MSC Divina was renamed mid-construction to honor Sophia Loren's nickname "Divine," becoming MSC's first North American ship in 2013. At $89/night median, this 13-year-old vessel represents genuine budget cruising with honest trade-offs—expect dated facilities and mixed reviews, but appreciate the savings and solid kids' programs that family reviewers consistently praise.
Sailing Western Caribbean from Miami in winter then repositioning to Mediterranean for summer, Divina offers seasonal variety with Ocean Cay included on every Caribbean sailing. Perfect for budget-conscious families who prioritize savings over newness, with specialty dining offering refuge from inconsistent main dining and Yacht Club providing escape at reasonable premium.
