Best cruise in a long time. Excellent Service! by bettyjotyler

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Last minute cruise for us. The Covid rules caused us to be tested 2 times before cruising and to wear a tracker, but we were OK with that. Only a few of us on a very large boat. This caused us to get excellent service.

Fantastic Getaway by lisa85976906

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

We were not familiar with MSC when we booked our vacation but the sailing dates aligned with the dates we were available, so we took a chance. We are, without a doubt, overly impressed! Our next sailing is already in the planning stages.

First Time With MSC by philasby

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

As soon as we stepped on the ship, we were swarmed with staff trying to sell us drink, specialty dinning and internet packages. It was too much and reminded us of when we arrive in some ports and the locals want to sell you tours and souvenirs. After the muster drill on the first day our TV and phone went out, we reported it to the service desk and they sent a guy to check on it. He made sure the cables were plugged in, said he would be back in touch. He did not come back so we reported it again later that evening to the service desk, the next morning some staff showed up to work on it, got it working and then it went out again. Our room steward Agus double checked it later in the day and noticed it was not working again while we were on Ocean Cay. Agus contacted the appropriate staff who came back and stuck with it until they got it all working. We were unable to get “The MSC and me” chat to work. Carnival has a similar program that works great and allows members of your party to stay in touch while on the ship. We would have really liked for that to work. We purchased the Fantastica upgrade which was a waste of money we received no benefit from this option. When we called Room Service to discuss the package and “free room services and/or breakfast in our room” we were told there was still some kind of charge. We had transferred over our loyalty points from Carnival to achieve Gold status with MSC. According to their information, Gold should have meant that at least the following small perks, which we did not receive: · Fruit basket · Milestone reward · Complimentary gift · Luggage tags Pre-cruise we purchased the umbrella rental for both days on Ocean Cay at $12/day. This worked great the first day however the second day was rather cold and very windy and we did not use the umbrella. We spoke to Guest Services and were referred us to the Excursions Desk, spoke to a very nice lady who indicated she would check on it and see but that excursion as booked with third parties and perhaps they would be able to refund but she was not sure. “Third Party”, is it not MSC’s Private Island, facilities and staff? Never heard anything back on that not even the curtesy of a “very sorry can’t do a refund.” We were charged $50 each “service charge” once arriving on the ship not sure what that was for exactly, I think I read something that indicated it was for service staff. That is fine but never noticed anything on that charge prior to booking, maybe we missed it. Over all the experience on the ship was ok, lovely ship, food was just ok but managed to find a few favorites items that worked for us. Entertainment and vibe on ship was low key kind of dull but perhaps that was in part because of the low occupancy and other safety restrictions. Seemed like you had to hunt out information on how things worked like the MSC app, room service, photos, etc. The push was more on selling extras; drink, dinning, internet packages. Room was nice not much storage and bathroom was tight and not much counter top or storage, the shower was nice. What made our first cruise with MSC and our first cruise in two years great was the staff everyone was very nice, attentive and professional. The service in the Marketplace Buffett by everyone, line folks, drink people, pizza folks they were all outstanding!!! Ocean Cay was fantastic, unfortunately it was a bit cold but not even MSC can control the weather, if we were to cruise with you again it would be to go to this island and visit the lovely staff members we met!! However, we would not upgrade to the Fantastic or any other cruise package.

Sparkle EVERYWHERE! by lisasaintc

Ship: MSC Meraviglia

Beautiful ship, great staff. Their shoreside customer service is a NIGHTMARE, all the stress they put me through pre cruise melted away once I got onboard. People complained about the food, I enjoyed it all!

OK Bahamas Cruise by delucakarola

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Since I cruise so often and this was my only 2nd cruise with MSC, 1st Divina (much better) than m 2nd with Meraviglia. Allthough it was a nice ship and large and loved the smaller lifts right next to our cabin middle of ship and under the pool area. It was like having our own elevator.

New Years cruise by zorij

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Overall cruise was enjoyable, ship is beautiful as are all of the MSC ships that sail here in the US. New Years was not as "wow" as we expected but maybe it was due to covid. We had read that they do fireworks (don't know how true that is), there were none. If you are a voyagers club member you will not get some of your perks, of course with the excuse is due to covid (like so many other places now a days). For example one of the things we are suppose to receive is a free photo (usually with the Capitan) we were told we can get one taken on the last night dinner in the main dining room. Well, we didn't want to go to the MDR on the last night and even though we had taken other pictures that didn't count towards the freebie. We had a drink package and it was impossible to ever get bar service at your table at the buffet. We always had to go to the bar ourselves. We were not allowed to serve ourselves at the buffet, that's fine but it really slows down the line when you have only one person serving, and sometimes they walk away to do something else and we have to wait for them to return, that was not ideal. Hot tub usage is limited not only in time but also in the number of people allowed to go in at the same time. That made it almost impossible to get in, especially during day time. The private island was great. It is still developing so there is plenty more that needs to be done there but is very nice. A lot of space for everyone to enjoy comfortably. During port time in Port Canaveral there was a tax (FL) on the drinks we ordered at the bar. That was something very unusual and something that had not happened on another ship. There was the same sign on their private island at the bar that they charge 12% Bahamian tax (not sure how that works, but on the ship we did get charged the 7% in FL while in Port Canaveral.

Nice and relaxing by ManM

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We had a lot of fun. The ship was beautiful. The staff was outstanding. A lot of time when you go on a vacation you feel like you need to go on a vacation to recover from the vacation. Not this time. New Years on a ship is the way to bring in the new year.
