Review summary

I had a great time. I kept an open mind. I normally sail with Carnival. I would sail MSC again. I’m already booked on the Meraviglia.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and painless.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was fantastic! The the lunch buffet didn’t change much but it was good. I ate at the teppanyaki and the steak house twice at each. I highly recommend both! The wings in the sports bar were so good! The bars were nice and there wasn’t too much of a wait. The pool bar is the busiest.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There aren’t a lot of activities compared to Carnival but the activities they had were fun. We went to a lot of the dance classes. We went bowling and that was pretty fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The acrobatics were entertaining. The Michael Jackson show was fun.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The service was good there were a few bad experiences with about 2employees but overall good. We did notice that guest service is slow when fulfilling requests.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is breathtaking. Every part of it is great for a photo op

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

I loved our cabin. It was spacious and beautiful. However we had to be moved to a new cabin halfway through the cruise because there were bed bugs on the bed. If it hadn’t been for that incident I would give it a 5.
