We chose this particular cruise to visit their new private island that was advertised as opened three weeks prior to our sailing. When we were checking in, there was a notice posted that said there was an itinerary change and we would not be stopping at the island but spending the day at sea.They claimed it was due to circumstances beyond there control yet they advertised it when we booked our ...

We picked this cruise because of price and I wanted to see what MSC had to offer. I loved our cruise. I thought the staff was great. Breakfast in the buffet was excellent. Sticky buns, omelets were made quickly, scrambled eggs were just done right for me. Hubby said best Corn Beef Hash. We only ate one night in the dining room because we went with our friends and they had a different dining ...

After sailing on seaside back in June we booked another cruise on seaside for June 2020. While looking on you tube I discovered Meraviglia. I’m not sure exactly why but the ship caught my eye. We discovered she was coming to North America, and I kept watching for a deal. Wasn’t a tough decision and we were booked for a 4 day cruise to Nassau and to Ocean Cay. That wound up getting changed as the ...

Our travel agent raved about MSC and their new man-made private island. Our trip on the Meraviglia was a cruise to remember it was horrible. Embarkcation went ok even though the lines were long, they went fast. Upon entering the ship, no staff and no welcome drink. Entering our balcony cabin #11069, there was no toilet paper nor tissues. Had to get our steward to give us a roll of toilet paper ...

We were interested in trying a new line as we had never sailed on MSC before. We were also very excited to try out the new Ocean Cay. Unfortunately the island was not ready yet, and we had an itinerary change to Cozumel. This didn't ruin it for us, but we were a bit disappointed. A lot of people seemed very angry about this, so it was a bit tense once people found out. Many were not aware ahead of ...

I and my family cruised many times and never had such bad experience as we did on Meraviglia. Only positive is that this ship is new, but very bad design from comfort and efficiency stand point. You can't enjoy your vacation on this ship. It is designed to create issues at every step. Customer was not on their mind when they decided to release this ship. Too many passengers (4500) and not enough ...

I've sailed several times on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, and I really wanted to experience the MSC brand and Meraviglia, despite the mixed reviews, because the ship seemed very impressive in videos. I got an excellent last minute deal and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the bad aspects of it outweighed the good ones.
The Good:
- Our cabin was very nice, very clean, ...

I would definitely NOT recommend this cruise line. Very poor customer service. When we needed something in our cabin we could not ever find our steward. When I would call the front desk, I either go no answer or it would ring about 30 times before someone would pick up. The food was very disappointing. Everything seem to close down early. I had my kids on the cruise and my son was looking ...

Went on this cruise with a large group of family with multiple state rooms. Most of us had a similarly negative experience with customer service. Staff was consistently rude in every restaurant, hallway, pool, bar, activity area. Many staff members did not speak fluent English which made me feel unsafe. Staff appeared poorly trained and unable to handle the capacity of people on the ship. Managers ...

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND ON A DIFFERENT CRUISE LINE!!
Our family of 70+ decided to celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary plus birthdays of our loved ones. Many of us have cruised on other cruise lines before. We have collectively decided to never board an MSC vessel again!!
Given the videos we saw about MSC, we approached our cruise with great anticipation only to be shocked by the gross ...
