Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR- food was great. There was something on the menu for everyone. Not one for seafood but was able to find something from the menu. Buffet: lots of different food groups to pick from. Usually the same thing daily but if you know what you like it is easy to maneuver. The bars were sometimes crowded but I just found another and 2. Had some bartenders that would make us speciality drinks.

All shows were great, really enjoyed them

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room was cleaned multiple times a day. Ship was clean with staff always busy. The staff was so friendly and will to help with any questions or concerns. Slim and Jade in our MDR were awesome. Drinks were brought to us almost as soon as we sat down. Slim explained how the dining and cook staff worked so we would understand if there were any delays. Darrel, room attendant, was great. Room was cleaned more then once a day which I have no idea where they find the time but much appreciated it. He went out of his way and made us towel animals that he knew we enjoyed from other cruises, that stood out for us. The manager of the tv bar, never got his name, was one of the best at his job. He made every person he talked to and served feel special

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
One of the most beautiful ships o have seen so far. The room we picked was in a great place and localized next to everything we needed. Bathrooms were clean and stocked at all times. Wait staff kept glasses and dishes picked up all over the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was bigger then we expected. Needed more drawer space, not enough for 2. Also need the option of getting something like an egg crate for people who like softer beds

Ship tip

I would say bring more hangers for dresses and shirts

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Took about an hour but that was more to do with other passengers not listening to staff and causing clusters and backups. Staff was trying to keep people together with their groups but some were trying to cut line to get with the rest of their groups instead of the ones in front stepping to the side so they could catch up. Luggage was grouped together according to group #s so when the staff directed you to your # it was easy to find.

Glad you enjoyed it. I had a great experience on the Meraviglia as well. I don’t understand the people who say the food is terrible, and they have the same thing every day. That is not the case from my experience.
