MSC Meraviglia Cruise Reviews - Reviews

MSC Meraviglia is a beautiful modern ship with a nice indoor Promenade. The MDR food is just Ok. The shows are good, but sadly there is no Cirque du Soleil at Sea production. MSC Ocean Cay private island is great for a beach day but it doesn’t have a pool or lazy river. This was our second MSC cruise and it was an Ok vacation, but It was not Wow or Super Fun. We like Royal WOW and Carnival FUN new ships. Yes, I know that MSC has the Yacht Club, but it’s too expensive, I better spend money wisely. We will probably (THIRD TIME'S A CHARM) try the new MSC World Europa or any MSC World Class ship when they sail from Miami or Port Canaveral, and Hopefully MSC will fix their phone customer service, Website and MSC Voyagers Rewards Club issues.

Our second cruise can only be better, this was # 1

My experience in the Waves dining room was disappointing because I didn't get my food. I waited in a long line to disembark only to be told that I had a balance on my account. Turned out to be MSC couldn't credit the money back to me and had to give me cash. Overall the cruise was great and I am looking forward to my next one.

Had a blast minus bad food and charges that shouldn’t have been charged

great cruise- so much fun- staff is spectacular. Food at main dining not my style at all- not a foodie. Don't want to wait till they open to get a menu for the day only to need my phone to google what it is :)

Great trip. Very clean and nice room. Wonderful staff.

Overall a great cruise minus the dining room misses. Ocean Cay is great.

Staff was awesome! The ship was absolutely beautiful. The food is not up to par with the other cruise lines. There were not enough places in the shade to lounge. This ship holds 4500 passengers and there were only less than 700 passengers on board. Plenty of room to move around and no waiting for anything. It was a good cruise for the price.

Great ship, excellent service and very clean. Felt safer on ship than a supper market or fast food restaurant.

Beautiful ship, wonderful food, amazing staff/crew, the most UNCOMFORTABLE hard beds in my life should sleep on floor, maybe softer?

The ship is very beautiful food is not so good weather was terrible so we made the best of it and still had a great time couldn't ask for a better staff

To me ANY cruise is a good cruise. So based on that this was a good cruise. I do think MSC sometimes gets some undeserved bad reviews. This was my 4th cruise with MSC and I would cruise with them again. That being said in summary the service on this cruise and the engagement and friendliness of the crew was as good as I’ve ever received. The ports of call were good and the weather was great. I have seen some improvement in the music on board the MSC line since my first cruise with them. They had more upbeat music on deck and in the bars and lounges. They played island and beach type music on Ocean Cay. On the other hand the food (in the opinion of me and my wife) HAS to improve if they are going to appeal to an American clientele. The buffet was not good except for breakfast. The dining room food was just meh. The selection was lacking. The dining quality is a large part of the cruise experience and is one area that carries a lot of weight in choosing a cruise. I will probably give MSC another go in the future (especially if I get a great fare like I did on this one) but if the food isn’t improved it would probably be my last. Also I might add that there were benefits to a low passenger count like better service, no waiting in line, etc but having only 500 passengers made many times and events having a feeling of a party where only a few guests showed up. Everyone on the cruise had to have their vaccines and were given a Covid test before being allowed to board. I think having to wear a mask inside was redundant. We will not be cruising again as long as there is a mask mandate. We also won’t cruise until the situation gets closer to normal numbers. Having 500 passengers on a ship that normally has 4000 is somewhat eerie.

Beautiful and spotless ship. Did 7night 4 night back to back. Only approximately 500 on 7 night and 1200 on 4 night. With so few guest the food service in the dinner room was beyond slow. Had to ask numerous times to get anything. Other that that my only other complaint was the quality of the food in the main dinner and buffet was far below what as a experience cruiser expect. Had the same issue on the Seaside the only other MSC to have cruised. Would definitely cruise on MSC again if the rates are great but would spend a little more to sail on another line with better food quality, variety and dinning service

After 20+ cruises, MSC has quickly become our favorite line. The ships and crew are top-notch and the value can't be beat. Compared to our second favorite cruise line, Celebrity, we get the same service, ship, and itinerary (with very few exceptions) for almost 1/2 the cost. That's a win-win in my book!

Cruises out of Port Canaveral, watched a Space X launch from the Horizon Pool Deck, stopped in Nassau and then enjoyed a beach day at the breathtaking Ocean Cay.

This was our 2nd MSC cruise. This cruise FAR exceeded the first one, including the food, staff, and ship's appearance. After this cruise, I'd definitely recommend MSC.

This is nice ship with some interesting features. We are booked on it again. This was my 40th cruise.

Great time in the Yacht Club! I will always cruise this way in the future! Love everything being included and being so spoiled! All the staff was wonderful!

Overall this is bringing us back to cruising 😁 fun

This was my first cruise with MSC and it was in the top 3 of the 20 cruises I have taken in the last 35 years. Having less than 500 passengers on a ship that holds 4,500 was a great experience. No wait for an elevator, no lines, no problem getting a deck chair or seat at the buffet, etc. This cruise also stopped at Costa Maya, it was not listed as an option to review. I went to Maya Chan, which is always a great experience.
