the Champagne Bar champagne based cocktails highly recommend absolutely

Gavin the cruise director on board he was everywhere but not in that overburdensome kind of way he would stop by and talk with us in the evenings

the midnight Buffet we sold you all in January on the best midnight Buffet we ever seen on a cruise ship and it was a sad sad shadow of itself

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

MSC gets a LOT of mixed reviews online and so we wanted to experience the brand for ourselves. We sailed a standard interior cabin on MSC Meraviglia to understand what a typical cruise with MSC looks like. You might recall that we sailed with the brand early 2024 in the Yacht Club – MSC’s ship within a ship concept. While that experience was phenomenal, we wanted to understand what it was like to sail with the cruise operator as a standard passenger. In this review, we’ll share what we still loved about MSC and MSC Meraviglia! We also dig into what we didn’t love and some of the things we hated about the experience. Unfortunately, those two lists have grown from last time. At the end, we share how many stars each of us would rate the experience. Hopefully you find information in our full MSC Meraviglia review that helps you decide whether or not this ship might be for you. And if you’re sailing MSC anytime soon, hopefully the tips and tricks we provide throughout will help you make the most of your cruise vacation! As always, thank you for your support of our adventures. We appreciate you watching our MSC Meraviglia Full Review and look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments! -Mark and Rocky #mscmeraviglia #msccruises #cruise #fullreview #cruiseship #review 00:00 Intro 01:01 What we LOVED 23:31 What we DIDN'T LOVE 33:17 What we DIDN'T LOVE BUT DIDN'T HATE 35:19 What we HATED 39:45 Final Thoughts
