You are on a cruise ship to have a good time, and be around other people, and get some sun. —You can’t do any of those things by staying in your room. I was on deck 14(mid ship)Good location and easy to everywhere. The exclusive Top Sail Lounge was a great place to relax with a drink and view, read or get some work done. The Yacht Club sun deck was a lovely space, but it was often too hot for me, so I didn't spend much time up there.
Theater Shows
Breakfast remained the same daily, but lunch changed, as did dinner. The meat and cheese selections are wonderful and you must try the fresh mozzarella! Dinner in the MDR was often wrapped up within an hour for three courses and the staff were also fantastic.
Four MSC Ships Will Cruise from North America next Summer
It was a little backpack or drawstring backpack that we got. There’s also when you’re part of the when you’re part of the loyalty program, you get a discount on sailings with MSC, and on future sailings with MSC. And so I think it’s a 5% discount that you get as, as a member of that level. Bringing you 15 years of cruise industry experience.
The Marketplace Buffet
We watched her turn around in the basin, return, and dock at the Royal Caribbean Terminal. Now, the exciting thing was the placement of the Cirque theater. You have to walk through the smoking casino to get to the theater, which was kind of a strange setup, but the way the casino was set up.
To feed these passengers, the Explora I has six dining and 12 bar venues. My cabin looked more like a sizable and efficiently designed hotel room than a cruise ship stateroom. From the modern, elegant, and unstuffy design to the deluxe food, I have a feeling we're not in MSC Cruises territory anymore.
What we didn’t like about the Meraviglia
My cabin came with a pillow menu, which I only discovered after two nights of neck pain, thanks to mismatched pillows. The bed was topped with a memory foam mattress, which was like sleeping on a cloud. The room was furnished with a king-size bed that converts into two twins on request, a couch and a desk/vanity area. It featured a closet and cabinet space for storage and an en suite bathroom. Finally, MSC Meraviglia's sports equipment is kept under actual lock and key.
"No, those are for children only," a crew member behind the counter told a parent who was trying to grab dessert for his son, who was outside by the pool. If everyone is going to the same place at the same time, why not do the muster drill in person? On the flip side, if you're going to make people watch a video instead of doing a live demonstration, why make everyone go to their stations simultaneously?

See our Voyagers Club status match guide and get to the GOLD level by matching with other cruise and hotel companies. So the premium drinks package on this sailing would have been 790 a person, a person. We paid less for the entire yacht club experience, including those premium drinks.
Sails To
It would have been better if they just would have said “Check in to your muster station before XYZ time” … rather than forcing everyone at once to go to their station. With about 30 bars on the Meraviglia, there is no shortage of places to get a drink of just about anything. The only challenge is usually the lines and slow service. Jean-Philippe Maury – The specialty chocolate shop on the ship across from the Gelato stand is a great treat for sweets lovers. The prices were reasonable and they had a great selection of chocolates which were packaged nicely and would make great gifts.
The centrally located Meraviglia Bar & Lounge, found along Galleria Meraviglia (the ship's promenade) next to Jean-Philippe Chocolate & Cafe, is also home to trivia competitions, live music and dancing throughout the day. It's the bar often frequented by passengers before and after shows in the nearby Broadway Theatre. I also spent some time at the Casino Imperiale bar, which was open on my sailing longer than any of the other onboard watering holes.
There were some swells, but they had the magnetic, uh, bags out, the thick bags out in the elevator banks. They had those out for, for all of the passengers. We did talk to several folks who said they might not sail again in January, but but we liked it.
The food was still just OK, and both experiences were crowded and exceptionally loud. Closets in my cabin were just the right size for two people. There were two, one with a bar to hang clothes and another with cubbies for shoes, intimates and the cabin safe. I did find the closets' location in a small enclave that led to the bathroom a bit awkward. On the other occasion, I saw a couple of adults eyeing the chicken nuggets that were on offer. They were forbidden by a crew member from taking any.
There's also a small pool on the private Yacht Club sun deck. I'm not a huge seafood fan, so I avoided Ocean Cay, but I heard rave reviews from other passengers. This intimate restaurant, found on Seaside-class ships and MSC Meraviglia, offers a menu of fresh fish and seafood dishes, as well as a selection of wines for appropriate pairing.
As with a sailing on any ship, there's certain paperwork you'll need to cruise on MSC Meraviglia. If you're a U.S. citizen sailing from and returning to a U.S. port, you can sail with either an official copy of your birth certificate and a driver's license (both are required) or a passport. I recommend the latter, and it must be valid for at least six months.
