Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We book a 3 package of specialty restaurant. Food a good, however there's a separate set of menu for the package. Both MDR & buffets have a good selections.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoy a day spa & the pool. Water work are the same with other cruise line.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great show! However, the show ROCK CIRCUS & House of Houdini are not worth for the upcharge.

Children's Programs

no kids with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Amazing service from our room stewards. Clean our room twice a day, he even give us an extra pillow. One of the head waiters (Ace Malabag) goes above & beyond the service. I been cruising for so many years and never experience he provided. He made my birthday extra special, greeted us every dinner, checking if we needed anything else. He is amazing person. MSC are lucky to have him. I will sail again for Meraviglia because of him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful, clean & modern. Love the design.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin and veranda are perfect size. Bed & pillow are comfortable. Cabin are very clean. Kudos to our room steward.

Ship tip

If your planning for a specialty restaurant, dont get the package. Just get the ala cart. Make a reservation on the first day. check the schedule time for the buffet. they shut it down after lunch

Ports of call

Brooklyn, New York

3 out of 5
Expensive parking. We book a parking garage near the port and took an uber/lyft. (Use spot hero)

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

We been so many times in port Canaveral. We just stay in the ship.

Thanks for mentioning about the shows and how they may not be worth the upcharge. I'm sailing on Sunday so making sure I have everything in order. Brooklyn sounds like a nightmare to get to and park at. Ugh!
