I believe the official line is Visas are the responsibility of passengers and we make sure we have what is needed for ports of call. We don't rely on these boards or the cruise line info as we have seen people denied boarding for not having the correct paperwork for India, also saw a couple who had to leave the RCCl ship in Taiwan as they didn't have the correct visa for China about 10 yrs ago. In we did a Princess cruise Rome to Brazil, where some US passengers had a similar experience.
Our Cruises
We’ve called the sea our home for over 300 years. On an MSC Cruise, our guests don’t just create unforgettable memories, visit incredible destinations, and enjoy the finest hospitality - they also have a chance to make a difference. From our experienced crew members to our engineers, to our expert ship builders, we’re securing the sea’s tomorrow by taking positive steps today. If the story is true about the visa (and this isn't the first time I've read something similar), doesn't licesta have a responsibility to share the info about such ridiculously poor service on each and every post that is pertinent?
About MSC Cruises
Mostly I do email, but sometimes a typewritten snail mail letter is best. In this ugly situation, I'd be sending the letter(s). If I can get an email of a specific person, I MIGHT also email a copy of my letter.
MSC Cruises – Contact a Ship
This has led us to launch many life-changing initiatives over the years.
While there are plenty of resources for those of us with cruise questions -- resources such as travel agents, Cruise Critic's editorial features and our message boards -- sometimes you just need to get in touch with your cruise line. Personally, I would not mention anything beyond that you had a conversation with the Captain who offered his apologies - mentioning the coffee thing will only make them defensive, and that's not what you are aiming for. Include clear copies of every document you mention in your letter, including that stamp in your passports and proof of your travel expenses. Include the name of the official in Rabat and the official who boarded the ship in San Salvador (you have those names, right?) Don't threaten a lawsuit or that you've spoken with an attorney. If it were me, I'd ask a friend to read the letter before I sent it to make sure it concisely and clearly explains what happened. I would not keep posting your complaint on these boards.
They really have no customer service unfortunately. Our customer service staff will be happy to help you make or change a booking, and provide you with assistance before or after your cruise. Here, we offer a roundup of dozens of mainstream, luxury and expedition cruise lines from all over the world, with key contact information including snail mail addresses, customer service phone numbers and email addresses. We've listed information for river cruise lines here.
Those considering MSC have a right to read all experiences and then toss out those that they deem as irrelevant. I have had a complaint registered with them since October, when they quoted a 28 days response time!! Absolutely zero response despite me emailing weekly concerning our very valid complaint.

They had to disembark in Portugal and get visas and re-board in a later port. They don't care about anything, the customer service is a POS. All Things Cruise is dedicated to the joy of travel.

We are the world’s third-largest cruise brand as well as the leader in Europe, South America, the Gulf region and Southern Africa, with more market share in addition to deployed capacity than any other player.
I have the same issue since November when I registered for the MSC Voyagers Club. I have called twice and both times they told me they would fix it since when I login to my profile it is not there. At this point I have kind of given up on MSC after the last cruise anyhow and probably will not take another cruise with them.
However, I agree that when/if she receives reasonable compensation, it would be great if she returns with the final results. I hope she will share the good or the bad ending to this sorry situation. The most effective e-mails and letters are very short — no more than one page, or about 500 words. They include all details necessary to track your reservation, such as reservation confirmation numbers and travel dates.
In the event this ends up in a legal dispute (although good luck with that in Italy), I would be cautious with how I told the tale, but I would most certainly be telling it. Of course, I would also be sure to share a resolution if one is found (at each and every place I told the story). If MSC makes this right, that goes a long way in restoring consumer confidence.
From weekend getaways to family cruise vacations, a world of discovery awaits with MSC Cruises. Choose from 23 modern cruise ships sailing to over 250 of the world’s most sought-after travel destinations that offer something for every traveler. Swim and snorkel in turquoise waters on a Caribbean cruise, relax on the beaches of Bermuda or The Bahamas (including our private island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve), or visit the picturesque ports of Canada & New England.
