Review summary

The overall rating of 4.3 stars that the review tool calculated was much too low. I would give the cruise a rating of 4.7 stars. I would have rated higher, but we did not have the option of sailing on a larger ship from Brooklyn, NY

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth and easy. The people at the Yacht Club were super-friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the treats in the lounge before boarding the ship. A+++

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Yacht Club Restaurant was the best dining experience we've ever had as seasoned cruisers.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The Sports Plex was great, but we wish MSC offered more evening activities such as a piano bar or comedians.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all stage shows, and appreciated that there were three timing options: 7:00, 8:30 and 10:00.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The Yacht Club service was above and beyond. We really appreciated that the concierge was available to us 24 hours a day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The MSC Meraviglia was impeccably clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved our spacious 2-story duplex cabin. It was a great way to give ourselves and our son space to expand. The 2nd bathroom was much appreciated by all!!

Ship tip

It was our 1st time on MSC and immediately became our favorite cruise line!

Ports of call

Brooklyn, New York Did not visit port

It was the location where we boarded.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

2 out of 5
Bermuda does not really offer any interesting excursion opportunities. Just the Crystal Caves and the Beach.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Very crowded! Embarkation was much easier.

I would love to see Bermuda ! Seems there should be alot to do unless you just wanted to stay and enjoy the Y C!! I went on Y C Meraviglia and it can't be beat!

Would agree about YC. Had our first YC MSC experience in February 2024. Have booked two more YC cruises.

Thanks for your review. Did you even attempt to catch the city bus or the ferry and go to the different areas and check out the local (non-touristy) shops, restaurants, museums, etc?
