Review summary

great cruise- so much fun- staff is spectacular. Food at main dining not my style at all- not a foodie. Don't want to wait till they open to get a menu for the day only to need my phone to google what it is :)

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We thought it would be lengthy as they retest for covid there even though we tested 2 days prior. but very smooth and people were very pleasant!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

First night main dining- foods were very different, somethings I did not even know what is was. Took a long time to come. Rest of the time we ate in the buffet. I found it VERY hard to find steamed veggies. They were all in sauces of some sort. So that was the only tricky part trying to get my veggies in.

Marketplace Buffet

3 out of 5

Needs to have steamed veggies or veggies without putting them in sauce for those of us that can't have them that way.

Onboard Activities

had a balcony it was great!!!

Ship tip

it is impossible to get the dinner menu ahead of time to figure out where you will eat- main dining or buffet. We are not foodies so the buffet was better for us.

Thanks for the review. I’m looking forward to being on that ship soon. I like trying new foods so I hope I’ll enjoy it.

Thanks for the review. I was on Meraviglia in January and found the food in the dining room to be very good and a wide variety. I don’t consider myself a “foodie”, but I love to try new foods or something I normally don’t eat at home. They also had “normal” foods each day such as Caesar Salad, Grilled Chicken, pasta, etc. The menus were available in the MSC & Me app, although not an obvious section.

We weren't interested in their food also. Thanks for sharing your cruise with us.
