Our experience aboard the MSC Meraviglia departing from Brooklyn, NY was exceptional. The food offered a satisfying variety and quality. The ship itself was stunning, meticulously maintained, with the LED dome being a highlight. The staff were notably friendly and accommodating. Entertainment options were diverse and enjoyable. Overall, we highly recommend this cruise to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable voyage.
Embarkation

Very good experience. About an hour or less from the moment of arrival in the port to the moment we were inside of the ship. Very efficient process.

Onboard Activities

Although we did not attended any of the activities, they are pretty good and offered throughout the cruise.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Great Programs
Overall Great Performances. However, the paid performances are not good. They have good production, talented dancers but the show itself lacks a lot of stuff. There was nothing that captivated and engaged us.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
Our kids are pre-teens so they did not fit very well in the kids club and they were not old enough to attend the teen's club. However, they had a blast with everything else offered in the ship.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
That was our first time in a ship and it did not disappointed. The MSC Meraviglia is a fairly new ship and very well maintained. I was a little apprehensive before about about how our cabin would look like, but I was surprised with the level of cleanliness and maintenance.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Good size cabin for four.
I enjoyed all the amenities
The only thing I that they could improve more is the pillows. I prefer a firmer and taller pillow and the one they offered was not very good for my neck.
Ship tip
Come prepared for the parties. As newbies, we had no clue that they offer different them nights/parties: gala, white, space etc...
Glad you had a good time on your MSC Meraviglia cruise. I agree with your review of the ship, the service staff & embarkation experience. But, not sure if this is a typo as far as the dates reviewed here, because we have not yet reached the ports you have reviewed. I am on board the 3.3.2024 cruise to Florida/Bahamas, embarked yesterday (3/3) from NYC, Sea Day today 3/4 & do not reach Cape Canaveral until tomorrow 3/5, Ocean Caye on 3/6 & Bahamas on 3/7/24 with disembarkation on 3/10. However, your assessment as far as our embarkation yesterday, went very smoothly & greatly improved my previous experiences. Thanks for sharing. Happy cruising 😎⚓️🤩❣️‼️
