Entertainment

3 out of 5
We paid extra for two special shows which were OK. Wouldn’t do again

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
A bit slower than we are used to in the bars and restaurants. Although we were traveling with friends and were frequently a group of 10 so perhaps that had a bearing

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
That was beautiful and immaculate. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the restrooms in the public areas. Spacious and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Spacious. Primarily because not much furniture. No sofa or coffee table. Very little drawer or shelf space but serviceable. Not used to leaving before breakfast and returning after lunch and the room still not made up

Ship tip

Make the most of available drawer and shelf space. Maybe bring magnetic hooks for hats jackets etc

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Went from the airport to the ship

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
This was an overnight stop and was beautiful. Terrific private island

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Not one of our favorite ports. No excursions just took a walk

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Only there a short time so just a bit of shopping

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were in no hurry and had priority status so smooth sailing

Glad you enjoyed it. I had a great experience on the Meraviglia in January. As far as servicing the room, make sure you flip the light switch that you want the room cleaned that notifies the room steward when you are leaving your cabin.
