Review summary

Beautiful ship, wonderful food, amazing staff/crew, the most UNCOMFORTABLE hard beds in my life should sleep on floor, maybe softer?

Embarkation

2 out of 5

COVID restrictions and tests are understandable but a bit of explanation from MSC would have helped the whole FIASCO

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Wonderful,eclectic

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Relaxing if not a bit hum-drum

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Live musical, small scale shows were very good but “theater” shows were school age recital level at best.

The Broadway Theater

1 out of 5

ALL shows were just embarrassing. Singing portions were ok but were not enhanced but dirtied by the just terrible dancing performances. Magician performance was like being at a ten year old’s birthday party.

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

ALL staff were over the top friendly and ALWAYS attentive and willing to please

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Extremely beautiful and extremely clean only one design flaw in my opinion would be the lack of outdoor deck space for walking

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Spacious for a cruise cabin, extremely super firm, hard bed. Only a bottom sheet and a duvet no top sheet. Maybe a European thing?

Ports of call

Thank you for the review. I’m wondering if there are activities during port days since you didn’t get off the boat.

Thanks for the review. I was on Meraviglia last month and was pleasantly based on previous reviews. I found the bed comfortable, but maybe others have a memory foam or pillow top mattress at home they are used to. On other lines you can ask for a foam topper for the mattress (not sure about MSC). The Covid requirements / testing were clearly explained in the communications I received and at the pier.

Great review, very accurate. My bed was harder than I liked but livable. Even if MSC tried to explain their testing protocal, guests probably wouldn't have been able to understand the heavily accented announcer.

Good

Nice boat, Great crew, Food was the worst I have ever had on a cruise ship, Buffet OK, Dinners were the worst. I would rather eat 2 day old McDonalds.

It's Good to be Pampered
