Enjoy outstanding dining options and out-of-this-world entertainment with new panoramic areas, an innovative ocean-view aft lounge, a two-deck "inside promenade" with a 480m2 LED dome and a spectacular amusement area connected to an outdoor water park. Also, MSC Meraviglia is one of the four ships that sail to our exclusive Bahamian destination Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
As explained below, my opinion is a qualified 4 out of 5. Over the years, I've taken approximately 12 cruises with a variety of different cruise lines. This was my first time on an MSC Ship. There has been a lot of negative comments about this cruise line so my expectations were not high. I was just hoping for a decent cruise experience and MSC definitively exceeded my expectation. VALUE A+ . The fare price for my wife and I in a midship balcony cabin was the lowest we ever paid and an outstanding value. Great deal for a great destination. However not everything was perfect and we did have some issues that would influence taking MSC again Food " B" to B+ - We found the food to be adequate. Highlights were the Pizza and specialty Japanese Tapanyaki restaurant. The only other specialty restaurant we ate at was the steak restaurant which we felt was better then Outback but not the level of the high end steak restaurants. The Dining room was a bit hit or or miss and service was slow at times. Service was friendly but I think the staffing made it a challenge to get the food to table. If you didn't like a dish they will be willing to bring you something different but be prepared to wait. The Buffet was laid out well and even with big crowds we didn't have long waits just the selection was almost the same very day with little variety and mildly spiced. Quality was ok but boring as the week got longer Entertainment C+ to B- - The dancers that preformed the nightly shows were talented and they performed different acts on different days but felt repetitive. Took a long time getting out of the theater . We went to the specialty Rock show in the round where for a nominal admission charge you get a water downed extra sweet cocktail. Talented performers but not an exciting show. We cancelled our reservation for the Houdini show as we felt it would be repetitive and we weren't wowed by the Rock Show. - Cabin C- Well laid out and comfortable bed but furniture and carpet showed significant wear and tear. Our closet doors were Jamed and malfunctioning and although we reported it the first day ( and the second and third days) it took them until midweek to repair it. The bathroom was clean and well serviced during the week. On annoyance is we asked our cabin Steward to provide extra towels and someone he thought it meant only on the days we asked. I even tipped him a few times before it sunk in to leave us extra towels. Ship- B++ Beautiful well laid out and interesting ship. At times it was a challenge to remainder how to get around. We never waited long for elevators . Embarkation and Debarkation A Took as less the 10 minutes to clear and board and about 15 minutes to Debark upon our return. I was concerned about how they managed crowds and was pleased that despite numerous complaints MSC ( and the port) did an outstanding job THE MISSES and ANNOYANCES 1- They give you 2 towels per cabin for the pool to exchange. Your limited to the number of towels your provided and told you can only exchange. Maybe I should have lied and gotten more but I found the thought that the ship thinks we take a cruise with the goal to steal there old towels is an insult 2- I needed to borrow an extension cord for my C-PAC machine. The Cabin steward said he couldn't provide one so I had to wait on line at the services desk that took a $30 refundable deposit. Found that an extreme annoyance to wait to get the cord and wait to bring it back. Felt very low class 3- Smoking rules unenforced. We had a balcony cabin which was almost unusable because of the numerous smokers ( Cigarettes, cigars, and Pot) that were abusing the rules and smoking on their decks. Rude 4- The Crowd. Maybe I'm just getting to old to tolerate noisy and obnoxious fellow cruisers but found a very large number of inconsiderate folks on this cruise. Perhaps the proximity to the big city and low cost attracts a different class then the destination cruises. thats my 2 cents
We had the absolute best time on the MSC Meraviglia! This was our family’s second time on this beautiful ship, and it was even better than the first. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-designed. We enjoyed a premium aft balcony cabin—truly the best views at sea! The ship was spotless, and we loved our visit to the Thermal Spa, which was relaxing and never overcrowded. The entertainment staff made our trip unforgettable, especially Santi and Nicholas, who were true hidden gems. We didn’t use the main dining room but thoroughly enjoyed the specialty restaurants and buffet options. Hola Tacos was a highlight—Abel was an exceptional server and made our experience wonderful. We’re sad to see MSC leave Brooklyn and hope it’s only temporary, but we’ve already booked our next adventure on MSC World America. I can honestly say that I had no negatives to this voyage. Was the buffet busy? Yes. Were other guests rude and pushy? Yes... but you will have that on any cruise line AND it's not MSCs job to teach other adults manners. If you are traveling on a floating hotel with 6,000 other people, you have to expect not everyone will be your cup of tea, but I don't let those ruin the time I'm having! Hot Tip: spend the money on an Ocean Cay Cabana - they're amazing and so relaxing!
I stayed in the Yacht Cruise. The accommodations (except for the couch in our room (bad odor to it), food, and service personnel especially the dining room and pool area in the Yacht Club area were excellent. I especially loved the butler service. I do feel the embarking process needs help (it was much better last year) the personnel didn't seem to know procedure. The disembarking was ok but a little chaotic. I also didn't like after 2 days we received a charge of $280 for tips they claimed was for the chefs and laundry personnel. I felt that was excessive since we were fairly tipping the personnel on a daily basis. They did however, remove the charge when we complained. I'm sorry they're moving to Miami in 2026 because I found Red Hook so convenient. But I did enjoy the cruise and would travel again with them if they come back to Brooklyn.
