Can you FaceTime on a MSC cruise?

One of the best options is to use a program like FaceTime for Apple users or video chats on WhatsApp. And if you opt for the “Browse & Stream” package, then these chats are available to use. MSC specifically lists “video chat” as one of the features available with the higher-end package.
