MSC Meraviglia Review

Additional details
We got a good deal through Cruise Nation and although it wasn't an ideal time of year to cruise the Mediterranean we were looking forward to seeing the ports of call and experiencing life on a huge ship. Sadly we found that life with MSC was not for us and never will be again.
We boarded at Barcelona and it was a relatively smooth process. The ship is really a hop-on hop-off service around the Med so there wasn't a full boarding process. The numbers boarding at Citavecchia seemed greater which is no surprise as it is an Italian ship.
The ship itself was impressively huge and inside was the epitome of bling with shiny finishes and mirrors everywhere
Cabin Review
The cabin was well located close to the central lifts and just above the main entertainment decks 6 & 7. It was adequately sized for two people, definitely not any more. There was a small hanging and storage space but also a lot of wasted space. The shower room was fine, the beds were comfortable and the balcony was good sized. The room was kept tidy enough although the balcony area and the glazed balustrade were never cleaned in the week. The biggest criticism of the cabin was that it creaked. Yes, creaked! The worse the weather, the more everything creaked and we couldn't put our finger on why. But it was like a collection of old creaky doors and sleep was frequently interrupted .
