MSC ship unveils new app features

MSC Grandiosa will offer new features for the company’s ‘MSC for Me’ digital programme when the ship is christened in Hamburg on November 9.

The multi-channel digital programme enables guests to interact with the ship and the crew members at any time. MSC Grandiosa will be the sixth ship to host this programme on-board.

New features let passengers book packages and shore excursions before they board, and pre-register credit card information. It has a friend and family locator where guests who wear a Bluetooth-enabled wristband can be located at any time, a chat option where guests can direct-message each other through the app without Internet and a ‘what to eat’ feature to give guests an insight into ingredients or dishes.

Current features of the app include mobile check-in and ship navigation.
