A: Specialty restaurants on Meraviglia are not free. At least one of those restaurants is called the Butcher's Cut and they have a kids menu calle young sailors with a 3 course meal for $13.00. The other specialty restaurant is called HOLA Tacos and t... hey do not have a children's menu, but you could buy adult size food and split it. They have dessert too. but no children menus. There's a couple more restaurants but I'm not sure what they have.See More

A: Basically, if we buy a speciality restaurant package for me and my wife (there is NOT an option to do so for my kid), are we allowed to share the food with our son or do we need to pay food for him? Is it the same menu or a different menu?
Answered by Bambinos on November 15, 2023
A: As the other poster indicated, No you can't, but you can bring a bottle of water with you and snacks while you wait to board. Many people complain they had no water while they waited to board, but that's their fault because they failed to bring any.
Answered by Skooby on October 26, 2023
A: No. They don’t allow any drinks (alcoholic or non) to be brought on board. We brought refillable bottles and made do with the beverages offered at the buffet.
Answered by IGotATravelGuy on October 25, 2023
A: No matter what time your boarding time says you can arrive as early as 8:00 am -8:30am and get in line. The line will form to your right as soon as you enter. So stand there.There will be nobody outside the gates of the property, so don't wait for... someone to come and guide you. Just walk through the entry gate and all the way to the ship/embarkation building. Through the doors that DO NOT say CBP.See More

A: The earliest time I ever received was 9:30am on my documents but there were mobs of people coming and going. They didn’t start calling boarding groups until 11:30am.

A: It's recommended you print your boarding pass. We did the Meraviglia in March and they asked for the paper copy.
Answered by Flakes56 on September 17, 2023
A: Definitely print it out and the health questionnaire too. It says it in the directions
Answered by 1CruiseGram on September 17, 2023
A: Like everyone before me answered, yes, bring a complete printed set of your embarkation documents/ticket that will also show all your purchases, onboard credits, drink package, wifi package etc, if it's included. You will have immediate proof that t... hese items are included in your booked cruise in the event something goes wrong.See More
Answered by Skooby on September 17, 2023
A: No. You can buy a laundry package (some discounted), and have the staff take care of your clothes.
Answered by Skooby on September 15, 2023
A: There is not a night club but I found while having some trouble falling asleep one night, went for a walk along Pool deck and when I came about half way around the deck, I started hearing music and the closer I got to the back of the ship near aft Po... ol. I came around the corner and there in full swing was the night Club happening outdoors right at the aft pool deck and bar. They were having a great time. Make sure you go and check it out. I found it Night 2 so I missed out but make sure you don’t.See More
Answered by CruizinRican717 on September 17, 2023
A: I just browsed all my daily planners pertaining to the cruise that I've been sailing on since last Sunday, and the DJs have been playing only at the pools. Only 'Live" music at the other clubs/lounges.
Answered by Skooby on September 15, 2023
A: I didn’t see a nightclub with a DJ either. But that would be a real bummer! We go on the ship in March.

A: I sailed on the Meraviglia in May this year, and my luggage was inside my room when they allowed us go to our rooms.
Answered by TheBigSalad on September 15, 2023
A: You must have been in the Yacht Club. All luggage was outside cabins on my recent departure on regular decks.
Answered by Skooby on September 15, 2023
A: All luggage is left outside the cabins, unless you personally carry it on. However, if you're being escorted to your cabin directly by your Yacht Club butler, I'm sure they can arrange for your luggage to be delivered inside your room and also unpack... it if you like.See More

Q: Does anybody know if there are any park and cruise hotels around Brooklyn cruise port with shuttle?

A: Pretty slim pickings and all terribly expensive from what I've seen for a cruise we have booked for December. Probably better off just swallowing hard and paying the rate at the pier. Try https://www.trinityreservations.com if you want to see some op... tions.See More
Answered by cmressler on September 8, 2023
A: Although expensive, there is a very large parking lot directly on site at the Port. No reservations are needed, they charge your credit card in full when you pull in so it's very easy to leave when you're ready. It's literally steps away from the shi... p so that's where I parked due to the convenience factor.See More

A: I enjoyed the Sky Lounge, overlooking the pool area. Very relaxing, cool.
Answered by TheBigSalad on July 24, 2023
A: As the other poster indicated, I'm planning on hanging out at sky lounge!
Answered by Skooby on July 25, 2023
A: I cruised on MSC Meraviglia for the first time in May and I had a great time! In fact, I’ll cruise on that ship again. Lots of activities, bands in several bars and lounges, my favorite was the Sky Lounge. Service was excellent I never waited more a... few minutes for drink. You’ll love Ocean Cay, their private island. I liked the food in the MDR, I couldn’t see what the complaints were about. The buffet wasn’t bad either. My food was always hot and delicious. Seven days wasn’t enough time! Embarkation was the only downside because it was Brooklyn and it seemed the cruiseport is an inadequate size for the ship (6,000 people). Debarkation from my cabin to my Uber was 15 minutes, of course I walked off with my luggage. I believe you’ll have great time, even if all you do is relax by the pool. Every day there was a couple full length movies on the giant screen at the pool. Love the gelato and the chocolate, too. Bon Voyage!See More

A: Yes you can wear jeans. Please make sure they are neat and without holes .
Answered by marierdea on August 29, 2023
A: Yes! Wear whatever you are comfortable in. I sailed Meraviglia in May, it was super laid back.
Answered by PattiKakes on July 19, 2023
A: Mediterranean cruises have a better vibe and more people dress up for dinner. The USA not so much, unfortunately. Yes, you can jeans on non-gala nights.
Answered by Skooby on July 19, 2023
A: Good Day Fellow Shipmate Cruiser, while I did not use it for work, it was pretty stable, mine was unlimited service. Just prior to your Zoom or WebEx calls always check that the WiFi icon is highlighted in light blue in your app settings. Also, the... WiFi support crew are in the photo gallery shop & they are super friendly & helpful. All other Apps were properly supported as well & also providing good email delivery. Hope this helps. Happy Cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️See More

Answered by CaBaDavis on June 17, 2023
A: Oh wow no. I was on the MSC Meraviglia exactly a month ago NYC to Bahamas, and no mention of TP shortage. My steward kept my cabin tidy & always well stocked with all the bathroom necessities.
Answered by 24MyLuckyDragon on June 17, 2023
A: Was on Meraviglia in April. No TP shortage, but for tissue paper there was.
Answered by NIKKI7484 on June 17, 2023
A: On board right now. No shortage of TP and door under sink opens to reveal an extra roll and little garbage receptacle. If you want a box of tissues, or daily ice or anything, just ask your cabin steward and you are sure to receive it. Service has... been excellent!See More

Q: Do you get a cruise card (like size of a credit card) or a wrist band when you board the cruise to make purchase? I am looking to buy a card holder wrist band.

A: Wristbands are no longer available. I tried to purchase one in April and was told they were discontinued.
Answered by roxsut on May 30, 2023
A: Yes you do. You could also purchase wristbands for the same purpose. I just bring a lanyard since the card is pre-punched. I just hook the lanyard and call it a day
