Creator's Key Takeaways

we sailed on the msc maravilla to the bahamas in early august 2021.

the two recessed sections created some confusing interior passageways especially at the back of the ship

we found it more efficient to travel on the main elevators not only were there more elevators but the main elevators could also hold more passengers

the menu was also helpful if you had a drink package since it showed everything available with the easy package

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓plan ahead for navigating the odd layouts of the stateroom decks
✓locate your stateroom on the ship's online deck plan prior to boarding
✓be aware that you'll have to walk to the middle of the ship to access the stairs and elevators
✓take note of all of the midship elevator options that are available
✓check the deck plan located next to the elevators while waiting for your elevator to arrive
✓check out the touch screens located throughout the ship for making reservations
