¡HOLA! Tacos & Cantina
When the mood calls for tacos rather than tablecloths, head to HOLA! Tacos & Cantina on Deck 6, right in the heart of the Mediterranean-style promenade. This relaxed, fast-casual spot serves Mexican and Latin American-inspired dishes made for sharing.
Choose from blue-corn tacos, nachos, beef empanadas and tamales, then give them some personality at the signature salsa bar. Agua fresca, tequila and mezcal complete the picture. It is open for lunch and dinner, and you can reserve your preferred time from 30 days before departure, subject to availability.
Butcher's Cut
A Great Plains inspired American steakhouse where master butchers custom-cut and age select Linz heritage Angus beef before it reaches your plate. The signature Rib-Eye Steak is a sensible place to begin.
Find it on Deck 7, Fantasia, beside Galleria Bellissima. Pair your meal with a New World wine, a Sazerac or a Virgin Cucumber Mojito, then save room for lava cake with molten bittersweet chocolate.
Kaito Sushi Bar
Sushi with a front row seat to the bustle of Galleria Bellissima. On Deck 7, Kaito serves freshly prepared sushi, sashimi and tempura, from neat nigiri to rolls such as the Dragon.
Pop in for lunch as a walk-in, or book your evening table in advance. Dinner is popular, and nobody wants their sushi plans left on the cutting board.
Kaito Teppanyaki Restaurant
Pull up a seat at one of four cooking stations and watch skilled chefs work the open grill right in front of you. This is Japanese teppanyaki, where teppan means iron plate and yaki means grilled, so dinner comes with a little kitchen theatre.
Sushi and sashimi, garlic fried rice and caramelised pineapple with ginger ice cream all feature on the sample menu. You will find it on Deck 7, Fantasia, and can reserve before sailing via the MSC website or app, or visit the speciality dining desk onboard.
Marketplace Buffet
A relaxed, sea-view buffet on Deck 15, where you can graze your way through Mediterranean, international and healthy dishes without a dining time to chase.
Watch the open kitchens at work, then choose pasta, roast-meat specialities, desserts or flavours influenced by Asian and Indian cooking. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks are all covered.
Il Cillegio
Il Ciliegio is one of MSC Bellissima’s main dining rooms, serving Mediterranean and international specialities from a menu that changes daily. Red chairs and round sea-view windows give dinner a suitably smart setting.
You will find it on Deck 6, Musica. Dinner is served at your assigned dining time, so there is no need to gamble on a walk-in table.
Posidonia
Posidonia is MSC Bellissima’s main dining room for multi-course Mediterranean and global menus. You can choose from fresh fish, meat, burgers, homemade pasta and a generous spread of fresh salads.
Find it aft on Deck 5, Opera. For dinner, you will generally have an early or late sitting and a table reserved for your cruise, so there is one less decision standing between you and dessert.
Il Ciliegio Restaurant
Il Ciliegio is one of the ship’s main restaurants, serving Mediterranean and international specialities from a menu that changes daily. Set on Deck 6, Musica, it is a rather good excuse to let dinner make the decision for you.
Your dinner is included in the cruise fare. You may be able to choose early or late dining with a table reserved for your cruise, while Aurea guests have My Choice dining during opening hours.
Lighthouse Restaurant
A bright main dining room where you can work through rotating international and Mediterranean dishes, with French, Italian and Spanish influences on the menu. The large aft window on Deck 6 serves up wake views with your supper.
Aurea guests have My Choice dining during opening hours. Otherwise, dinner sittings are available, and you can request a different time by reserving a table.
Carousel Lounge
Carousel Lounge
This glamorous, purpose-built lounge on Deck 7 is where you come for more than a drink. Settle in for Carousel Productions at Sea, where acrobatics, dance, live music, lighting and special effects take over the room.
Choose the Signature Cocktail experience for a pre-show drink before productions including SWEET or MYÜT. It is not included in your cruise fare, so book the cocktail package if this is on your evening list.
Top Sail Lounge
Top Sail Lounge
Reserved for MSC Yacht Club guests, Top Sail Lounge is a panoramic spot at the front of Deck 16, close to the Concierge Area and Horizon Pool. Settle in with a craft cocktail, coffee or glass of wine, plus gourmet finger food served at various times.
Afternoon tea and live music every evening give sea days and evenings a rather polished rhythm. Keep swimwear for the pool, and opt for smart casual after dark, as shorts and flip-flops are not permitted.
Attic Club
Attic Club
When you fancy keeping the evening going, Attic Club is MSC Bellissima's chic nightclub on Deck 18. It is made for dancing into the early hours, with dance music and a view over the basketball court.
Order a cocktail, mocktail, Spritz, Mojito, beer or cider, then find your rhythm. With just 41 seats, this is one for dancing rather than settling in for the night.
Champagne Bar
Champagne Bar
Raise a glass before dinner, or keep the evening going afterwards, at this stylish Champagne Bar on Deck 7. With 20 varieties of champagne to choose from, it gives you plenty of reasons to linger.
You can pair your bubbles with fresh oysters, caviar or fish, while the atrium setting and Swarovski crystal staircases provide prime people watching between sips.
Imperial Casino Bar
Imperial Casino Bar
Need a breather between hands? Imperial Casino Bar sits inside Le Grand Casino, serving selected cocktails, mocktails, beer, wine and fine spirits.
You will find this 23 seat spot on Deck 7, Fantasia, for a pause from the casino buzz. Casino play is for guests aged 18 and over, or 21 in Alaska.
TV Studio and Bar
TV Studio and Bar
Part cocktail bar, part live broadcast hub, TV Studio & Bar on Deck 7 puts you close to the action. Settle in with a cocktail, beer, wine or soft drink while games, quizzes and talent contests are beamed around the ship.
With 98 seats in the Galleria Bellissima, it is a lively place to catch live music, join the karaoke or simply watch somebody else bravely take the microphone.
Edge Cocktail Bar
Edge Cocktail Bar
Settle into this stylish pre-dinner cocktail bar on Deck 6, Musica, where comfortable seating meets a properly lively atmosphere.
Choose from an extensive cocktail list and watch your drink come together in front of you, typically with five or six ingredients. A fine place to meet before dinner, or simply give the evening a head start.
Arizona Aquapark
Arizona Aquapark
Grand Canyon themed water fun, high above the sea on Deck 19 aft. Arizona Aquapark packs in three twisting slides, a children’s splash area with spray guns and water dunkers, plus the Himalayan Bridge ropes course.
The slides have a 1.20 metre minimum height, and you will need to sign a waiver at the start of your cruise. One for the family thrill-seekers, then.
Mini and Juniors Club
Mini and Juniors Club
Young cruisers have their own Ship of Magic space, developed with LEGO, where they can build, create and get stuck into games and activities. The Mini Club is on deck 11 for ages 3 to 6, while the Juniors Club is on deck 12 for ages 7 to 11.
Free play with LEGO bricks runs every day, and there are arts and crafts, sports competitions and even MasterChef at Sea Juniors. Once per cruise, the LEGO Experience On Board gives participating children a Junior LEGO Master Builder diploma.
MSC Formula Racer
MSC Formula Racer
Take the driver’s seat in MSC Bellissima’s full-sized Formula Racer and go head to head with fellow racers in an adrenaline-fuelled virtual-reality showdown. No traffic lights, no roundabouts, just racing.
You will find it on Deck 16 in the Amusement Area. You must be at least 140 cm tall to race, so check the daily programme for current opening arrangements.
Sportsplex
Sportsplex
Fancy a proper knockabout at sea? Head to the 390 square metre Sportsplex on Deck 16, Seaview deck, a multi-use arena where you can play basketball, tennis, football or volleyball.
During the day, it also hosts organised games and tournaments, so you can join in, show off a little, or simply cheer from the sidelines.
Atmosphere Pool
Atmosphere Pool
MSC Bellissima’s main pool area on Deck 15 is made for a dip, a sun lounger and letting the day take its own sweet time. You have poolside bars and an ice cream bar nearby, so refreshments are never a lengthy expedition.
Stay on deck after sunset, when atmospheric lighting and the giant screen give the pool a rather different look. Swimming by day, a proper shipboard backdrop by night.
London Theatre
London Theatre
Take your seat at the Broadway-style London Theatre, MSC Bellissima’s main venue for live shows. Set across Decks 5 and 6, it hosts revue-style productions packed with energetic music and dancing, from Latin-inspired Ritmo to rock-focused Solid Rock.
Shows are included, but you will need to reserve your place. With seating for 975 guests, booking ahead is the sensible move, particularly if you have your eye on an evening performance.
Full Size Bowling Alley
Full Size Bowling Alley
Fancy ten-pin bowling with the sea somewhere beyond the walls? Head to Deck 16's Seaview area, where two full-sized lanes bring a properly competitive twist to your time onboard.
Send your ball down the alley, challenge family or friends, and see who earns bowling champion status. It is a fine excuse for a little friendly rivalry, particularly after a browse around the nearby Sportplex.
MSC Aurea Spa
MSC Aurea Spa
On Deck 7, Fantasia, the Balinese-style MSC Aurea Spa is where you swap shipboard bustle for proper switch-off time. Choose a massage or beauty treatment, then make the most of the thermal area.
There is a Finnish sauna, sensory steam baths and even an Ice Fall, for those who like their relaxation with a brisk plot twist. Thermal experiences are by appointment, so book ahead. You must be 18 or over to use the spa.
MSC Gym by TechnoGym
MSC Gym by TechnoGym
Keep your routine moving at MSC Gym by Technogym, a 570 square metre fitness centre on Deck 16, Seaview. Work through cardio equipment, free weights or the circuit training area, with panoramic ocean views making the treadmill marginally more interesting.
There is also a spinning room and separate studio for classes. Wear proper sports clothing and closed toe athletic shoes, then save the flip flops for the pool.
