Great value but not blown away
"For just a bit more, a fantastic balcony cabin (12088) opened up so I went for that upgrade, and it was the best room I've ever had on any ship.The main dining room service also was not good...."Read More

I was on the same ship last August. It was not very good, Food and drinks ran out all the time, the food both quality and quantity was bad and I am not fussy with food. But I am extremely pleased and happy to tell you food in the buffet has improved so very much that I thought I was in a different ship and very seldom ran out of things any more. MSC finally got it. Same with the seafood ...

Great time. The staff was nothing short of incredible. Randolph was our waiter at dinner. We never wanted for anything. Can’t say enough good things about him. He took the time to talk to us, make recommendations, give us tips and tricks to improve our stay, and became an adopted member of our family by the end of the trip. Rudy was our cabin steward. He noticed that I had a CPAP machine and ...

Embarkation: Check-in was fast and MSC workers courteous, except one New Yorker port worker at security (but I'm a Texan in New York). We had a 10-10:30 am check-in time. After a subway and a bus, we arrived just a few minutes after 10am, dropped our luggage, and then we had to show passport and boarding passes before entering the security. After security was check-in, getting a boarding card, ...

Our family sailed on the March 3rd 2024 Meraviglia out New York to Cape Canaveral, Ocean Cay (stop cancelled due to wind), and Nassau. As background, we sailed on Princess (2 times), Royal Caribbean (3 times), and Carnival (1 time). This was our first time on MSC and to be honest, the negative reviews gave me pause. However, we got a good deal and figured that 7 days not having to cook and clean ...

This was my first msc cruise, my wife’s first cruise ever. It was a great time. Shoutout to John and Simphiwe from table 807 in the dining room, Willy from Hibachi, Jeevan who cleaned for us, Sean the magician from wonderville, Xavier and Doo the photographers, Clinton and the Irish pub. They were amazing and very personable. Made our vacation extraordinary. MSC upgraded us to a balcony suite ...

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 ...

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 ...

I took the wifi package which is satalite and marvellous. works anywhere on the ...

There was ALWAYS something to do and the guests as well as the crew ...
