"I have to say some of their reviews were too harsh and unfair, this cruise was the first voyage for MSC, out of NYC (Brooklyn), in my opinion it was very good, but some areas need improvements.MSC is saving the money on entertainment and activities, but if you are looking to get away for a week to relax with your spouse, family or friends this cruise is for you at good economic value...."Read More

This was my first cruise with MSC and I loved it so much!!! Food quality and diversity was great, lots of choices for different types of cuisine and the late night pizza had to be the best pizza I have ever tried truthfully. The staff was absolutely the best, so incredibly nice, every single one of them, so excited to write them the best reviews. All were overly kind, enthusiastic and helpful. ...

Meraviglia from NYC very memorable in bad ways

Meraviglia leaving from NYC was very memorable in many good and bad ways. Ship was pretty, a typical Crystal stair case in the main atrium than leads to large 2 level digital ceiling arcade in 6 & 7 floor in the mid section was very nice. Although its considered a large ship some places felt very cramp in lounge and restaurant areas. It has indoor and outdoor pool with ample space in main deck ...

The cruise was OK, not great. I like Celebrity and other cruise lines better however they are significantly more expensive. For the specific points: The good: The ship is nice and appears to be well maintained. The crew is generally friendly however the breakfast staff in the MDR sometimes seemed mildly annoyed. The cabin steward was excellent, one of the best I have had. We ...

CONS more than PROS. Beware if you need internet

CONS: The first day of embakation, we were delayed for three hours. The worst thing is the internet package. I bought an internet package before the cruise for one device, but when I need to add another device two days before my disemarkation, they told me that I could not buy the package, nor the 24 hour access anymore. I need to handle some work on both my phone and the laptop, and due to that ...

Terrible Quality Cruise - Steer Clear of MSC

Embarkation was slow even though we arrived at our assigned time - 10am. It seemed like people were doing whatever they wanted in terms of arriving. After embarking, went to buffet. Food was not good, selection was mostly cheap junk food, and staff were not monitoring guest activity at buffet - allowing them to grab things with their hands etc. The crowd on this cruise was not a good crowd - ...

Meraviglia from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal was an experience of balancing affordability, expectations, and the unique quirks of cruising. At a base price of $550 per person (for two people), it felt like a steal, including unlimited food and drinks. Of course, cruising costs add up with extras like gratuities ($56 per person), Wi-Fi streaming ($140 per person), specialty dining ($75 per person), ...

Disappointing week

Never sailing with MSC ever again. I have been on several cruises and can confidently say that this was the worst one. First day, we found out at boarding that they changed our preselected room without informing us. We were supposed to be 4 cabins next to each other and ended up being scattered around. The room was dirty with slime and hairs in the shower. The service is poor with some bartenders ...

A Bitter Taste: MSC's Easy Plus Drink Package Fall

My recent MSC cruise was a bittersweet experience. While the ship itself was impressive and the specialty entertainment was top-notch, there were a few areas where the cruise fell short. One significant disappointment was the Easy Plus drink package. On previous cruises, the champagne bar offered a diverse range of high-quality options, all included in the package. However, this time, only one ...

I have been on another MSC cruise before (Seaside), and it was amazing. Compared to that one, this one was very disappointing. Buffet - Long lines everywhere. It was not clear where the line starts and ends because people were cutting in on both sides. It was so crowded, especially on embarkation, that it was impossible to find a table and the plates were disappearing. For the soup station, ...

This was my husband and I’s first cruise. We stayed for 7 nights. I would highly suggest the easy plus drink package which included alcohol up to $10, coffee, espresso, soda, Red Bulls and more! We were highly impressed with everything on board including the staff members. Hector (Barista) from Jean Phillippe’s coffee was absolutely amazing. If he wasn’t working I left and came back until Hector ...
