Sail date: September 22, 2019

Ship: MSC Meraviglia

Review summary

The ship is beautifull with a modern decor inside but is much too big for us. No free shuttle buses in Belfast or Reykavik. The Thermal spa is "Inside" and without a nice sea view. It also lacks body lotions. The public areas for relaxation inside with a view was to few.

The city is superb but when 4300 people have to go through US Immigration it simply is too many!

Ours worked realtively well based only on lucky circumstanses. MSC:s misstakes gave us luck. People were shouting and screaming, some fainted (hear say). Redicules endless waiting for standing in long lines.
