MSC Meraviglia Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We really enjoyed our cruise, and would definitely sail on this ship again. We got the 5 specialty restaurants dining package, and it was totally worth it, all the specialty restaurants were very good. Our biggest complaint with the restaurants is that we expected more Italian red wines by the glass, such as Chianti or Montepulciano for example, but they were available by the bottle only. The Champagne Bar was great, I think we ended up there pretty much every day of our cruise. Also were pleasantly surprised by The Pub, they had Chimay, which is the first time I've seen a Trappist beer on a cruise ship. We also really enjoyed the shows, I read that MSC shows are not as good as on other lines, but I disagree, at least for this ship. "Houdini", one of the circus shows, was my favorite. We also did a bit of shopping on board, the clothing store had some Italian designer brands, and everything was significantly discounted.

We got on the ship fast and we got off with self assist as we drove. The food in the buffet was great cause we love variety. The dinning was great too. Only went a few times .

Awesome, don't listen to the haters. I think they've never cruised before and didn't know what to expect from a big ship or didn't do their research. This was our 12th cruise but first on MSC. We are Gold on Disney and RCCL. We will be back to MSC for sure!

Cruise was overall a great experience. The staff mentioned above went above and beyond. The rest of the staff was pretty good as well. There were a ton of kids on this boat which became annoying at times. The 18+ activity also were not regulated and had tons of kids at them.

Overall we really enjoyed our cruise and found it a great value. Our son had a single room and wasn't charged any more than my wife and I.

Overall, I'd sail with MSC Again. We got a great deal with a free balcony upgrade when we booked, so there was decent bang for the buck there. The food

Travel agent group and we upgraded to YC omg sooo amazing an probably one of it not my favorite cruise. Loved it

Man MSC is a good cruise line, the galleria meraviglia is very well designed and laid out, the pool deck as well, the food was pretty good and the ports were very nice, but the thing that was the best was staying at ocean cay from 7 am to 10 pm for the party

This was our first non Carnival cruise (we have only sailed Carnival in the past). MSC has the making of being an excellent cruise line, but there are a few things that could be improved on. For example, booking shows, being able to order water to our room (not even an option at the moment), you can't bring outside drinks (sodas, wine, etc like you can with Carnival), booking specialty restaurants (that was a whole other can of worms..). But the service of the staff was excellent and all were professional and willing to help you in any way.

My cruise was ok. Ship needs more variety like more entertainment.

This was a great relaxing cruise for us. We booked it less than a month out and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Ocean Cay is beautiful! The staff on the ship was AMAZING! I would sail this ship again in a heartbeat.

Great time! Will try the Meraviglia again one day.

Enjoyed a relaxing cruise onboard the MSC Meraviglia.

Two things will prevent us from returning to msc. The no anytime dining. And the rock hard beds. Other than that staff was wonderful food was delicious and ship was beautiful.

If you go in with no expectations it’s a lovely surprise. My husband said “MSC fed me, housed me, and didn’t sink - it did a great job!” I was irked in the beginning but lots of things not in anyone’s control. I made lovely friends tho and I can’t say that wasn’t worth it.

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and concern regarding the embarkation process and stateroom condition on my recent cruise. Unfortunately, my experience in this area was far from what I had anticipated and caused me to experience back pain. On the day of embarkation, I arrived at the port excited to start my vacation. However, I was met with chaos and an understaffed security checkpoint. The line was incredibly long and moved at a glacial pace, ultimately resulting in me standing in line for over four hours. During this time, I was forced to stand in line for an extended period, which caused me to develop back pain. The lack of proper accommodation and long wait time was both frustrating and physically painful. It put a damper on the beginning of my vacation and made me highly uncomfortable for the rest of my trip. I expected a seamless check-in process and accommodations that would ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Concern regarding the stateroom I was assigned on my recent cruise. Unfortunately, my entire experience was completely tarnished by the horrific smell that permeated my room throughout the duration of my trip. I was excited to embark on this adventure, but from the moment I stepped into my stateroom, I was met with an overwhelming and intolerable stench. Despite my best efforts to air out the room and contact Guest Services for a different room multiple times, with no resolution. I cannot stress enough how unpleasant and unsanitary the situation was. The odor was so strong that it made me nauseous and uncomfortable. I was unable to enjoy my stay in my room, which is one of the main highlights of a cruise. I expected to have a clean and comfortable living space. I am extremely disappointed that this was not the case.

Will do it again. Dave our waiter and Chris our cabin boy did a really greatbjob.

Embarkation is rough. Once you make it through relax and enjoy your trip!

I also think thay they should start with show about the story of MSC with the 1st show. Makes more sense.

We will likely be cruising again in a different region, but would highly recommend the MSC Meraviglia to friends & family.
