the ship has to offer.

Will there be someone to support me throughout the trip?

Absolutely. The trip is fully escorted by the Travel Connex team from Australia, so you’ll have on-the-ground support from departure to return. Whether you need help at the airport, navigating the ship, or exploring a port, we’ve got your back.

What’s the weather like in the Caribbean during December?

December is one of the best times to visit the Caribbean, warm, tropical weather with average temps around 25–28°C. It’s also outside the hurricane season, making it a great time to cruise. Expect sunny days and balmy nights (perfect for deck cocktails!).

I’ve never been on a cruise before—will I get seasick?

Most modern ships, including the MSC Divina, are very stable and you’ll hardly feel movement. However, if you’re concerned, we recommend bringing motion sickness bands or medication,  just in case.

How much free time will I have in each port?

You’ll have several hours in each port, with plenty of time to explore at your own pace. Some stops, like Ocho Rios and Cozumel, offer full-day stays, while others like Aruba have shorter windows. You can book optional shore excursions or simply wander and soak up the local vibe.

Are there any days just to relax on board?

Yes! There are multiple sea days throughout the cruise, perfect for recharging. Whether you want to hit the spa, chill by the pool, or join an onboard activity, you’ll have time to unwind and enjoy the ship.

Can I customise or extend my trip?

Definitely. Want to fly in early, stay longer, or add a New York City stop for Christmas and New Year’s? We can help you tailor your trip before or after the cruise for the ultimate holiday getaway.

What’s included in the cruise, and what should I budget extra for?

Your fare includes accommodation, all main meals, entertainment, and most onboard activities. Extras like specialty dining, drinks, shore excursions, and Wi-Fi are additional. We’ll guide you through what to expect so there are no surprises.

I’m nervous about international travel, can you help with everything?

Yes, we handle the logistics for you! From flights and transfers to cruise check-in and travel tips, Travel Connex takes the stress out of travel. We’re here to make sure you feel confident, prepared, and excited every step of the way.
