You know how it is in families with three or four kids. The first-born is always the “special one” in the eyes of his or her siblings. They always think the first-born gets “the most” \u2014 whatever the most is. Now here comes MSC Cruises with a unique offer:<\/p>\n

Celebrate your birthday (the actual day) on select 7-day MSC cruises between November 14 and December 19…and your cruise is FREE.<\/p>\n

This raises a problem in our family. Our first-born arrived on November 29. He could qualify. But don’t tell his brother and sister!<\/p>\n

There’s a contingency. The birthday boy (or girl) has to be there with you, paying $529 or more. Both have to pay government fees and taxes. Small price? Perhaps, if your MSC birthday present is $529 and, on the surface, it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>However, you may find 7-day Caribbean cruises that are competitive or even cheaper. In fact, dig around MSC’s website<\/a> and you’ll find a last-minute offer for a 7-night cruise on the birthday ship, the Poesia, for either $349 or $399 per person. Fees and taxes have to be added there, too.<\/p>\n

And hey, they don’t get a birthday cake!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
