MSC Meraviglia Cruise Reviews - Reviews

For the most part I did enjoy myself. Again, I would beware of hidden costs, nickel and diming and things you think are included are not. I was very disappointed that the under 21 women in my party did not have their drink package that we were told we paid for. It caused a lot of additional cost that we were not anticipating. Be prepared to repeat yourself a lot as most of the staff does not have a clear understanding of the English language. The ship is large and very clean the staff is extremely friendly and attentive for the most part. There were some that just could not be bothered to do the simplest of things.

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

We had issues before even boarding the ship! Mixed messages about drinks packages, first I was told we could purchase them at $59/pp/day. Which we were fine with! But when I called back to book it, the representative said that was never an option and 3 night cruise with MSC don’t sell drink packages… BUT THEY INCLUDE UNLIMITED WITH CERTAIN TICKETS… so weird, why not offer people an unlimited drinks package the first day of you offer it to some guests? Either way, past that customer service was depressingly lack luster and the ship was nothing to write home about. If we ever decide to give MSC a second chance, it will be on a newer ship. But for now, this was our first and last MSC cruise…

Overall, it was a nice cruise and we will enjoy MSC again

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!

We were not sure after reading so many negative reviews whether we would enjoy MSC. We found differences compared to Royal Caribbean and determined we like Royal Caribbean better. We did win another MSC cruise so we will go again once everything settles down with the virus. We enjoyed our cruise vacation and the new experience.

A lot of reviews from msc that the food and service is not so good. Well we can’t compare to other CruiseLine’s but we love msc. The price is in balance with the quality. We went to the restaurant to have dinner instead of the buffet because that can be crowdy

We almost turned back on this cruise and cancelled. There are several terrible reviews about the Meraviligia. But we are so glad that we threw caution to the wind and stayed the course. Cruising with MSC was very different than Carnival or Royal Caribbean but different does not mean terrible. It was a new experience which we truly enjoyed.

This was a shorter duration cruise than we normally have taken but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The ship and staff are very good and nice and accomodating. The night life needs to be stepped up a bit and the wifi needes improvement. Beyond those 2 things I HIGHLY Recommend MSc Meraviglia as an option for your future cruise. If you have the budget choose the Yacht Club experience, It is second to none!

From 0 to 10, for this cruise I give the “4”, not more. The personal of reception is very bad, not educated, “0” informations, the services payed we are not received, every think we must asking, also already payed. The experience with very big delusion... Never with MSC

It was great  but too short. Teppanyaki is very, very good !!!👍

This new ship is beautifull but the stateroom are too small

Ce fut une croisière d'une nuit, elle m'a permis de visiter le navire, ce fut une belle expérience !

Very lovely cruise. Looking forward to sailing again in 2025.

Again, this is the spirit airlines of the cruise industry. You will be upcharged on most things to have a better experience especially on foods and drinks.

We love MSC and plan to continue cruising with them. Next year Seashore!

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.

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!

It could of better it's what you make of it kids had fun! Make sure to buy excursion at the port the ship over charge you!

I’m glad I didn’t listen to all negative reviews on this site. My group of 28 had a blast. It’s not Royal Caribbean but it certainly was not awful and it had its pluses

Amazing experience, well worth the money. Definitely going again this Summer.

Overall, I had a great time. I'm there to relax and enjoy & come in with an open mind. A cruise like any other vacation is a short time to reward yourself. During this cruise, I met some great people who love to cruise and were there with one mission in mind: to have fun! Maximize your time & make every minute count! Happy New Year & Happy Cruising! 😎⚓🥳
