This is our 6th time on this ship and our 10th overall with MSC. We are former RCCL and Celebrity cruisers and love this line. Yes, the prices are good but the staff is exceptional and attentive. So many reviewers seem to make things up that are simply not true. There is no “$100 hotel charge”, Ocean Cay is gorgeous and not underdeveloped, the food is just as good as other lines, and their specialty dining, available in packages, is outstanding. Book this ship - we love it!

We embarked in Brooklyn, and the process was very smooth. For a new port, things went really well. In the past, we sailed Meraviglia from Port Canaveral.

There is plenty to do on this ship. Meraviglia is laid out so that you never feel crowded. We also love the choices of 3 different pools and always find deck chair space. Dancing, shows, games, or relaxing are all available.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Balcony

The balcony cabins are identical to any other ship. Our cabin attendant always has our room completed when we return from breakfast. It’s surprising and doesn’t happen on other lines.

Port Reviews

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve

Ocean Cay has become our favorite private island. It’s serene and beautiful. If you like a beach day, with really good catered food, you’ll love it here. There are lots of beaches, so choose busy and active or your own little hideaway. The food brought from the ship is exceptional for ‘island food’ - no hamburger or hotdog fare. You’ll have fish, jerk chicken, salads galore, veggies, and desserts.

Make sure to visit the Lighthouse Bar, too. Gorgeous views and comfy couches.
