Great value but lots of room for improvement

The cruise, booked at the last minute, was a bargain, especially because the solo supplement was minimal. I was hoping that the solo experience would be okay, but that it really was not and the cruise line did almost nothing to make it a good experience. For me, the highlights were embarkation, disembarkation, cabin size, the gym and extended pool hours. The low points were food, restaurant ...

An Extraordinarily Loud and Crowded Experience

We chose this itinerary (back to back with Bermuda) because of the destinations and a good price. Also we had had a good expense on the Meravigilia in 2020, just before the pandemic. Overall we did enjoy our trip, at least we did until two of our travel companions got Covid, which was obviously a downer for them and us. There are many things we like about the Meravigilia and most of the ...

First time cruising with MSC as we are Elite Members with Princess but thought a change was in order. Perhaps a bit spoiled so keep that in mind! Check in at the port, though harried and loud, was efficient enough and we were on board in short order. The ship is large and alternately decorated with classic colors and then nearly freakish colors which, in my opinion, were loud just for the ...

Mangement and Customer Service Ruined this Cruise

Previously sailed other MSC ships with good to excellent experiences. Happy to find this ship sailing from NYC. Unfortunately, the cruise was plagued by what we experienced as poor management planning, execution and equally poor customer service on deck 5. What we liked - Room was always well cleaned and maintained. Entertainment by dancers and singers was the best. Main Dining Room service ...

First, although Cruise Critic insists on calling this a 5-night leaf-peeper run, it was in fact a 13-night repo from New York to Miami via the Eastern Caribbean. My wife and I booked this cruise as a target of opportunity: a nice way to celebrate her birthday, a nice opportunity to see our kids in New York before the cruise, and a nice opportunity to visit cousins in Florida afterward. We chose ...

Meraviglia Yacht Club a bit of a let down

I’m writing this review for the October 18th Canada and New England sailing from New York City. This was our seventh MSC cruise, and fourth sailing in the Yacht Club. If you look at my signature on the discussion forums you can see my other reviews where we’ve previously spent an enjoyable two weeks in a Seaside Yacht Club interior, so had no hesitation booking the same type cabin for this 10 ...

We were on the Meraviglia departing New York doing the 10 day Canada/New England cruise leaving October 18. We have been on more than 20 cruises with Princess, Holland, Celebrity, Carnival and Norwegian. We have cruised previously on the MSC Seaside and the Divina. The Meraviglia is a very large ship carrying 4500 passengers. The ship is beautiful and was very clean throughout. We found all ...

Living in South Florida, we were ready to get away from the heat and travel to a cooler climate for a few days. Had cruised on MSC Divina and MSC Seaside, so decided to give the Meraviglia a try. We were not disappointed! The ship is just beautiful, and lovingly maintained. Officers and staff were very friendly and often visible. We had a balcony cabin and initially thought closet and storage ...

Not the best cruise I have been on with MSC

I have sailed on MSC Seaside twice before and really enjoyed everything about it. So I decided to sail on Meraviglia. There were confusing issues constantly. I registered as a gluten free passenger but that was not on their list. I booked the cruise 2 years ago while onboard Seaside but nothing I signed up for showed on their reservations. Seaside had lots of great options for eating but ...
