Very good cruise, and very few negatives. I have been on 4 cruises previously, none with MSC. Solo Traveler from UK Cabin Was in Inside double Nice big inside cabin. Good bed, very big bathroom with roomy shower I was a solo cruise, so storage more than adequate, if you are a two then the storage will just be ok. Food Used Buffet and 2 of the 3 MDR, didn't use Specialty ...

At first as embarkation day, we arrived the port around 9 AM and the check in process took less than a hour because we were traveling with a friend of mine (including the parents) and requested for same boarding time and the line wasn’t too long. The expected departure schedule from Brooklyn Cruise Terminal was early than expected by several minutes. All aboard time is the moment when you must to ...

Our first time on MSC and we are seasoned cruisers. We had a FANTASTIC cruise! I wholeheartedly recommend MSC cruises to anyone considering something different than the usual “big guys” (X, Royal, NCL etc). It was a great value for our money. We honestly enjoyed the food better than any of the other cruise lines we’ve traveled and we’ve traveled inside cabin to suite class. It’s a real ...

We only cruise out of the New York area and wanted to get to Mexico. This cruise stopped in both Costa Maya and Cozumel. Ship is gorgeous. Food, if you can get it hot, is OK. Getting the food while it's still hot at a sit down restaurant is challenging to say the least. Had to go to into the cleanup area to speak to my waiter because he forgot to bring our dessert to the table one evening and ...

Currently on MSC Meraviglia ,absolute crap. Go at your own costs but be warned , service is shocking, the noise on deck 14 through the ceilings from the food marketplace morning noon evening and late into the night is unbearable . No sound proofing so all chairs being pulled out by customers to take their seats , tables being moved, trolleys being pushed can all be heard through the ...

My mom chose this cruise to celebrate her 70th birthday. She had 16 guests with her. We fulljoyed our experience. The staff was extremely helpful, especially in always us to host Chapel since there wasn’t a chapel on the boat or somewhere to pray. They provided accommodations and allowed it to be open for any other guests that were seeking the same. My mom and her friends loved the ...

Very attentive to special needs but otherwise extremely disappointing

Immediately the staff was very attentive to my special son & my elderly mom. They accompanied us & by passed the lines in order to get them out of the elements. The checkin staff was very friendly and accommodating . The “handicapped” rooms were the smallest of all the cruise lines we’ve been on, making it very difficult to navigate around- especially with a wheelchair bound son. . My wonderful ...

Before I explain the best/worst parts of this cruise - I'd like to mentioned I've been embarking on cruises since I was 8 (I've been on 14 cruises so far & i'm now 34). What I enjoyed: Entertainment was great. Lots of options for live music of all music genres throughout the day. They had free & paid shows nightly that were 4/5 entertaining/impressive. Specialty Restaurants: I suggest ...

I have been on many cruise lines and decided to try out MSC for Christmas with my family. I have adult children: 18 & 23. Let me begin: I give it 3 stars because the service and the workers that we dealt with were great! However, I believe MSC was not equipped to handle so many people on board. Not only did we experience "drama" amongst passengers but the lines for everything were ridiculous. ...

My family and I were so excited to embark on our adventure aboard the Meraviglia our of Brooklyn New York. The departure was fine; however, when we arrived in both staterooms were dirty. I immediately called the cabin steward and she cleaned both rooms again. This was not a great way to start a week aboard a ship that is trying to enter the US market out of the east coast. Overall, the ship ...
