Just spent a week on... by arose60

Sail date: /
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

Just spent a week on a beautiful new ship, cabins good size, well appointed. Service poor, too few staff, not supported by managers. Only one chair on the balcony, but some had none. However more furniture was being loaded at Genoa. A fantastic ship that needs a few more weeks to be sorted.

Amazing boat. Everything is great.... by juju67

Sail date: /
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

Amazing boat. Everything is great. The only bad thing is that they are not enough workers and the service is bad. But you can stay a whole week on it and enjoy every place.

tres beau bateau mais organisation perfectible. by juju67

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Europe

Je suis revenu samedi 17 juin d'une semaine de croisière sur le Meraviglia et je vais vous faire un petit résumé de mes vacances (en toute objectivité).

Quand on arrive sur l'autoroute de Marseille menant au port on le voit de loin et là on est comme un gamin, on trépigne d'impatience. Une fois à ses pieds on lève la tête et on doit tous avoir la même réflexion : Wahouuuu. Il est géant et magnifique!

Embarquement un peu chaotique par manque d'organisation entre le personnel portuaire et celui de MSC. Mais on arrive à monter à bord à temps pour le repas au buffet. Les chambres sont dispos vers 13h30. On nous annonce que celle-ci est ouverte et que la carte et les bracelets (j'étais Aurea et ils sont donc inclus) nous attendraient sur le lit. Que nenni. Y avait rien et une fois nos affaires dedans nous devions la refermer (sans pouvoir y re-entré). Direction la réception pour obtenir nos pass (pas mal d'attente).

Le bateau est splendide et gigantesque, une vraie ville flottante. Il est neuf donc forcément pas de traces d'usure. Déco très raffinée et sobre : du grand MSC quoi.

Il y a beaucoup d'espace pour déambuler et la foule ne se fait pas trop ressentir hormis sur la journée en mer où là ca fait un peu usine.

L'autre effet Wahou c'est incontestablement LA nouveauté de ce bateau : la voûte de 90m en LED. Elle est impressionnante de beauté. Le motif change en permanence. Et si vous êtes encore debout à minuit il y a une surprise!!!

L'Aurea Spa est juste trop bien! Dans la formule Aurea un massage de 55min est inclus. C'était super agréable. On se croirait dans un vrai spa thermal. 3 salles de repos, un immense bain bouillonnant d'une capacité de quinze personnes environs, un sauna, un bain de vapeur, un "congélateur" avec fontaine de glace, une douche thérapie en 4 temps, etc...

Le théâtre magnifique avec ses effets de lumières partout. Bien qu'il soit plus petit il n'a été presque complet qu'une fois pour le spectacle VIRTUAL. Les réservations sont facultatives mais recommandées.

L'application MSC FOR ME est très pratique et fonctionne parfaitement maintenant. Pas eu de problèmes pendant la croisière. Il est conseillé de la télécharger à bord et pas en amont pour éviter les bugs. En effet, le wifi du bateau vous permet de télécharger l'application gratuitement via l'appstore (il ouvre une passerelle sur le téléphone pendant une dizaine de minutes pour l'appstore). Pour s'identifier il faut créer un compte avec l'ID internet de la Cruise card et non pas utiliser le compte web msc. On pourra y consulter son compte (argent dépensé à bord), gérer son journal de bord, réserver les spectacles, consulter le programme du jour, etc...

Les points négatifs maintenant :

Comme il y a encore beaucoup de problèmes à bord, la réception est débordée. Souvent 30-45min voir 1h d'attente à la réception. S'armer de patience donc ;-)

Cabine Aurea balcon (13030 pour ma part) : pas de chaises sur le balcon, juste une petite table! La réception n'avait aucune explication et aucun dédommagement prévu comparé à l'inaugurale et ses 100€.

Les restaurants : Aurea propose tous les restaurants du pont 6 sans réservation et un coupe file prioritaire : ça n'a jamais été respecté au Panorama (au fond du bateau après les Olives). Service à 19h top et rapide. À 20h45 une vraie catastrophe : très lent et désorganisation totale entre les chefs de rangs et les serveurs! Ils vous placent à des tables déjà occupées. Leur plan informatique ne colle pas à la réalité!

Les serveurs dans les bars sont en sous effectifs et n'arrivent pas à suivre (quand les tablettes fonctionnent, imaginez quand ca déconne!!!). Idem au buffet à volonté du pont 15.

Voilà ce qui est à dire niveau négatif. Sachant qu'entre le 10 et le 17 il y a du mieux quand même.

Autre point positif à soulever : l'aqua park : me suis éclaté comme un gamin mais je n'ai pas tout testé. Les toboggans sont super! (Pensez à chercher votre bracelet et signer la décharge au sportplex pour pouvoir aller à l'aqua park).

Les deux solariums privés réservé à l'Aurea sont super pratiques : jamais bondés et de la place avec un bar en cas de forte affluence. Le serveur qui gère cette partie est adorable (Eduardo je crois)!

Cirque du soleil at sea :

- Viaggio : je n'ai pas aimé du tout, mou et sans grand intérêt ! - Sonor : j'ai pu y assister en avant première quelques jours avant la première aux croisiéristes et il est juste génial. Effets sonores et visuels top.

S'il y a un spectacle à choisir ce sera bien Sonor, en version cocktail qui est amplement suffisant. Apparemment le repas n'est pas fameux et envoyé au lance-pierres (45min pour manger).

Voilà pour faire "court" et si vous avez eu le courage de lire tout! N'hésitez pas à me poser des questions sur des points que j'aurai oublié d'aborder.

On the maiden voyage too.... by bgtwinsplusone

Sail date: /
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

On the maiden voyage too. Not much of entertainment compared to other cruise lines. Too many problems but that can be expected on the first voyage. We paid extra for a balcony (it was a huge corner balcony) but unfortunately we couldn't use it because there were no furniture. We did receive a $100 credit per cabin (should have been more). Also food was not as good as Disney or Carnival. No lobster or stone crabs! Entertainment staff was very stiff and rude to non-European. I wouldn't recommend this ship although I may consider taking another MSC cruise in the Caribbean. Not impressed with service but the ship was beautiful. Crazy cabin layout to accommodate more rooms per ship. Photographers were not good. All around poor experience. Sorry.

Sail to lovely pink sand Bermuda by Annjosh

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

Overall we had a positive experience. They did misplace our luggage for several hours when we first boarded that was unnerving. We enjoyed most of the trip!

MSC Meraviglia is a beautiful ship, sadly plagued with many service difficulties (due to staffing shortages and overbooking of small children). by MarkXDStops

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

4 Finally's: Finally! A ship with enough elevators (and they are fast!). Finally! A ship that uses actual plastic straws (instead of those paper abominations!). Finally! A ship that provides fun, mid-day Sea Day entertainment (noonish parades or samples of shows on the main promenade!). Finally! A ship with a highly organized E-Day and D-Day experience. That said: One star on their Assembly Station Drill! The way they do the maritime-mandatory safety check-in is by far THE WORST way to do it that we have ever seen on any cruise. The stuff of nightmares: Ear-splitting sirens, shutting down the elevators and making old people walk 10 flights of stairs, and my Lord, the screaming children! ----------------------------- 2 "Yet Anothers" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yet another overbooked and understaffed cruise! The understaffing is most obvious in hotel staff such as overloaded cabin stewards, but also in long lines at casino cashier window and non-existent beverage service. Overbooking is obvious (and don't give me that "it is impossible to overbook, there is a capacity number" blah blah blah, bc it IS possible to overbook when you add rug rats into every other cabin, 16 cruises ago I was on NCL Breakaway capacity 3,962 but 4,500 on board due to additional kids). To make more money, they add 1-3 children to cabins designed for 2 adults only. On MSC Mera, there are over 1,000 children on this cruise, as it is the last week before many schools start in New York and New Jersey and Philly. These brats are loud, rude, obnoxious little walking stereotypes of absently-parented city kids. Yet another "ninja" cabin steward [one that you never see, never meet, does not respond to phone messages you leave, and cannot read your written notes regarding any requests, even after leaving cash underneath your note: untouched] (although it is kinda neat when you leave for as little as ten minutes and come back to a magically perfectly-clean, well-ordered cabin). I dare you to call twice daily, morning and afternoon, to ask for 1 extra pillow. Go on, I dare you.

We met some amazing people and had alot of fun, it seemed to be more stressful than relaxing at times because everything was so overcrowded but we made the best of it.

Disappointing, boring by garridogabriel0

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

Truly disappointing, very boring and uneventful. Parties weren’t great either. There are 19 floors in this ship, and only a handful has things to do. Most of the floors are rooms. I’d give my trip a 1.5/10

Not the best cruise by lisa71507150

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Meraviglia

It was not the best cruise I have been on. From the staff to the cleanliness to kids the last two nights running up and down the halls banging on doors till you answer and they go running down hall throwing and smashing food on the floor and walls I was afraid to open my door. Called down no answer. Security. That’s a laugh what security. Should be monitoring the halls at night.

Relaxing by DonnaEric

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple

Fun and relaxing. Only complaint is I wish the internet was more reliable, I had the text and streaming package and it was spotty for being a paid connection.
