We loved our 2 nights onboard the MSC Euribia. I think she is the best of the 'Meraviglia Class'. We enjoyed good food and thanks to the Premium Extra drinks package, we enjoyed lots of great drinks.
The entertainment was excellent, especially the 17 Piece, Big Band Orchestra.
If you are trying MSC for the first time. Please go with an open mind. It's a very international vibe onboard, with lots of nationalities. The vibe/entertainment is very high energy/Eurovision.
I loved it and was sad to leave the ship. I would sail on MSC Euribia again in the future.
Embarkation

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
After boarding, we went directly to the main restaurant for lunch. It was just about ok. Nothing special, however I recommend people come here, rather than the Marketplace Buffet. It's a much nicer start to the cruise.
We were only on the ship for 2 nights. On the first night we went to Hola! Tacos & Cantina. It was excellent. Wonderful food and the service was also fabulous! 17.99 for all you can eat, which was a great deal. I would go there again.
For breakfast we went to the Marketplace Buffet. As expected, it was extremely busy. Having said that, the food was good and the bar staff were great. We had fresh juices and excellent Lavazza coffee's.
For Lunch we had Pizza and Burgers from the outdoor grill. The Pizza was really good. Hot and fresh. The Burger was just ok.
Dinner on the second night was at Le Grill, the ships steakhouse. The meal in here was free thanks to the MSC Voyagers Club, Diamond Level. The food was again, excellent and cooked perfect for us. Highly recommended.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We mostly did our own thing, however the daily program was packed and I saw lots of people participating in various things, Quiz, Dancing etc
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We went to the Rock show in the main theatre on the first night. It was pretty good and did entertain us.
On the second night we went to the Carousel Lounge at the very back of the ship. The Bing Band Orchestra was fantastic. I was impressed that MSC has a 17 piece orchestra onboard. They sounded amazing and I highly recommend this show. The show in the Carousel Lounge is free on MSC Euribia. On the other ships, you have to pay.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
From the very moment we boarded, the staff were friendly and gave off such good, happy vibes. The atmosphere on board was really good. Very Eurovision! High energy. I really liked it.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is still brand new. She's spotless and I absolutely love the design of this ship. Inside and outside. Very modern.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
We booked a Guarantee fare, so didn't get to choose the location. It was quite a long way from the lifts/stairs, and very important to mention, it was below the Marketplace Buffet. We could hear lots of noise from above. I almost complained, however I had to remind myself that we booked a guarantee fare and it was a bargain price. When I take that into account, I have no real complaints.
The actual cabin was very good. Nice and modern. I did think the bathroom was very small.
My biggest complaint was the cleanliness. It was very dirty and needed a deep clean. I spoke to the cabin steward immediately and he returned and gave the room a good clean. It was fine after that. It was a little disappointing though.
I would't chose this cabin purposely. The noise from above and distance from the lifts/stairs was too annoying. Having said that, if you book a cheaper Guarantee 'Bella' fare, then you can't then complain about the location. You can't have it both ways.
Ship tip
On embarkation day, goto the main restaurant for lunch. It's calmer than the buffet. Also book another MSC Cruise at the Future Cruise desk! We got another great deal.
