When packing for a cruise, one of the crucial questions many travelers have is about the security of their valuables and whether their electronic devices will fit in the in-room safe. If you’re setting sail with MSC Cruises and wondering about the size of the in-room safes, especially if you plan to secure a laptop, this article is for you.
Recently, I embarked on the majestic MSC Virtuosa, equipped with my 13-inch HP Spectre laptop, hoping to stow it away securely in my cabin’s safe. However, I quickly realized that while the safe offered a secure place for phones, documents, jewelry, and even a GoPro, my laptop, measuring 12.16 x 8.58 x 0.58 inches, was far too large to fit. It appears that iPads and larger tablets would face a similar issue.
It’s not just the Virtuosa; most MSC cruise ships are equipped with safes of similar dimensions, prioritizing compact security for smaller valuables. While this might be a slight inconvenience for those wishing to secure larger items, it’s a common characteristic among in-room safes across the fleet.
Can you fit a Laptop in the MSC cruise ship room safe?
For those planning to bring laptops or larger tablets, it’s wise to consider alternative security measures or inquire with guest services about any other options available on board. Despite this limitation, the safe is still a highly useful amenity for securing other valuables like passports, travel documents, smaller electronics, and personal items.
Remember, the primary goal is to enjoy your journey with peace of mind, knowing your belongings are secure as you explore the wonders aboard MSC Cruises
