Creator's Key Takeaways

I honestly thought the food might be a little better than NCL.

MSC kills NCL with coffee.

The muster drill was it was it was horrible.

I was surprisingly impressed truthfully.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the fresh mozzarella made at the buffet in the mornings.
Book the ferry to Atlantis rather than walking; it is much further than advertised.
Bring your own non-refrigerated creamer if you prefer specific flavors, as the coffee is good but basic.

Our Candid Review of the MSC Meraviglia. We embark on the MSC Meraviglia cruise from Brooklyn to the Bahamas! In Part 1 of this exciting adventure, we share MSC Meraviglia ship tips, take you through the smooth embarkation process at the Brooklyn Cruise Port, give a tour of our cozy Inside Cabin, and enjoy 2 days at sea full of relaxation, fun activities, and unforgettable memories—including an epic night of karaoke! We begin with our embarkation at the Brooklyn Cruise Port. Getting on board was easy, with efficient check-in and a welcoming crew. Before we knew it, we were stepping aboard the beautiful MSC Meraviglia, ready for our journey. The excitement was palpable as we explored the ship’s amenities and settled into our cabins. One of the highlights of the ship is the amazing LED display in the Galleria Meraviglia. This feature transforms the space with vibrant visuals, from ocean views to dynamic animations, creating an ever-changing atmosphere that’s truly awe-inspiring. In this video, we also show you our Inside Cabin. It’s a cozy, budget-friendly option, and we take you through the cabin’s layout, storage solutions, and thoughtful touches that make it a great choice for your next MSC cruise. As we set sail from the Brooklyn Cruise Port, one of the most thrilling moments was sailing under the iconic Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. This suspension bridge connects Brooklyn and Staten Island. The views were incredible as we cruised beneath the massive cables and towering towers, with glimpses of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. Sailing under the Verrazano Bridge marked the gateway to the Atlantic Ocean and felt like the start of an epic adventure! For dessert lovers, we couldn’t resist Jean Philippe’s Crepes, Gelato, and Chocolate. From decadent crepes to creamy gelato and indulgent chocolate treats, it was a paradise for sweet-tooth fans. We highly recommend stopping by for a taste of luxury. During our time at sea, we enjoyed dining at Kaito Sushi Bar, where we savored delicious sushi and fresh seafood. The menu had a variety of mouth-watering options, making it a must-try onboard for sushi lovers. Next, we share MSC Meraviglia ship tips to help you make the most of your cruise. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned pro, we’ve got advice on the best spots to visit, where to eat, and how to navigate the ship. From the Carousel Lounge to the lively TV Studio and Bar, you'll get a peek at the exciting spaces that make the ship a floating paradise. We also dive into the fun of our two sea days—pure relaxation and plenty of activities to keep us entertained. From sunbathing by the pool to exploring the ship's decks and lounges, we share the best ways to enjoy two days at sea. We show off amazing onboard experiences, like specialty dining, hitting the casino, and enjoying refreshing drinks with beautiful ocean views. A big highlight was the Broadway-style entertainment in the main theater. The performances were spectacular, with talented singers, dancers, and acrobats putting on incredible shows that had us mesmerized. MSC's entertainment is truly a must-see on any cruise. But the fun didn’t stop there—karaoke was another major highlight! We joined the action at the TV Studio and Bar, where guests sang their hearts out. The karaoke atmosphere was electric, with hilarious performances and incredible renditions. We share the best moments from this fun-filled night where everyone was a star! Stay tuned for Part 2 of our MSC Meraviglia cruise, where we explore Port Canaveral, Nassau, and enjoy even more exciting adventures!
