Review summary

MSC's Meraviglia is an amazing ship - luxurious and spacious. We never once felt crowded and the amenities were amazing. We'd go again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy boarding

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Standard food and drink were OK. Drinks can add up without a beverage package, however neither of us drink enough to warrant one. Main dining experiences were good. You can order as much as you'd like. The upgraded restaurant experiences were good as well. We did not feel like others, who were disappointed in the food. If you're offended by Mediterranean dishes (breakfast, lunches, dinners) or need 15 ethnic choices on your cruise - MSC might not be for you. If you enjoy fresh made mozzarella, croissants, salumi and cheeses, fresh salads, fresh pizzas and probably the most amazing hot dogs we've ever had - you'll enjoy MSC. The steak house and seafood restaurant is very good as well.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were ample activities (all day long, for kids and for adults). We were pleased to simply lounge all day. The SPA area is fantastic as well.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Having Cirque du Soleil on board is awesome. The other entertainment was OK (7/10).

Children's Programs

We don't have kids, but the kids on board looked to have a great time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service and attention to our needs was fantastic.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
She's an amazing ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Everything about our cabin was great. Very stylish and comfortable. Bathroom was larger than I thought it would be (on a ship).

Ship tip

Book the unlimited spa area package.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
This looks like an outdoor mall, posing to be a city, built for tourists.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Didn't have enough time to explore, but it was our own choice to walk the town and learn a lot about Belize City. We regret not taking an excursion here.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Roatan was our favorite. What an incredible island to visit.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
The MSC island is also fantastic. Talk about a "private luxury beach" for just one cruise at a time. It was one of the highlights - and provides for an amazing "beach day".

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy.
