Review summary

The overall cruise was pleasant and got us away. We cruised with MSC based upon the Antilles itinerary. Not sure we would cruise with MSC again due to our past experiences with competitors where the experience has been better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Main dining room over 2 hours and the food was mostly bland. The buffet is large but lacks daily variety

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Variety of pools and hot tubs, great tube slide, fitness center was over crowded due to size for capacity of ship

Entertainment

We enjoyed the Circ du Solei was great. Theater shows are typical of a cruise but they have great opera singers.

We will be cruising on the Meraviglia next year to Canada. How much are soft drinks by the glass and coffee by the cup? We can't decide if the $290 per person for a non-alcohol drink package is worth the money.

Sailing on this ship january 5! Had a great experience on seaside so hoping for another good experience. For Honduras...was the snorkeling you did an excursion or did you go on your own?
