Took a bit of time to get oriented with all the relevant onboard amenities. Once we were familiar with everything we found it easy to get around in a timely manner. Overall experience was excellent and will be cruising with MSC again soon. Will book the Aurea experience next time to be able to enjoy more of the exclusive areas of the ship and island.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
easy and organized. We brought snacks for the kids which saved us as there was little opportunity to get anything between parking the car and dinnertime.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was very good, certain things better than others of course, but overall hard to beat. Sometimes the bar service was too slow which made us glad we did not buy the drink package.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The kids loved the kids club and all the water activities. We took them to some of the shows which they also enjoyed.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The shows were good, not Broadway or Vegas but high quality in production and performance.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
The kids loved going to the kids club which was a relief. We were disappointed that the Dorami lab was closed because of computer issues.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Mostly all friendly and helpful especially in the kids club. Some of the bar staff and cabin Stewart's seemed to struggle with language barriers at times.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Beautiful all around, well maintained, impressive features.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Very clean and well designed. Only one electrical outlet in the room but we knew that before boarding and came prepared.
Glad you enjoyed it. MSC and the Meraviglia offer a great experience. As an FYI, Aurea will only give you access th the spa for the entire cruise and a better cabin location. You will need to book Yacht Club for access to the private areas of the ship and Ocean Cay.
