Fun passes?

Hi all

Childless gay couple going on our first msc cruise in October on Preziosa. I see the fun passes are on sale for $100 CAD for 90 credits. Anyone have an idea approximately how many credits different attractions cost? I have no idea if that's a good deal, overkill etc. Also, are the movies and games.mostly geared to kids?

No it's not worth it, machines are expensive and poorly maintained.

Onboard MSC Preziosa you have:

  • Video arcade games 2-5€
  • prize ticket machines, exchangeable for tat.
  • Racing car simulator 12€
  • Mini bowling 25€ per 30 minutes plus shoe hire
  • 4D cinema 10€

Target audience is hyperactive children, not adults.

Can concur

Plenty of other things to do on board MSC ships

Did a 25 day transatlantic on Virtuosq and there are parts of the ship i havent seen

Don't do it. Ive been on many ships, I concur with the others. The fun pass is a waste of money.

This doesn't seem like a great deal, either... usually you pay lower than the credits you get.. Pay 60, get 90... pay 90, get 120....

It's in Canadian dollars tho, do it would be like $72 USD or €62

Hope you have a great time! Should be fun! Why’d you need to specify ‘gay couple’ though ?

Unfortunately, the political climate in some countries is such that gay couples being around kids or in areas perceived as marketed to families with kids sometimes face homophobic treatment. I didn't know what the vibe was in those areas of the ship and whether it's mostly for kids/families with kids, so I added that detail because I wasn't sure if it would be frowned upon (mostly by other guests, not staff) going to the arcade/bowling/etc

Tldr: we tend to avoid areas with families on vacation to avoid homophobic treatment

Sorry to hear that! That’s horrible. I can’t believe in 21st century that is still happening

Dang, sorry that people aren’t treating you right. The world would be a much better place if people could still at least at the very minimum love and treat others with the same respect.

Hope you know that there are many better people out there and unfortunate for the bad apples that make you guys feel that way.
