MSC Meraviglia Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had an excellent cruise on the MSC Meraviglia. Our first cruise in a suite and we will definitely be doing this again. Can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was for us.

We will only travel in the yacht club. Service is outstanding. Dinners in the yc restaurant were superb. The lounge staff was so extremely attentive. Always a snack to have if desired. The pool deck was kept so clean and breakfast and lunch served there was also quite enjoyable. The staff is what made this cruise! In addition MSC followed safety protocols to the max!

I enjoy MSC cruises, and they have improved since my first cruise in the late 90's. The ships are beautiful and very clean.

We had an excellent cruise. Not sure why others are complaining about the food and service, we experienced nothing but great service and exceptional food.

Cruising in January is fun.... Less people onboard and great weather. This is our 2nd cruise on the Meraviglia and it was as great as our first one. Absolutely beautiful ship and fantastic crew. Will definitely sail on her again in the near future.

As I said earlier the ship was beautiful. If every MSC ship is this beautiful I would love to see all of them. However, the food in my opinion, was not up to par with any other cruise line I’ve ever been on. This is my 23rd Cruise first cruise with MSC and I doubt if I’ll be back again. The only way I’ll be back is if the draw of the beautiful ship brings me.

We had hopes that MSC would be our new favorite. Cheap fares, beautiful ships, so much potential. Was not a bad cruise and want to try them again after Covid but at this point, our least favorite. It started off bad with dealing with pre-cruise corporate incompetence and lies and that unfortunately probably soured the on-board experience. When we got onboard, we tried again to get our family's cabins near each other liked we booked them but was told "NO". Listend to a woman who was upset because she bid on an upgrade and MSC charged her credit card but she was not given the upgrade. The desk clerk told her, "MSC will refund your money later." She knew that was a lie. I would never trust MSC to refund money. She begged to speak to a supervisor but they would not let her. They just have a different (unfair) way of doing business. I usually dread the end of a cruise but this time I was OK with leaving. Not that I didn't enjoy it all but just didn't feel comfortable. We only had 1400 passengers so having no lines was amazing. If I sailed MSC with a full crowd I don't think I would have enjoyed it much. It is a cheap cruise so hard to complain but strangely the problems with MSC is not much to do with money, just weird business decisions and culture. I hope they get it together for the North American market. Still don't be afraid of trying MSC.

While the COVID cloud was ever present the crew did a great job of insuring COVID protocols were followed and they even tested everyone on board on Tuesday so it seemed they were attempting to do their best and go above and beyond. Our group of 5 had a very good trip and absolutely love sailing with reduced numbers!!!

I adore this ship and crew. This voyage was a little quieter than previous voyages, but with Omicron surging, it's the best we could have asked for. Thank you Antonio in the Casino, Chester and Maharta in Waves. (Feel better Chester)

This is not the best time for cruising. There is little danger of Covid, yet the restrictions are abundant and greatly reduce the cruising experience. If there is any enjoyment to be had then wait for the freedom allowed in the past. Otherwise, you are better off looking for a domestic vacation.

The good...beautiful ship. The bad..the food choices were boring and repetitive. Specialty restaurants were insanely priced. The ugly..embarkation and disembarking was a total cluster. And the covid i bought home has had me in bed 4 days so far. If this strain is mild, I'm glad I didn't have the serious one. Vaxed and boosted didn't help. I don't blame them for the Covid. They took all reasonable precautions, its just the world we currently live in.

last time the ship help 5400 passengers and was crowded. this time only 940 and we had the ship to ourselves

Can't wait for our next MSC cruise. Ships are beautiful, food is superb, lots to do on board.

I felt like this cruise was a great mixture of entertain yourself or join in with us. The staff was amazing... Premraj and Jon, Joe Vaz, Tatenda and Armind in the Waves Restaurant were awesome!

Great ship with an amazing cruise. Good and service was outstanding. Make sure to see the rock band in the carousel lounge.

Ship was amazing... ports not so much.... I think with time Ocean Cay will develop into a wonderful island... they are just behind the times of the other cruise lines

Cruise was laid back and enjoyable. Only 1500 passengers so plenty of seating in and outside.

Never never go on a cruise on a MSC ship if you don’t want to be disappointed

Best cruise ever! Food, service and cleanliness were excellent. We have a friend in a wheelchair and the staff was extremely attentive and helpful with getting him around, taking him to the buffet and even helped getting him into the jacuzzi. Love the new way of the buffet, where the staff serves you. So much more sanitary than before the pandemic. We also were very fortunate, had only 822 passengers on board

This is, by far, the best cruise experience we’ve ever had. The service was wonderful, the ship was beautiful, and the Specially Dining was amazing! I’m already booked for another.
