Review summary

The Meraviglia is another Fabulous MSC Ship that delivers on beauty and innovation. Though it is a very large ship, it still felt so comfortable and not overbearing to get around. The Yacht Club is sublime and the Ambience onboard is Wonderful! All in all a great ship for first time cruisers or return passengers who love the MSC Brand.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
After hearing about the nightmare 4-4 1/2 hour embarkation and testing process endured by the passengers 2 cruises before, I was so happy that MSC worked out their kinks and the whole process took about 40 minutes, including getting a rapid covid test.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service in the Yacht Club is above and beyond. The stewards are so attentive and the Bar, Restaurant and Concierge staff are all fantastic, anticipating my needs and super friendly and nice to chat with!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Gorgeous, Super clean ship-Great layout with everything pretty easy to find, and though it is a very big ship it is very manageable and easy to get around!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I upgraded to the Yacht Club Deluxe Suite so that was OUTSTANDING! I did see my aft balcony cabin though before they moved me so I can say that I was rather shocked at how small cabin 13245 was. The balcony was oversized but the room was maybe 100 sq ft and there was only a pull out sofa bed. The bathroom was good though and the balcony was awesome but this would be a very tight squeeze for 2 people or anyone larger in size.

Ship tip

If you can, Upgrade to Yacht Club it is completely worth it!
