MSC Cruise Television Lineup Features Ship Information, News and Sports
A recently recorded onboard channel guide includes multilingual safety programming, entertainment networks and several ESPN services.
A television lineup documented during a recent MSC cruise shows that ship information accounts for much of the onboard programming. According to the recorded guide, Channel 14 displays the vessel’s current location.
Safety programming occupies Channels 1 through 6, with separate broadcasts in English, Italian, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. After an MSC Foundation channel, onboard-activities programming is offered in the same six languages on Channels 8 through 13.
The listed external news, entertainment and sports options include Sky News, Sky Sports News, CBS News, Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel, National Geographic and Nickelodeon. Sports offerings include ESPN Caribbean, ESPN 2 Caribbean, ESPNU, SEC Network and ESPN Syndication. The guide also identifies Channel 41 as Movies.
The report cautions that cruise lines regularly revise television listings, meaning the channels available on a particular MSC sailing may differ from the recorded lineup.
